All of the MC-12's were in service with Greyhound.
Greyhound prevailed upon MCI to make a better alternative for a route car. The 96A/C and 102A/C's were not working out very well for them.
Frankly I am surprised so many of the -12's have gone up for sale since the G-model has been a disaster for Greyhound.
The -12 is an updated -9 with better cooling. Some even have Series 50 or 60 power.
Like the -9, the -12 was put together with stainless steel throughout.
The -12's are going to be in as good or better condition than any of the -7's, -8's, or -9's that are out in the marketplace. And since most of the -7's, a lot of the -8's, and some of the -9's were in service with Greyhound, the miles really shouldn't be much of a concern. After all, most of those older coaches still have a lot of life left in them.
Since the -12 was an updated version of the -9, which was an updated version of the -8, which was an updated version of the -7, parts and service is readily available from MCI.
If the coach you are looking at isn't all beaten up and the power package is in decent condition the price sounds like a pretty good deal.
Good luck.
