That will not happen so long as the price and reserve are out of this world. It is true that most of the used school bus fleet winds up in Mexico, Central and South America and I have sold enough of them to know that most of the buyers are very sharp people. They know what and how to buy these old vehicles and they will not be taking these junkers home unless they get them for nothing. And I don't know, and only experts in this field could even make a guess as to the drivability of these submerged junkers. Vents on the engine, transmission and differentials certainly have let in enough water and silt to ruin any machine. The seats and dash will certainly give evidence as to the depth of water they sat in. But I have seen these old busses in Panama, Mexico and Ecuador. In Panama in 1987 they were still using many Fords and Chibbies from the late 40's. In 97 I was in Ecuador and I didn't see as many busses, but there are some. But shipping gets much more expensive to get them south of the Panama canal.
