If you look closely at the photo's you can see its the same surroundings, same garage, same house next door. But listed in 2 different states. I say SCAM!!! sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: OK Mark: I went back and looked again. On the Samba ad it says it is in Houston and the price is $52,500 and it is a 58. On the craiglist ad the price is $7,500 says it is in Austin and the bus is a 57. And it appears to be the same (*&^^%$#$@ bus. I haven't found it on e-bay. Does anyone know the seller? sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Mark: How did I misread the ad. The craig list ad very specifically says $7,500 and is Austin craig list and appears to be the same bus listed in Houston except one year different 57 vs.58.
