What is the deal with most buses that are for sale, most have the nose smashed? Having never owned one, I don't understand why this is such a common wound for a bus.

A lot of bugs also had the spare tire mounted on the nose, at one time or another. (Not factory mounted, but a convenient place to put it, for some people)
The weight alone dented many a bus nose, not to mention pulling into a parking apace against a wall, and misjudging the distance, often due to recreational use of illegal herbs.
Not everyone got used to just how much room you had, or didn't have out there in front of the steering wheel...and of course the aforementioned herbs certainly contributed....

Yep, I forgot about that! Just one more reason. - DB
it is a big vehicle with 4 wheel drum brakes and takes a little getting used to. they definitely don't stop on a dime. when changing from the 912 to my bus I had to remember to allow for a bit more stopping distance...
