An '90 Iveco COE diesel was auctioned at the local police impound yard. Are Iveco motors
generally OK? Other than a visual walk through there is no advance means to
verify a vehicle's working condition prior
to making a bid.
Most police auction vehicles go cheap, some
are obviously totalled, others are clean in appearance and taken in drug arrests and so forth, others simply abandoned - the stated
reason is listed on a ledger. Generally
the vehicles having owners in prison are in
the best cosmetic shape.
The Iveco truck looked every bit of its fifteen years.
