GP listing says sf97 now available for hmmwv

[Suprman]

Their website clearly states they will now issue a sf97 with the purchase of a hmmwv.

Where does it state this

 

[TucsonVTXF]

April fools!!!

 

[Blackmagic94]

Nope it states they are obtainable now. Still doesn't change that Az, Ca and many other states will tell you to pack sand on getting a title. You still are buying an off road only vehicle.

Cant find what that little asterisk means though. As far as I can find all the auctions still say no title will be issued. There are going to be a ton of pissed people....

 

[TucsonVTXF]

not worried about AZ or CA!

Sf-97 doesn't mean steetable !!!
Ive bought plenty of gsa trucks that came with sf-97's
that clearly stated "not to be titled for on road use"

I personally think every single vehicle & trailer should come with a sf-97.
SF-97 = government title which shows "ownership" not registration = on road driveability.

 

[Suprman]

Cant sell to the masses if they can't reg and drive it.

Game changer right there

 

[fuzzytoaster]

I'm going to hedge my bet and say titled for off road use only. It's a step in the right directions but still no game changer.

Speaking of SF97, how do you obtain a SF97 from GSA? I need to get the SF97 for the 2 trailers we got last month.

They should send it to you automatically in the mail as long as the auction said a title would be provided. I've had some issues with generator trailers being inventoried in their system as "generator with trailer" so their system didn't flag it for an sf-97. Had to call in the old fashion way but they got it to me free of charge.

 

[jake-cutter]

Wonder if they will give sf97 to those that have already bought one and are waiting for the euc to clear?

Once again. Until it comes from the government that HMMWVs can be titled for street use all the BS from any marketing or sales company is just that, BS.

There will be no discussion on how to title your new GP purchase for street use.

Now will it come to pass that you can title your new purchase? I sure hope so but I am not holding my breath.

Here is a snippit straight from GPs website.

http://blog.ironplanet.com/how-to-buy-a-demilitarized-humvee-online-and-what-to-expect

If you’re jonesing to bring home a big, bold, beautiful military Humvee to join your family of vehicles, GovPlanet is the place to go for your purchase. Beginning in December of 2014, IronPlanet has made it easy to find, compare and bid on government surplus Humvees from the Defense Logistics Agency.
GovPlanet has weekly auctions, and there’s a particularly big Humvee sale coming up on June 24. Here’s what to expect when you begin your journey to ownership of a government surplus Humvee through GovPlanet:

• Explore available vehicles on GovPlanet.com. You’ll be able to see photos, starting bids, guaranteed inspection reports giving you detailed information on each vehicle, and more. We have a Watch List tool as well as a Saved Searches feature; use both to manage your search and flag vehicles you’re interested in. Some items have Priority Bid functionality, so even before a GovPlanet auction day, you may be able to place a bid and get a head start on other buyers.
• These Humvees are for off-road use only. That means you won’t be able to legally drive them on streets or highways. When you make your purchase, you’ll need to arrange for transportation from the seller’s site to your home or storage site. (We make that easy through ourpartnership with VeriTread.) You’ll also need to sign a release form (a Hold Harmless Agreement) to clear IronPlanet of any liability, and go through an end-user certification process with the U.S. government.
• Starting bids are usually between $5,000 and $8,000. At the first auction, vehicles had an average final sales price of about $30,000. We recommend getting any financing arrangements set up before auction day (we have three preferred partners who can take care of this for you—more info here).
• Buying from outside the country? Due to government restrictions, you’ll need to work with a U.S. citizen to purchase these vehicles. You may also need to set your GovPlanet.com location to inside the U.S. to even see restricted vehicles for sale.

As far as I can tell no one has said a thing about street use yet we are curious what the SF97 means for that truck.

 

[Brian Dumais]

I just called them and they said they could send the form sf97 to florida and get you a title for you. Brian
