Would you buy this?

Saw this description of an RV up for auction.

Begin copy-
Exterior trim is bubbling. Roof is water damaged. Cracking in the fiberglass in various places. Awning is ripped. Wallpaper is peeling in various places. Floor has soft spots. Cabinets have water damage. Engine had issues shifting, over heating, and pulling one way when driving and the other when braking, these issues seemed to work themselves out once driven a bit. There is a string attached to gas pedal due to the fact that the return function on the pedal does not work and you have to pull the string to disengage the gas. AC on dash and on roof top does not work. Brake calipers are sticky. Engine seems to run fine transmission may have issue, due to issues that were present at first. Before you can move the unit it has to sit in gear and warm up before it will engage and move.-End copy

Wow! Get my checkbook!!!!!

BTW, the current bid on it is $25. No reserve
Class A

    Why would anyone want it for free, even, when you could find a pretty nice one that's ready to go for less than what it would take to fix it up?
    I guess there's the down and out who might want to park it somewhere for living quarters and do nothing to it, but for that, there's broken down TT's available as well.

    Considering towing would cost more than the fridge is worth, if that even works, I would pass.
