Always check the chassis manufactured date encoded in the VIN. Ebay item number: 261609150172

Per the ad, it's an 03 chassis. Where did it hide for 4 years?

And it's early enough in the 2003 build that it missed out on Factory tag and steer 365's, hub centric wheels on all axles, and the 18000 lb steer axle. Given that the converter, Superbus, is closer to the lower tier in the world of converters, I'd put the value of this bus at considerably less than the asking price. Imagine a naive buyer coming in thinking he got a steal on an '07???
I don't know if you remember, but it was great fun watching the converters' inventory around the 2008 thru 2011 time frame. At the turn of each year I'd see the same advertised coach get bumped a year up in vintage - all the '08's became '09's etc. In those year ranges you have to be very careful about what you're really buying, but with any year you still need to be careful. Coaches were typically registered one year after the chassis build date; a one year delta is standard, anything more than this I believe merits a discount.

Since they've got it $200k less than the 06 Parliment, that should make people go hmmm! But folks see the flash and not the stuff, so it probably won't be for sale long.
