This looks like it has potential...for the $ he's asking I don't think you could go too far wrong.

I already have too many buses and too little time (and money)...otherwise I'd be all over this one!

If someone can get it running OK, I can store it in Northern California for as long as needed.

Crap-ola! Sorry Chi...I had a hunch that one would go quick. If I didn't already have 4 buses on the property right now I would have grabbed it myself when I first saw the ad....wouldn't have gone over too well with the spousal unit...four buses and a bug she is *dealing* with...actually rather nicely. Five buses and that may have just pushed her over the edge.
