    Looking for a stripped MKT in Western USA

    Really? I had not noticed the price of aluminum. Well, that explains the price jump. And $1k for an empty is a bit more than I can afford.

    Looking for a stripped MKT in Western USA

    I saw several in CA last month go for almost $4k. And they were missing tons of stuff. These days, the prices are rising for what ever reason. The ones at Ft Meade won't go up for auction until next week. And there are several choices, from a 'flat bed' type of trailer to a full empty MKT...

    Looking for a stripped MKT in Western USA

    LA is closer than Maryland. I watched a couple go in CA for major bucks. Plus, I've got a friend that could pick it up and drag it to Texas for me. Then I could meet up with him... you know how that goes. So, if you've got the contact info, I'd love to give it a shot. thx

    Looking for a stripped MKT in Western USA

    I've been looking for an EMPTY MKT. As I don't want it to have anything in it, I guess the model does not matter. I just want the empty shell. I have an odd idea I would like to try. I have not seen anyone else try this idea, so I'll keep it to myself until I find one. IF it works, I'll...
