4W&OR bought their truck at Vandenberg, about 50 miles from me. The going
rate on the couple of auctions I've followed was $900-1200. This for a CUCV
in obviously rough and otherwise unknown condition. I guess you could narrow
the field if you had time to pre-inspect the lots, but that was too much $$
for me to take a flyer on.

A buddy joined me at a DOT auction and paid $2600 for an ex-mil
blazer. That's a big markup for a paint job and a swirly light on
the roof. That's where emotion'll get you! Bid without it.
