A bit too dear to pay $115k for that Neoplan decker especially when there is a hell of a lot of work to be done to the interior of this bus.

Another Merc 0305 has been listed on Trademe for $11000 ono. This unit would make a great motorhome with some minor work on the conversion of the interior already started.

Was ARA 1673, then Taupo Passenger M3, then Waipawa 173. Probably a Merc engine from one of their ex ARA Mercs.

I agree with that, $7500 is a good price for a Volvo B10m in good condition I reckon.

See there's another Bristol for sale up in Kumeu, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 319444.htm But they want $10,000. COF & Regn are both expired. The guy won't budge on the price either.
