10. Surplus Buses
Rationale:
This topic is brought back from last month's meeting.
So far, Dixie Diesel out of Columbia is the only licensed place I've found that would be willing to pull the motors and transmissions. They would pay about $500 for the motors, but would it would cost approximately $850 to pull the motors and transmissions. We would also be responsible for the tow bill, both to and from the shop, which will be about $175 each way. Tres Beasley
