Based on my own personal experience, absolutely none. I have found
little correlation between the condition code and the actual
condition, except for residue trucks classified as "HX". There's no
substitute for a personal inspection. If you rely on condition codes,
or even on pictures, you're gambling. I've done that myself, and you
may choose to do so, too, but don't do it unless you're prepared to
lose! :-)
