Greetings from WV.
Hey guys, new here obviously. I came to maybe pick your guys' brains as you guy most certainly have a vast collective knowledge of military Vehicles. Im in the WV Army National Guard, and since joining have fallen in love with military vehicles. I've been looking for an good m35 for about a year now to use around the farm and for airsoft games, (I'm long time airsoft enthusiast, and having a 2 1/2 would improve the accessibility of my field as well as improve the experience of the games). I've just kinda been scoping out Ebay motors and Government liquidation to see what kinda money these go for, and Some seem to be dirt cheap, even in working order, while others can go for 15000+. I was put of by government liquidation because the vast distances of travel involved, and the lack of description on most suitable vehicles. I recently found and M35 for sale by a local gas well company (and my neighbors). This appeals to me because of the close location (just 10 minutes from my house) and the fact our families know each other well. I asked about it today and was told i was welcome to go check it out. The truck runs, though unfortunately it hadn't run in a while so we had to start it with ether (I know at the unit we're absolutely not allowed to do that unless its the only way) The engine is clean as a whistle, tires look good. Its a manual transmission, and doesn't seem to have a turbo. Other than the ether thing there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it other than a possible class 1 leak on the transmission. Not sure if its an A1, 2, 3, or what have you. (the plate on the inside was faded) 40,000 miles and 248 hour on it. The ruck does not currently have the benches or top on it, and I'm not sure if the owner has them. The guy is asking 4500 for it. Everyone i talk to (including myself) thinks this is a BIT high, though I figured I would take my question to people who really know what they're doing. So is this a reasonable price for this truck? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
