Honor guards, funeral details, parades and trips to the VA all need dependable transportation, and many posts are running on an aging van or members’ cars. Best Buses For Sale is a family-run dealer in Huntington, New York, and we sell reconditioned shuttle and wheelchair buses to veterans organizations, delivered on our own flatbed trailers.
What Posts Look for in a Bus
- Seats for the whole detail: 14 to 28 passengers covers most honor guards and color guards with room for gear and flags.
- A wheelchair lift: lets older and disabled members ride along to ceremonies, reunions and medical appointments.
- No CDL if you can avoid it: under federal rules, a bus designed for 15 or fewer people, including the driver, and under 26,001 lb doesn’t need a CDL, so more of your members can drive it.
- A bus that just runs: Manny drives every bus and fixes what he finds before it is sold, so your post isn’t paying for someone else’s deferred repairs.
Planning the Purchase
- Budget: as of November 2026, our reconditioned buses run from about $22,000 to $77,000 depending on size, year and wheelchair equipment. Older and smaller buses cost less.
- Fundraising: tell us your timeline. We can share photos, videos and specs for your campaign page or a donor meeting.
- Sales tax: exemptions for veterans organizations vary by state. Check with your state tax office.
- Insurance: line it up before delivery. See Bus Insurance.
