Thanks again.
As for four things wrong with it, they may all be minor... I'm keeping in mind the good price, and the fact that its' 28 years old. ... as for the majors:
- 114,000 miles
- Gillig chassis
- Cat Turbo diesel, from cold it started almost instantly, with only the smallest of grey puffs (we had a 1986 Diesel Suburban, perfect running condition, and it "puffed" more)
- Allison MT643 transmission
- Almost no corrosion anywhere! I was amazed how little corrosion for a 28 year old vehicle.
- Very good Michelin tires
- Beats our budget by several thousands
- We both loved the layout, the ruggedness, and the lack of slides. We plan to put miles on it, and prefer no slides.
Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions - keep them coming!
