I am the first to add
emission information
EGR = exhaust
gas recirculation
On most 2004 and newer
International DT466E
and 2005 and newer V8
IC diesel bus engines.
Other manufacturers may
not have it. Caterpillar
did not use it.
DPF = diesel
particulate filter
On most 2008 and newer.
This is where "regen"
comes into play.
DEF = diesel
exhaust fluid
most 2010 models and newer.
International never put DEF
on their own diesel engines.
VGT = variable geometry turbo
found on DT466E starting 2004,
the International VT365 and
all Maxxforce DT and MF7,
Cummins ISB and ISC starting
2004, and all 6.7L Cummins
from 2008. There are other
engines that may have VGT.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE
MEAN, BUT WANT TO KNOW, I
WILL GLADLY EXPLAIN
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
BY
APPOINTMENT ONLY
CALL BEFORE COMING.
I AM SOMETIMES ON THE ROAD.

out our eBay STORE.

* indicates there will be
additional fees on top of
the sale price. You may
be required to pay
sales tax, title transfer

other necessary fees.
Each state is different.
When miles are indicated with
** on this website, they were
taken off the odometer of
the bus. Not the ECM. There
is no way to ever guarantee
the actual miles on any
big truck or bus.
MY MISSION:
We
are a family ran
business. For 51 years, I
have sold used school buses.
My goal has never been to
sell you a bus. It is to make
sure you don't buy the wrong
bus! We offer FREE
information on bus-related
concerns.
We search the entire country
for the best buses. We drive
our buses from the schools.
We strive to have the best
used buses in the United
States. We strive to have
the cleanest used buses.
My primary market is
NOT export. It is churches
and non-profit organizations.
What they do for our
communities is incredible.
I do what I do so they can
do what they do, BETTER. By
offering these organizations
BETTER BUSES at
BETTER PRICES,
they can perform their
transportation duties BETTER.
Another target market for me
has been the skoolie conversion,
tiny home, RV conversion, and
work truck conversion people.
School buses make a wonderful
tiny house and many people live
full-time in their school bus
conversion. Others choose to
build RVs out of a good, used
school bus. Their durability
and reliability far exceeds
that of a regular used vehicle.
The buses we sell have had
great maintenance since new.
They were driven to Florida from
wherever they were in service,
usually many hundreds of miles.
If we find anything wrong with
the bus, we have it repaired
before it is offered for sale.
Also, food truck conversions are
popular. School buses also make
wonderful transport vehicles
for many small businesses.
Our buses truly are BETTER.
Come see us. You will quickly see
how much BETTER
our buses are,
how much more knowledgeable we
are, and how much more willing we
are to help.
We strive to be the BEST.
If you
wish to have a
thorough inspection performed
on a bus you are thinking
about purchasing, I travel
to the bus and inspect it
with or without you
being there. Let my
50+ years of buying and
selling used school buses
work for you. I can also
attend auctions with you.
