School buses for sale


Question Posted Sunday March 9 2014, 11:44 pm

We would like to get an old school bus and convert it into something we could travel in. Sort of a hippy bus like they used to do? We called a school and they said they didn't know where we could buy an old bus.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Where I live the school system does not operate the school buses they are operated by contractors even though it may say the name of the school system on the side of the bus. Look along the bottom of the bus near the entry door or under the driver’s window of the school bus and you will see the DOT information as to who is the operator of the bus and other information.

Contact the operator(s) directly to see if they have any buses for sale or ones that may be coming up for sale. Many states dictate how long a bus may be in service as a school bus. After that time the operator can no longer use that bus to transport school children though it may remain in service for other uses.

If you do purchase a bus directly from the original operator make sure to ask for the buses maintenance records. DOT regulations require operators of school buses to keep detailed maintenance records on all buses. Take a good look at the records and make sure the records match the bus you are buying.

Search for "(your state) bus operator" on Google. The bus operator's website should have contact details. Ask them.
