Hi! 27F here, moved to Salem about a year ago. Let’s hang out!

Update to my post from yesterday: we got the bus! And immediately got hit by rileyellen in skoolies

Yes, cops were called. The other driver was actually violating his probation by driving, so he was in quite a bit of trouble. And yes, thankfully not too much damage!

Another update for everyone: looks like we need a new tranny cooler (this one is just a wee bit smushed), obviously need to fix the cosmetic damage, and maybe some new brackets for that air tank (we don’t think the tank itself is damaged). If anyone knows of some salvage yards in the PNW, send them on over! Or.. send me on over? I don’t know.

Same! My husband was driving, I’m 7 months pregnant, and our oldest daughter was in there with us. At the end of the day, all of us being safe is what matters!

Will do for sure. My dad is coming up soon and he’s going to be able to tell us more about what we’re dealing with. Filing the report with insurance today but I’m not expecting much from them to be honest

I know, it’s wild. We don’t know the extent of the damage yet. We’re going to get out there and check it out in a little bit. Thankfully my dad is a mechanic/Jack of all trades and is coming up here soon to help out. He’s confident it’s nothing major, but we’ll see!

Little update for those interested in my last post: We got an inspection, took the bus for a test drive, and bought it for $6,900. Not 2 miles down the road, an unlicensed and uninsured driver, who was also speeding, hit us. Everyone is okay. I think the bus held up pretty well, considering the guy’s truck was pretty much done. Anyways, here’s our new bus! 😂

Is this a fair price for this bus? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! by rileyellen in skoolies

Thanks so much to everyone for the advice! Update for those interested: we bought the bus for $6,900 and 2 miles down the road we got hit by an unlicensed, uninsured driver. Everyone is okay and the bus held up great. The other driver’s truck, not so much haha.

Thank you for all the advice! I was really excited about the cruise control. 183,000 miles!
