Hello,
Busses are very expensive to have worked on, if your looking for simular quality as new. And you can be nickel and dimed to death. If your willing to do much of the work yourself, not so bad. The newer the bus is, the greater the likelyhood that the recent owners still could afford to mainetane that bus...
The difference between a 1980, 1987, 1994 can be as if walking through a time machine. The wiring, for example, is much better thought out in my 1987, than my old 1980. The paint on my 1987 is much nicer than on my 1980, price a quality paint job... But some people really liked the rustic look of the 1980 (but one neighbor hated it!)
A FC will get better fuel economy than a pusher, and have less push and more noise up front. There is more storage in a pusher. But FC's can be smaller, which might be desirable.
This is a buyers market to be sure, more so last summer I suspect, even with the bad economy. Money talks, most "Buyers" are in fact dreamers. You could end up with a hell of a bus at the middle of your price range.
Regards.
