Shuttle bus purchases away from home

Superior Service from Major Vehicle Exchange!

Buying a used vehicle can be a risky business but not if you buy from the right company. Major Vehicle Exchange is an established bus dealer that has been in business since 1985 and since then has specialized in the sale of reconditioned used buses for transportation companies, adults, seniors and churches. Buses are fantastic as they can be used for a variety of purposes as well as being an economical way of transporting large groups of people around. Even if you are looking for a bus for a special purpose like conversion into a tour bus, a mobile showroom or just to transport your large family around, then Major Vehicle Exchange is the place for you!

With Major Vehicle Exchange you do not to be concerned as to the quality of the used vehicles. Each of the vehicles on sale from Major Vehicle Exchange is thoroughly road tested, checked for mechanical and appearance defects and any necessary mechanical repairs are carried out by the Department of Transportation certified technicians. And you can of course inspect the bus for yourself before purchasing.

Not only does Major Vehicle Exchange offer a range of high-quality vehicles but they also pride themselves on providing the best customer service possible. The company has a team of friendly staff who put your needs first and offer a variety of delivery options designed for buses and specialty vehicles. The company itself is located 35 miles from New York City in suburban Long Island, but if you are not nearby then there are a variety of delivery options that will insure your vehicle reaches you in the fastest time possible and in the best condition. If you are prepared to travel and are not too far away, then the company itself is easily reached from the nearby Long Island Expressway at Exit 40 West and LaGuardia, JFK International and Long Island MacArthur airports are conveniently only a few minutes from the office.

Of course if you can get to the office and back in one day then great, but if not then don’t worry. Picking up your vehicle in person is recommended if possible, but if you live too far away to make the trip in a day then rest-assured that the company will make it their mission to give you all the information you need about lodging and where to eat during your stay. The main aim of the company is to make the buying process as convenient and comfortable as possible for the customer, so don’t think that all connections are cut as soon as the money exchanges hands; this is not how Major Vehicle Exchange operates!

The company is able to deliver the bus directly to your location anywhere in the United States, Canada, South America, Puerto Rico or to a port of your choice if more convenient.

The typical drive-away cost is $1.25 per mile or a flatbed service of $1.25-$2.00 per mile so it is worth bearing in mind that if more than one vehicle delivered per load it can save you money.

A Guide To Buying Used Shuttle and Handicap Buses

A Guide To Buying Used Shuttle and Handicap Buses.

When buying a used bus you first need to think about what you are going to be using it for and the specific requirements you are looking to fulfill. If you do not focus on what you want and need you may end up being distracted by something you don’t really need! There are many different types of buses to choose from, the most popular sort being the shuttle bus. The shuttle bus is also known as a minibus in different areas and this vehicle has a great variety of configurations. A shuttle bus is a great way of transporting groups of people or large families around, but as with any used vehicle there are a few things you need to think about first in order to get exactly what you want.

With all used vehicles, with a shuttle bus you really do get what you pay for. If you get it right a shuttle bus will serve you well and be a great investment for you but you need to know what to look for. First you need to be aware of the different types of shuttle buses available. You can choose from church buses, tour buses, handicapped buses and circulating shuttles which are the sort of buses that run on a continuous basis, back and forth from the airport, for example.

Once you have decided on what sort of bus would suit you best then you need to access the condition of the vehicle. Of course a used bus is going to have a higher mileage than a new one, but that doesn’t mean you should accept a vehicle if it has a very high mileage. The higher the mileage the more problems you are likely to get with the bus as it has been used a lot and it may have experienced some wear and tear. Used buses are usually diesel powered and it is worth remembering that a diesel engine averages more than double the life of gas powered one as measured in miles. This means that you can allow for higher mileage with a diesel vehicle. You also need to be extra careful when inspecting Ford diesels that were built from 2004-2009 as it has been well documented that the engine has been very troublesome.

You can often make a great investment by buying a shuttle bus despite the high mileage as it will last the distance and reconditioned buses can be found for 30-40% of new vehicle prices. You need to inspect the bus to make sure the engine and the body of the vehicle are in good condition so don’t be afraid to look under the hood and even get under the vehicle to see if everything is in working order or send someone qualified to do it and give you a report. Check the tires as well. Always make sure that you fully inspect the vehicle before making a purchase.

If you are looking for a shuttle bus to accommodate persons with special needs such as a medical transport bus, senior center bus, adult day care bus, or a medical transport. You will find that many shuttle buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts so they are perfect for these situations. The type of seating is also important as this is where you will spend most of your time sitting down so make sure that the seats are appropriate for the sort of passengers you will be transporting.

If you follow this short guide you will be very pleased with your purchase and your vehicle will last you for a good few years to come and you will get lots of good use out of it.

Major Vehicle Exchange is a one stop shop for all your used shuttle bus needs. The company has been established since 1985 and specialize in used shuttle and wheelchair buses. But they also offer a range of other buses to fulfill all your motoring requirements. They are always on the look-out for good trade-ins as well.
