Guys:
The papers that came with mine said the Gov bought it for a lot more that $60K. GL on the other hand, paid $104.00 for it. You DO have to inspect the items before ya bid, and if possible, while the bidding is going on, as the vehicles sometimes mysteriously lose parts, or things change.
Mine was supposedly a runner when I 1st bid on it, but had to wait 45 days before I could pick it up. Some of the other trucks there lost complete brake lines and other parts. Mine turned into a convertible.
I saw a junker (no engine or trans and was rustier than me) got for $3K. Mine was supposed to have a winch, but didn't when I got it. It also didn't start. It needed new batteries, and fluids added, but I drove it 1400 miles home. Only one problem with a sticking fuel gauge. I was told by others that it's a better example of what GL is now selling, and that I lucked out. BE CAREFUL!
Later
