| Depends on the said bus. Take a rusty faded bus and slam it, it will sell for more than the same bus at stock height just looking like a sad project. On the other end a stock height restored 23 window will sell more than same restored bus slammed. And allot depends on the quality of the suspension work |

Perfectly said.
Slammed/stock height buses appeal to different markets so comparisons are difficult and making a statement as to which one "generally sells for more" will get you as many different answers as there are people who respond. |

Not exactly slammed vs stock, but I would say that Original paint or an original paint respray are worth more than a current trend paint. I'm glad I was convinced to paint my dc dove blue.

| I have a really nice SC for sale right now and I sort of have the feeling that it would have sold already if it was dumped on Randars. That said, you'd never catch me doing it. |

thank you for your intelligent answer that nipped the potential for a feud in the bud. Well done. |
