BRDM2 cost shipped to the US?

Curious..I have been saving money for about 3 years waiting for a deal to happen. Perhaps some importer brought a few over and needs to liquidate them?

Depends upon many factors. Where is it located, and what is the port of destination? Does it run? Are you using a RORO?

Sent earl an email, hopefully he can!

I've got a budget of around 15k, max, USD right now.

Earl isn't known for having the best prices but I've found him to be honest. I spoke with him almost 10 years ago when his Corporation and myself sued ATF.

Unfortunately you are right on the prices, perhaps with the economy as such he will be willing to move some stuff at a discount. Who knows.

If you want to save money, why on earth would you hire someone to do what you can do yourself? I've imported 12 armor vehicles. It's not rocket science.

What is the basic process? Do you just get a customs broker and they take care of all of it?

 

[B3.3T]

Very simple.
1. File an ATF Form 6 on the vehicle you wish to import. It's free and seldom any problem.
2. Upon approval- usually 90 days- the vehicle can be shipped. The seller must have export approval at his end. In the UK, it is just a technicality. Have the seller be certain the vehicle is clean of any mud. Actual shipping time is about two weeks.
3. Upon arrival at US port, a Customs Broker of your choice handles the filing, using your approved Form 6. Once cleared, you're good to go.

Over the past ten years, importing any weapons has changed to the point of "Can't do it" In other words, no longer can a deactivated cannon be imported no matter how much is deactivated. In the past ten years it has gone from deactivated with a cut breech, to no breech at all with a drilled barrel, to now with no breech and no barrel. So make sue the seller does no include ANY part of a weapon except the mount, no smoke dischargers, and no dummy rounds either.

B3.3T thats awesome info but armor is still a dream for the time being! SSSHHHHH!

B33T,

some questions of mine I came up with while mulling decisions.

who is the customs broker, how much do they cost?

Port fees amount to?

Ever hear of Duncan Nicholson of tanksforsale.co.uk?

On the ATF forms it says "not to be used by military personnel". Why is that? I'm reserve Marine Corps. Hopefully it's not a disqualifier.

Vehicle can move under it's own power. Shipping is 3000$ usd.

If you're not afraid of repainting it by yourself, you should be able to buy one in Central Europe in very good mechanical condition for 7, maybe 8k USD. But then you would have to repaint him by yourself. And it's a real pain in the ass to do the inside. I have no idea about the shipping costs.
For example: P.W. Motodemont- BRDM-2 - price for them is ~5500 USD, but they have not been in use for few years now.

The price for BRDM depends on the level of storage (in the USSR was 5 levels of storage: 1,2,3,4,5). Repaint the car is not difficult. Harder it will be - if the engine or water cannon is broken, if the tires need a new ... There are still moments ....
Delivery to any large port costs $ 4000-6000 (depending on the time of delivery)
