What about spare parts - would this be a problem?

The dealer say’s:
"Small-town use his ideal. I have the complete owners and service manuals in electronic format. It uses a Curtis Controller, Delta Q Charger, Fall River batteries, etc. The majority of the braking his regenerative, so the friction breaks get very little use. The rolling chassis was brought in from China but the electronic conversion was done in the USA. Well it has a heater and AC I rarely use either. "

He told me he paid $2000 for it and this has been two years ago. And I don’t remember the year of it

It’s ok with me to keep it here.
Kind of the information I’m looking for.
The seller just told me he has a 2009 wagon without batteries that he may throw in.
I don’t know if all the 2009s were ac. If it is I want it. Lots of good parts. I’d be set for life.
I always fall in love and pay to much. That’s why I didn’t answer the “price” thread.
