Maybe so, maybe not. It depends on how much is invested. It's not at  
all difficult to spend a LOT more than that to fully restore a vintage  
bus, in which case the $25K number is not gonna make you happy at all.

There are LOTS of vintage buses listed for sale on Thesamba.com that  
are way up there in the stratosphere of GoWesty price territory.  $25K  
as a settlement in that case is not gonna please an owner.
