Buses for Sale in Illinois
New and used buses, vans, and shuttles delivered anywhere in Illinois, with a dedicated regional sales rep, nationwide service coverage, and in-house financing behind every vehicle.
Mainly known for Chicago's cloud-busting skyscrapers and droves of international tourists, the great state of Illinois is home to much more. It is also home to an iconic stretch of the famed Route 66 highway, Great Rivers Country, and Utica's Starved Rock State Park, one of the best places to hike in the country.
Despite being a top summer destination, Chicago is the heart and soul of Illinois. Visitors and residents can enjoy top cultural and entertainment venues, such as the Willis Tower Skydeck and the 360 Chicago observation deck at 875 North Michigan Avenue, the former John Hancock Center, with its tilting glass enclosure. For some of the best shopping opportunities, you can also head to Chicago's Magnificent Mile before catching a break in nearby Lake Michigan and its Navy Pier.
Large groups looking to travel within and around Chicago can benefit from TESCO and its status as one of the nation's leading distributors of new buses and used buses. Keep reading to learn more about TESCO and why we are one of the most respected full bus service providers in the country.

Benefits of TESCO New and Used Buses
Financing Options. TESCO offers financing and leasing opportunities. Leasing is an excellent way to enjoy lower monthly payments and purchasing power and protect against inflation. Plus, we allow for different leases, such as walk away/closed end, TRAC, and traditional bus loans, with the walk away/closed end option covering you against declining residual values.
To view a lease application and all insurance requirements, visit TESCO - Bus Leasing and Coach Leasing. One of our friendly sales representatives is also available to walk you through the process.
Walkaround Videos. TESCO doesn't just carry PDF versions of floor plans and spec sheets. We also have video walkthroughs of top-selling models, such as the StarTrans Senator II, the Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and the L.A. West Mercedes Sprinter. To view them, visit TESCO - Model Walkthrough Videos.
