Price is right, bring the cash and a trailer with you, if that 3600 has not been baked by the fire, it's possible or very likely to be a good deal. If he is set on scrapping it if not sold, the first hint of a srapper being involved tells me to have cash in hand and a trailer ready with something like this, you never know.
