The truck my friend purchased looked to be in good overall condition. The original plan was to bring the whole thing back home. That didn't work out. (Trucking issues, sizes, weights, etc.)
We did bring back the batteries and are deciding what exactly to do with the rest of the truck. (Pay somebody to ship it, return with a different trailer, etc.)
You have to be VERY careful with some of these auctions. I believe the Oregon trucks are missing the motors and controllers, but the Copart description doesn't say that. Some of the other trucks we looked at had the driveshaft removed. None of them had working 12V batteries for testing.
If anyone lives near any of those trucks and can go check them out in person please do. I wouldn't dream of buying one without looking at it myself first.
For anyone looking at the buy it now pricing, please keep in mind there's a buyers fee and a brokers fee on top of that. Plus, you have to pay a tow truck driver to get it out of the yard. The price gets steep fast. I'm glad I wasn't footing the bill.
