What would you guys suggest as a fair sell value for a 1990, 1991, or 1992 IHC bus- 7.3 Liter and air brakes?
Also, what about the same year model buses with a DT 360 in them? |

Wow, you are very generous. NEVER, and I mean NEVER, get a used bus from A-Z in California... what a RIPOFF!!! Unless of course you get one of the cheaper priced buses... then it isn't as bad.
I would charge somewhere around $3,500-5,000 depending on the body, condition, mileage, etc. That price is really fair, in my opinion.

That's way too expensive,in my opinion. $1500-2500 seems more reasonable. |

According to the 2003 Edition of the Yellow School Bus Book, the prices of a 61 to 72 passenger school bus with a diesel engine (standard power), air brakes, and auto transmission would be the following:
All prices are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.
1990: $4,100
1991: $5,200
1992: $6,300

Maybe for a Carpenter with a bad roof. |

I don't think so. We've sold 1990-1991 model Thomas Saf-T-Liner ERs for what you would ask for a conventional ($5,000.00).  |

Along the same lines, what would a reasonable price be for an automatic 1991 International diesel school bus with hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes? Would the Yellow School Bus Book price of $5,200 still apply, or do air brakes make a bus more valuable, and if so, by how much? Thank you!

Air brakes are required by some agencies making them somewhat more valuble. The problem with the bus mentioned is the 7.3 liter engine. Not the best, nor the most reliable. If it was a DT360 it would be worth considerably more, ask any dealer to confirm. When we sell ours (all DT engines) we get buyers from all over the country. They wouldn't show up for the 6.9 or 7.3 powered units. I'd guess $3-4,000 would be the very top, if in pristine condition! Joe |

Hi bus curious,
Subtract $800 for a 1991 bus with hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes. The price now should be around $4,400. Hope this helps! |
