The buying process.

 

“Don’t tell mom. She’ll say NO for sure.” 

I’ll never forget the phone call. The “are we really doing this?!” on repeat when we finally pulled the trigger. We didn’t have a giant price range so we might have gotten a bit of a rust bucket, but it was our rust bucket.

The guy who sold us the van said “It’s comforting to know its going to a good home”

You think you’ve done enough research unless you have one. Then you realize just how little you know.  I guess that’s what new parents feel like, but how would I know.

By the time we pulled the trigger on buying the bus I had lost a month of my life to Craiglist’s searching for available vans around the country. Sweet people kept sending me listings, taking pictures, doing u-turns so we could check out every possible option. My favorite encouragement I got was a FB message from a pastor telling me “This is God, telling you to buy the bus.” Of course it wasn’t actually God, but the message was still true.

What our emotions felt like.

Our buying criteria:

  1. Manageable rust

  2. It starts.

 Our advice would be: 

  1. Do lots of research 

  2. Do even more research

  3. Call Robbie at Airschooled 

  4. Buy the bus!
