Colonial – Purchasing a Motorcoach – Informational Blog week of 2012.2.14

Not only because of the investment made in a motorcoach but the decisions that need to be made for options and how best to keep your coach on the road once it is purchased.

Because motorcoaches are used for longer trips or for VIP’s a main focus will be on the options that will provide the most comfort for your passengers. These options could include seating, entertainment systems, Wi-Fi and whether you will need a lavatory. Some common questions asked when purchasing a coach are:

1. Where do I get warranty work done?
2. What gas mileage does this coach average?
3. Can I get a bigger fuel tank?
4. Where do I get parts?
5. Who is the manufacturer of the engine and what is the horsepower?
6. What transmission is in this bus?
7. Can I get different seats?
8. Can we get 3 point seat belts?
9. What is the luggage capacity?
10. How long does it take to get one if I order today?

When purchasing a new motorcoach you will want to contact an authorized dealer. They will not only have coaches in stock for you to view but, they should also be an authorized service center. An authorized service center will be able to perform maintenance as well as take care of repairs. If your coach will be making trips out of your area you should also consider whether there is a network of authorized service centers and how service or repairs are handled when not using your purchasing dealer.

Your local authorized dealer will also be able to also assist you with financing for your new motorcoach.
