    Hello, see below:

    I am a first time buyer of a Prevost. Have one in mind that is slightly used and not built by the major 5 converters.

    -Who Converted the Bus? What year, Engine etc.

    Wondering how most people buy used Prevosts out there?

    -If you are looking at an older one you will need to pay cash as Banks won’t finance them.

    Is it common to test the prevost for a few thousand miles and have the ability to return it in case something doesn’t work out?

    -No, never. The process is Just like buying any other automobile.

    Do most use an escrow service for these things to transfer ownership?

    -My Bus was for sale thru Pop’s RV which is now Popsells. The process was just like buying a house, they handled the entire transaction.

    Just trying to figure out how to buy one without getting screwed and realizing after I buy it that there’s something wrong with it that I couldn’t find during the inspection process.

    -There is always something that will pop up even after the sale. Bus owners need to be tough minded and either have a lot of money or a lot of tools and the courage to jump in and learn. The second was my approach.

    Any advice is appreciated!
