I imagine this has been covered before, but I couldn't find anything that answered my questions in my specific scenario with some searching. Perhaps my questions will help others in the future. I tried to make my title somewhat searchable for other people down the road who might have similar questions/be in a similar situation.
OK, I'm looking at an IronPlanet auction for a '91 M927A2 in decent shape. (Some surface rust, runs, cab looks like mice got in there but otherwise looks like a solid truck with good bones and lots of potential for what I'm planning on using it for. While they do a pretty good job at thoroughly documenting each truck with photos and disclosing any known, obvious issues/problems/things that don't work, I'm still wondering what kind of things may be definite deal breakers. I want to get ahold of them with a good list of questions to ask, what sort of things besides "Does it run?" would be worth asking that could be looked at?
Truck would be shipped if I won it to somewhere else, where it would be stored, then eventually driven or shipped up to Fairbanks, Alaska once deemed road-worthy and safe and made street legal, being well gone through by then mechanically. But in the meantime, what sort of things would you more experienced individuals say are deal breakers to look for when picking one of these up at auction.
I would post pictures from the auction, but is that allowed here? Just wanted to ask first.
Thanks in advance!
