Hey all…I’ve been wanting to pick up a hmmwv for quite a while now for the nostalgia of having something I sat in over in Iraq for a chunk of my life. I’ve shy’d away from the auctions as buying something without seeing it first seemed a bit risky to me.
I found one for sale a few hundred miles away that I’m going to pick up in a couple weeks and I was hoping to get some thoughts on whether it’s a good deal or not. Here’s some details:
2009 M1123 USMC
6.5L
Transmission w/OD and park
Only 18 miles since IROAN
Already titled and registered so that should be quick and easy to transfer
The only thing reported wrong with it is some injector lines leaking
2 door version with troop carrier cover included
Body and chassis looks really good
Paying $10K
Looking at govPlanet, similar rigs are going for an average of about 10-12K (before any tax/fees/etc), but all in a bit rougher shape and with that unknown factor of buying without actually seeing it in person first…not to mention the hassle of having to deal with getting it titled.
I feel like it’s a pretty good deal…any thoughts?
