It is up to the buyer to do their due diligence prior to purchasing this Scout. It will not take much work to make it a daily driver again, however, I would not recommend the buyer drive the vehicle home in its current condition. It is up to the buyer to pick up the Scout which is located in Reno, Nevada. The seller will not deliver.
Buyer must arrange for pick up within two weeks of winning the auction.
On Aug-25-16 at 15:39:33 PDT, seller added the following information:I have had a number of questions regarding the mileage shown on the speedometer/odometer. As far as the speedometer/odometer goes, I have not done any research to say for certain that the speedometer/odometer is not original, but I also am not claiming it's the original. I did not change it out personally, but please remember it was 16 years old when I got it. My father-in-law had only owned it about 6 months when I bought it from him. I am not confident at all that the odometer's listing is actual mileage. Even my title shows "EXEMPT" on the odometer reading, so I am not making any claims that the shown mileage is original. I am also not making any claims that ANY of the parts are original, etc. I can only speak for the work that I have done to it. Thanks.
