    Minto seem to only have incomplete vehicles this month.

    Including an RFSV labelled as "Cargo", which it clearly is not.

    DBT had created a new thread, which I pointed him to, and subsequently the mods have merged the threads together.

    Yep, funny.

    Do the log books state why they became wrecks?
    Hate to get a wreck only to find motor or GB or both dead. The rest is all fixable.
    I know that's the chance you take but I'm all about minimising risk.
    Hoping to get something this time around~~!

    It's strange how we have different perceptions - to me the engine and gb are a minimal fix when compared to body & electrics - all hard work & time consuming. Isuzu dealers are advertising complete engine rebuild kits for about $1200. As far as wrecks go, I'd be trying to get one that was good in the chassis/body.

    Indeed. Many of these vehicles are not "wrecks", but simply incomplete, and not operating. Some have been disassembled for Quarantine cleaning and not put back together, some have been cannabalised for parts that may have been unavailable or took too long to arrive on back order. Some will, inevitably be accident damaged or rust affected that they will never again be capable of getting back on the road (but might be OK for a farm or boat ramp!).
