Title: Argo Response "run and don't look back or maybe"
Post by: Divedigger on May 05, 2018, 09:05:19 AM

Found a 2001 Argo Response on Govdeals auction site that was a drug seizure and ran when put in lot , but from the looks of a tub full of water I was wondering if it would be a Money Pit even if it went cheap! You can go to Govdeals and look under Atv or inventory number 1524728 located in Humboldt Tenn Thanks

Personally, I would look elsewhere.  By the looks of it, you will need to replace a ton of things to get it to working shape that would end up costing more than its worth to me.  Some people are willing to dump a ton of money into something even if it doesn't allow them to break even.  Me, I would prefer to find a cheap good deal vs spending a ton of money to get something running that you could have bought for cheaper that is already running in better shape etc.  whistling

By the looks of the pictures I would pass.  If you are the type that likes projects like this and are not worried about how much $$$$$ it may take to get it back into shape then this could be something for you.  The bid is over $1,000 and without seeing it in person you are really taking a chance.  The water level in it looks high and you have to guess that everything in it will need rebuilt, repaired or replaced.  Your call but I would stay away.   popcorn
