    Gl put my purchase in the abandonment section

    If Im not mistaken if they classify the lot as abandoned there is no default and no refund either. I dont know how the lot is determined to be abandoned unless the OP sent in a release as is common to have someone pick it up.

    Qestioned GL as to source of their info.

    I have bought many trucks with the turn in sheet in the truck and some things listed were in the description when it was lotted. I was contemplating tossing in a bid on the truck in question knowing it will be a haul away and expecting to possibly to have to tear the engine down.

    Who has ordered from LMC

    LMC has high shipping rates they go by how much you spend to calculate shipping I usually go to brothers or grumpys truck parts instead. I never had a problem with LMCs products just their shipping rates but they might have changed their shipping policy since I bought from them years ago.
