So, here is a guide to buying a used bus in India: 

  1. What to buy?

First and foremost, you need to decide on what type of bus you need for your business or personal use. Buses come in different sizes, with different features and make and models. You get different types of buses for commercial ventures and housing purposes (RV) therefore, it's important that you decide what type, make and size the bus is. After deciding what vehicle you want, you can go online and narrow down the options. 

  1. Research: 

After deciding on what brand, model and other aspects mentioned earlier, try to research places where you can find a used bus at a lesser price but more importantly in good condition. You should check online for reliable sources, websites and people but also find offline shops where you can visit and take a look at the bus you like before deciding on purchasing it. 

  1. Inspection:

Next, make sure to inspect for corrosion, bad components and bodywork before making an offer. You can start by checking the body panels for any corrosion or dents, then the engine bay for any kind of leaks from gaskets and other parts, then finally the joints, bushes and minor parts of the vehicle.

Pro tip: Check under the wheel wells for corrosion. 

  1. Buy from dealerships: 

Finally, we would like to state that buying from authorised dealerships is the best way to get good condition used buses. We say this because private sellers can forge documentation and hide details which can reduce the price of the vehicle. However, if you are buying from an OEM-based dealership, you could even get a warranty, a return back policy as well as safe financing options.
