580k for sale, no brakes

Local town has a 2wd extend a hoe 580K for bid at 3500 hours. Has a cab too, doesn't look really beat on. The mayor said it needs brakes, but a city employee told me he thinks it just a brake line. Its a closed bid that starts at 3k, and I'll add a picture later on. I was thinking of offering 5k. What do you think? I was wanting a project.
