Sounds like a bargain, but beware, it may be a "Quick Fix" seller.

Have a look under the bus, if you find a lot of rust, lift up carpets and look for rust.

If its a "Quick Fix" Bus, the guy will not do these areas, as he will try to save cash, and if the body looks good, he feels you will not look deeper.

These type of fixes are normally a lot of news paper, and body filler, with cheap paint.

BUT that is not always the case, so well worth going through the bus, before committing your self.

If it pans out, buy it then and there, or the price will go up.
