"NEW" 2011 and 2012 available at auction. should we risk it?
We have an ATV business in East Africa (10 vehicles now-need to add another 4). The tax authorities here repossessed 3 vehicles from the dealership for non-payment of the import duties and sales tax (more than 50-55% of the invoice price once you get the vehicle here). The vehicles have not ever been driven and have been sitting near the Indian Ocean for 7 years. They are
2011 Sportsman XP 850
2011 Touring 850 EFI
and 2012 RZR 800.
We have a chance to buy them at auction for a fraction of the cost of importing new ones over. Should we do it or are we asking for constant repair headaches with too many spare parts to replace?
Thanks in advance!

If you can get them for a ridiculously low price,then may be worth it if you already have the same machines and can make use of the parts. If any of the 3 turn out to be a parts machine only,this can save you time and money down the road on mechanical and electrical parts. Tires are probably dry rotted,but calipers,rims,electrical parts,etc aren't cheap if you have to order them.
