  • Possibly a deal…or a nightmare

    Posted by Jimmy on April 18, 2018 at 9:28 am

    I know many are looking for the right coach at the right price. I saw this on another site and thought I would pass it on. Sounds like it could be a real adventure.

    We are an elderly couple with a story to to tell and a possible opportunity for the right person.

    In 2008 my wife and I began a tour in Montana with no particular destination in mind. We were driving our 1998 Prevost 45XL bus. We had a great time for many weeks and kept on drifting south.

    Eventually we ended up in Panama which we loved so we bought some land and did all the necessary things to set up our bus overlooking the ocean. We lived in the bus for five years and eventually built a house. We continued to use the bus as our guest suite and it has been maintained in good order.

    The bus has become surplus to our needs and it seems a shame for such a beautiful unit to be just sitting there unused. There is virtually no market to sell it in Panamá and we feel we are just too old to drive it back the the USA. Therefore, we have come up with a plan for anybody who really wants to be Prevost owner.

    We plan to sell the bus “as is” at a VERY low price. Anybody interested can come and live in the bus while they inspect it. A full description of the bus and the game plan will be made available by contacting Hugh at hustan45@gmail.com. if you are interested.

    A 20 year old bus sitting in the tropics for 10 years. What could go wrong?

    I thought the same thing … what could go wrong.

    Anyone have an idea what it would cost for a lowboy run from Panama to Vonore, TN? Let’s see … Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and finally the USA.

    Enquentra.24 is a Panama multi listing service and people list their homes for sale. It shows 60K in Panama Balboas, but do not that deter you as the Balboa is on par with the US dollar. In fact in Panama, the US dollar is the paper currency. The Balboas are only coins.

    Just for the hell of it …I used MapQuest ;choose a mid city in Panama.

    Kansas City, MO to Santiago, Panama. Works out to 3402 miles one way.

    I’ve read 1000’s of e-mails and posts but that’s a new one.

    Sort of reminds me of the winning Lottery ticket scam.
