At an auction you seldom have any idea of the history, you can't generally test drive. All used vehicle purchases are caveat emptor, but an auction - & the prices obtained - are in a class of their own. Most vehicles in dealer's auctions are placed there by other dealers who don't want to deal with the vehicle on their lot - i.e. they don't want to stand behind it & usually couldn't unload it on another dealer, so they send it to the auction as a last resort. Auction prices have no relevance here. Frank. 91 Westy 95 Winnie -----Original Message-----
