High mileage school buses doesn't mean they can't go another 100,000 miles depending on condition and what you plan on using it for.
Most used school buses are in very good condition since they were maintained under strict guidelines for obvious reasons, carrying school children everyday. The body rust could be an issue if the school bus came from a wet mountainous region that used a lot of road chemicals.
Gas or diesel engine?
My choice is always diesel since they can really take a licking with high mileage. Since most uses after the school fleet life of a bus is light duty, the life expectancy of a diesel will outweigh a gas engine. This all depends on the condition of the engine and how it was cared for.
The drivetrain is generally an automatic transmission. Allison transmissions are the most common. They are very durable and can go for many miles after retirement if cared for and maintained properly.
I have many posts here on my blog on common diesel engines and the Allison transmission found in school buses. They information is about failures and fixes along with maintenance tips. The search box in the top left hand corner will help you find what you are looking for.
