I am often asked why I started BusesOnline.com. The website was originally created for our bus sales company (Michaud Bus Sales, Inc.) back in 1997. I had some previous experience with websites and the internet, and knew how powerful a tool a good website could be for us. I was right...it was very successful for us and helped us sell more buses. Buses, unlike cars, are scattered all over the country and finding the right one can be tough and expensive for the buyer. Having our inventory listed on the website gave customers a very good feel for the buses before they made travel arrangements. This saved time and money for both the buyer and us the seller.

But I knew it could be more...I had a vision for the future, and this is it - the NEW www.BusesOnline.com was created in 2009 and released in 2010.  No longer a dealer, I wanted this website to help the bus owner.  I wanted it to save them money and time.  And I wanted it to be fun and informative at the same time.  I think we have succeeded.  With our classifieds, we have taken out the middle-man and made it very easy for you to deal direct – buyer & seller!  We also give you an excellent tool to help you find the resources you need through our extensive Online Services Directory.  Need help?  It’s here – www.BusesOnline.com 

The bus industry has changed so much over the years, and this website allows us, former bus dealers, to help people save time and most importantly, money!  We allow you the seller to sell your vehicle yourself and save on commission fees (we have none!) – After all…who knows your bus better than you?  We provide you with the tools to sell and bring the buyers to you.  Just take 5 minutes to create your classified ad and we do the rest…it’s that simple!

If you are the buyer, we help you find the right vehicle for your needs. By having an easy search tool, hundreds of vehicles to choose from - all with detailed photos and descriptions directly from the owners, and the opportunity to contact the seller directly, your purchase is faster, easier and more cost effective.  And you can do it any time of day, 365 days a year!

Having been a bus operator as well as a dealer, I knew the importance of Parts availability and how often people search for them.  I also knew most operators have lots of surplus parts that they would never use again – so I created a way for them to buy & sell them – and it’s FREE!!!  Our Parts Classifieds have also proven very helpful to people searching for hard to find parts that the dealers aren’t keeping in inventory any longer.  

Our Online Services Directory is a great resource to find the products and services you need and use.  We have hundreds of companies listed in over 50 categories, so you can find the right product or company fast!  Every company we have listed is in good standing and we make sure that the contact information is always current and accurate.   

So please visit www.BusesOnline.com and see how we can help you today!
