Check condition. If it was an unassigned piece of equipment run by Tom, Dick, and
Jose, it may have been neglected and abused.
That would be my main concern. I've seen some of the equipment that the county runs being treated pretty rough by it's users. On the flip side, if it has been serviced properly, and not allowed to set out and rust, it should have some useful life left in it.
Buying equipment like that is usually a gamble.
