Most used school buses come with a complete service record. Check that before you purchase any used school bus to get a good idea of what condition the vehicle is in and what it will require in maintenance. In addition, know how you intend to use the school bus, paying attention to the features that are most important to you.
Many used school buses are sold directly by local school districts at public auctions. You should be able to inspect each available bus before the auction begins. Check for rusts and leaks especially.
The price you pay for used school buses will depend on the condition of the bus, its age and how many miles it has, as well as the type of sale the school district is engaged in. For the budget-minded buyer, look for a used school bus that is around 10% of the new price for a model with a good maintenance history and no visible mechanical issues.
