How deep is TESCO's used inventory?
TESCO has sold and taken in trade more than 420 used Turtle Tops alone: one brand, from one dealer. Because TESCO is one of the nation's largest new-bus dealers, delivering more than 1,600 vehicles in the past twelve months, our used lot refreshes constantly with trade-ins across every major body builder: Turtle Top, Glaval, StarTrans, Starcraft, ElDorado, Braun and BraunAbility conversions, and more. The pre-owned inventory page shows everything on the lot right now, updated directly from our dealer management system.
What makes a used bus from TESCO different?
- Free AutoCheck history report on every unit. Every pre-owned listing links its full AutoCheck vehicle history, covering accidents, title brands and odometer checks, at no charge, before you ever call us. Few bus dealers publish histories at all.
- Inspected and evaluated before listing. Lift, DOT items and interior condition are checked in TESCO's own Ohio service shops before a unit goes on the lot.
- Wheelchair-accessible used units. Lift-equipped units are TESCO's largest used segment; the good ones move fast, and every accessible trade-in lands on the used wheelchair inventory page as it arrives.
Who buys used shuttle buses from TESCO?
Churches stretching a budget, senior living groups adding a second bus, hotels and parking operators standardizing a fleet, and start-up transport companies proving a route before ordering new. For most of them the math is simple: a well-maintained three-to-five-year-old shuttle delivers most of the service life at a fraction of the price. Our new vs. used guide walks through the numbers honestly, including when new is the better answer.
