1985 Prevost Bus Conversion, 136,000 original miles, stored indoors.

Now the questions:

1. Is a bus conversion like this a maintenance nightmare as compared to a truck conversion or would they be similar?

2. Would a new bus conversion like this today cost $500k?

3. Do you think the buyer got a good, very good, exceptional deal when you consider the orignal price, the low miles, the good condition of a 24 years old conversion for 90% off original price?

I'd like to find a truck conversion like this for a discounted rate if you hear on any for sale.
