Guide to School Buses
Consider your options when buying new or used school busses from a local dealer
There are websites available with hundreds of used school buses for sale, as well as new ones, that allow you to browse based on type, seating capacity and price range.
When considering purchasing a school bus for sale, it's important to think about the following:
1.Check the seating available in the school buses for sale and know how many people you'll need to fit inside.
2.Estimate a price range that you can use to narrow down your search of used school buses for sale.
3.Decide whether you'd prefer a gas or diesel engine on your school bus.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Contact distributors in your area that offer school buses for sale and ask if they deliver
You'd be surprised how many school bus vendors require you to pick up your new or used school buses yourself. Some dealers only deliver to local airports and require you to pick your bus up there. Be sure to check if they offer temporary license plates for your used school bus, as well, or you'll have to do extra paperwork before you can pick up your school bus.
I recommend:
Contact Midwest Transit Equipment to find information on dealers in your area.
Ask places that offer used school buses for sale if they service used buses
Make sure that they're an authorized repair center and ask whether they offer free bus towing services or repairs and if they'll repair buses under warranty. Confirm that they can repair your particular make and model and that replacement parts are readily available. Ask for maintenance and service records to see if the bus has already required repair.
I recommend:
Check out A-Z Bus to see their list of services offered for new and used buses.
Find a place to paint your bus with appropriate lettering and logos
Once you've purchased your school buses, you'll need to have the school's name, district and fleet number written on them to help with identification. If you want special text or graphics, you should find a shop that specializes in custom paint jobs.
I recommend:
Select a company from the School Bus Fleet Directory to do paint, lettering and graphics on your yellow school bus.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Bring a mechanic along with you to inspect the school buses when you're selecting used school buses. Have him look inside and inspect any school buses you're considering purchasing. This can save you a headache later on by finding and eliminating problems upfront.
