Our "Test Before You Buy" Program

We have discovered that sometimes it is necessary for our customers to check out a new or certain, late-model used bus before making a commitment to purchase it. Therefore, we have developed a program that will allow you to use the bus or van for a thirty (30) day period at a nominal charge.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

If you decide to purchase the vehicle, 100% of the inspection fee will be credited toward the purchase price. If you decide not to purchase the vehicle, return it to our dealership after 30 days, and the inspection fee will be forfeited. If you decide upon another bus or van, 50% of the inspection fee will be credited toward that purchase.

$65,000 to $79,999 $4,500
