Any advice on what would be most advantageous allocation of purchase price to the buyer in an asset purchase? I'm primarily concerned about tax treatment, but if there are other considerations that should be on my radar, I'd love to hear. The business I'm looking at is a manufacturing business, with equipment, vehicles, and inventory. Thanks in advance.

From a seller's perspective, allocating purchase price to certain asset classes may generate sensitivity if the particular asset class (e.g., collectibles) has a higher tax rate. I haven't seen many knock down, drag out fights over purchase price allocation, however.
