Kobayashi Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 It seems #8525 has been saved from the scrappers torch a decade ago by a private owner but given a new plate as 160 3BH and has been used for the truck and driver training located outside of Kitchener (not my photo). It’s unclear if the owner scrapped the bus or hid it somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had planned to convert 525 to an RV and bring it to his Florida residence but I didn't hear back from him after his winter 2020 vacation and unsure if 525 made it to Florida. Driver Training was conducted on ex GRT 2306 when it retired from the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're being sold by 7820356 Canada Inc out of Quebec. Not sure where the busses are, but if they are actually in Oakville, then the seller could be wanting to sell them quick.

Orion VI Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Another Ex. GRT Nova being sold on AutoTrader. Not exactly sure which bus it is, but it's either 2609, 2610 or 2612. It was used as a "medicbus" during the pandemic, (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/last-day-care-bus-tbay-1.5990176), and was sold in 2021 to an individual who has no use for it at this point. https://www.autotrader.ca/a/nova bus/lfs 400/thunder bay/ontario/19_12386229_/?ms=heavy_trucks&showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&ursrc=pl&urp=1&urm=8&sprx=-1&modalXS=1 Side note: If anybody knows the seller of this particular bus, I'd mention to them that $20,000 is not the going price for Novas of this mileage and age, like they mention in the description. Ex. GRT 2704 (which is in better mechanical shape) is still listed months after it was put up for sale, and it's listed at just under $9000. Not sure how much luck they'll have with this.

Which is also wrong, given the front end. Has to be 2006 or older, not sure exactly which one. <- old style front end. Not sure if that is the bus being sold, as the listing does contain pictures from a Nova that still has it's GRT livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, it could be 8021, which got auctioned off at a time that could line up with the owner's story. its 8021 thats the only 2008 retired it had engine issues when it was Retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2005 units were auctioned off at around the same timeframe, so I still think it may be a 2006 model, but which exactly, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
