Found an interesting listing on govdeals.com today. It's a **2006 Spartan / Alexis fire engine** that has me intrigued. Here's what I've gathered so far:
### Current Details:

- **Auction Ends:** In 9 days, 3 hours (as of May 21, 2024, 03:08 PM CDT)

This fire engine is being sold "as-is" and is being described as follows:
### Vehicle Specifications:

### Known History:
The truck was acquired from a township that was absorbed into their current village. It was previously used in active service but is now being sold as-is. While it’s been described as functional based on initial checks, the full operational status of all features remains uncertain.
It’s important to note that the truck will come with only a bill of sale (no title), and there is no reserve price—so the final bid could be quite low! The odometer reads 46,596 miles with 4,447 hours of use.
### Additional Notes:
- The vehicle includes everything shown in the photos. However, the working condition of every component cannot be guaranteed.
- The truck is said to have been in reserve at a working station before being taken over by its current owner.
- It’s also stated that the truck can be driven off the premises immediately after purchase.

This auction seems like a steal if the truck checks out mechanically. If you're into classic fire engines or need something for restoration, definitely consider bidding!
