Flxible Bus Assessment Form

The following information will be immensely valuable to prospective purchasers of any bus advertised in the Adopt-A-Flx section, whether running or not. To complete this Preliminary Condition Report, please save to a file in your computer's Desktop, then fill it out using your TEXT editor, such as Windows Notepad.

To do this, Click Start-Run, fill in "notepad," (no quote marks), and up she comes. Click File-Open, go to Desktop if not already there, click the file, and fill in the blanks. Delete the ___ lines where superfluous. Then email this file to the web team. If you can possibly shoot a few digital pictures (lowest quality setting, please - makes for best filesize), they would be extremely helpful. They should be uploaded to the flxowners photo area - use the folder called "rescue-pix." If you can, please make a folder using your name for a title, and unload the pix into this folder. (You'll have to join yahoogroups and flxowners to do this.)

It is understood that reporters will in no way be held accountable for any claims as to actual condition, and that they are merely reporting condition to the best of their ability to make an honest assessment. Final assessment of condition will of course remain the responsibility of the ultimate purchaser.

If you have any suggestions to make to improve this form, please email the web team. Thank you.
