Oh, did I mention that the cost of parts is ridiculous? OH! Did I mention that there's very very very few manufacturers of buses so that they can set the price to whatever they want?

OH! We changed the design of the bus to be more friendly to handicapped people. Well, because we decided to make it easier for handicapped to use the bus, we had to change the entire driveline.

Did I mention the cost of parts again?

How about the costs for redesigning axles with triple gear reduction done in seperate housings? We can't fit a regular pumpkin under those low-floors, mind you.

OH! And you all like to be comfortable in the bus, right? Need that expensive-ass refrigerant...R22! Can't cool that thing off properly without it.

The list goes on, guys. You're tuners, you should know that the price of parts is high as hell.
