What a change. I got a my M1165A1 in February for $26k and it was in prime shape other than the tires. Perfect interior, all pieces there, doors on the side, everything worked. And the price difference for a REV truck is well worth the extra $$$. I haven't seen anything like that at...

One seems to have about fallen into my lap, an M1161 for sale locally. It seems to be in OK shape, I have to verify the year and give it of course a thorough inspection. The seller is asking a lot, comparatively, as he wants to make back his auction cost and something on top of that.
