OC Transpo 8238 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 You should consider the following: How easy can you get parts? Can you maintain it by yourself? Do you have somewhere to park it? To answer your question: A scrap dealer in Peterborough wants $4000 for a 35ft Fishbowl. But it depends on the condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC40-102N Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 You should consider the following:How easy can you get parts? Can you maintain it by yourself? Do you have somewhere to park it? To answer your question: A scrap dealer in Peterborough wants $4000 for a 35ft Fishbowl. But it depends on the condition "How easy can you get parts?" Not sure. "Can you maintain it by yourself?" Simple things, I guess. Anything major I would need to get a pro to look at it (That would be cost alot, right?) "Do you have somewhere to park it?" Yes, I have ALOT of space, although I don`t live there (My dad rents the house to someone but we can still use most of the land) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevep Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-R...QAdIdZ144731577Is this bus really worth $3,200.00? Do you think that was what Guelph Transit would have sold it for? I`m considering buying it, but there is no front right turn signal in the picture. Looks like that right front signal is lying on the floor inside - you can see it in the interior photo. Capital Bus Parts is a great source of parts - they sell used and refurbed. Costs can be kept down if you can do some work yourself as labor charges are always a huge part of any repair bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I always like to try to do it myself. I`ve sent an email to the seller about the condition of the bus, ~2:00pm today. Still no reply...

TC60102N Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 1988 Orion II selling for $8,994. That bus was used by Fairview Mennonite Home in Cambridge (Preston) and I would see it every so often running around town, Unfortionatly I never got a photo. The bus was replaced by a International cutaway similar to what St.Thomas, Kingston and Cobourg Transit use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 As some of you know, the transit service in Drummondville, Qc was taken over by a new company that runs only cut-a-ways now. All the CTD Drummondville Orion I's and Orion V's all 30ft long are for sale in Drummondville. They are scattered around in city in various gas station parking lots. I remember someone on the board asked me if Drommondville would be selling their 30ft Orion V's and the answer is yes they are. So now's the chance for someone that wants either a baby Orion I or V!

Chris W Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Can you drive that II with a regular G license? Or do you need your BZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VIII Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 As long as there are fewer than 24 seats you can drive it with a G. I'd imagine a Z endorsement would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 As long as there are fewer than 24 seats you can drive it with a G. I'd imagine a Z endorsement would be helpful. I was always told that you can drive a bus with a G, as long as you have no passengers. But of course it is a good idea to have the proper license, especially a Z with an air braked vehicle.

PHATMATT Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 if you are carrying more that 9 passengers you need an "F"....over 24 then its a "C"(coach).....if your doing school then under 24 is a "E" and a school bus is "B"...just went through the course..... if the vehical has air brakes you need the Z no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic 9401 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 get me a price, please I heard it was between 10,000 and 15,000$ ! That's quite expansive considering the age of these buses and their actual conditions (frame etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
