2013 71 Passenger School Bus - photo 1

2013 71 Passenger School Bus

PublicSurplusVehicles📍Dulce, NM

Moderate damage flagged

GovAuctions Summary

A 2013 Bluebird 71-passenger school bus with 72k miles, Cummins engine, Allison transmission, good tires and brakes, but three warning lights (check engine, DEF system, engine warning) and fair overall condition. Sells to school districts, daycare centers, and bus-conversion specialists. Pull the check-engine and DEF fault codes before bidding; those lights often point to emissions or injection systems, which can be costly to repair.
