How do you go about appriasing a bus that is sitting in a lot and negotiating a purchase price? We want to buy an '81 Prevost LeMirage, but don't know how to start the negotiation process. How did you guys and gals deal with sales people when you bought your coaches? How did you finalize a price, or even start with a price? |

All busses have a starting or asking price. Ask what it is from the salesman or owner and go from there. You can take that price that was given to you and check the market for that particular type bus or conversion. Only YOU can decide if it's a deal or not!

Get some one who "knows" this type of bus. Have them check it out and give you a "rough" or"clean" or " xtra clean" . If he is really good have him put his hands on the drive train and give you a "Muldoon Estamate" ie the trouble free miles that are remaining?
Take this "condition report" to apraiser,insurance adjuster, Ians MOM.
Gives you and the sales person a "second oppinion" on the $value$ and not some $number$ he thinks you pulled out of the air.
May give you a heads-up "if your bus used to be two buses??

Sorry I forgot the preamble;
< Asking price is hoped for profit + cost
< Value is what the insurance company will pay
< Price is how much you are willing to pay
