Yahoo Autos Buy The Big Mercedes Bus Because A Three-Row SUV Isn't Nearly Big Enough
There’s one thing American drivers definitely want, and it’s bigger vehicles. If you’re looking for a family commuter machine and a new Suburban is just a bit too small, try this Mercedes O-klasse bus on Bring A Trailer. This particular bus has been outfitted with some deckchairs for seats, but you could easily install some new comfortable benches or even turn the back of the bus into your mobile office or something. This is a blank slate that is ready to take on whatever your family’s needs are.
This big behemoth, formally called an O309D, is powered by a 3.8-liter diesel inline-4. That OM 314 engine would have made somewhere around 80 horsepower when it was new. The O in the van’s name stands for Omnibus (much the way G stands for Geländewagen), which is just the German word for bus. Because it’s a bus. A big one. For hauling your kids and all of their friends.
If you need a big daily driver, you should head over to Bring A Trailer and get bidding on this monster machine. There’s no reserve, and as of this writing the bidding is only up to $3,500. You can’t buy more car for that much money, it’s impossible.
And before you ask, no, this probably won’t fit in your garage.
