Should Your District Buy Used School Buses?
Summary
Used buses frequently need repairs and upgrades to bring them into line with current regulations, plus they are likely to have shorter useful lifespans. On the other hand, sometimes you can get a great deal if the bus received a new engine or transmission midway through its life. Always Take a Skilled Mechanic to Check the Bus in Detail As large and complex as school buses are, a full check-up will take a while, but it needs to happen. You should have a mechanic go over every inch of the bus, looking for signs of neglect, and cataloging any potential problems that would need to be fixed before they can enter active service. Of course, with cheap enough used school buses, you could potentially buy a bus and give it an engine upgrade while still saving money overall.
