First off, please observe the rule of no specific auction details.
Second, we still are running on a lot of assumptions.
So it's pretty well known at the moment that a auction company states they will have a few HMMWV's up for auction. Many of you have tried to bring forth this info. But we here like to disperse FACT over rumor. I'm sorry if you've had a thread deleted or felt you were done wrong about this topic. Everyone remember a couple months ago when the government was going to take away our MV's with the EPA?
At this time, the auction company has several of these listed up for sale in December. There are a mixture of vehicles. And that is the problem we have at the moment.
The auction company has them listed as Demil code Q. However, I had the four NSN's I was told are being released checked at a very very large AFB here in GA by two individuals I (and many others) hold in high regard and trust. The information they found was that the M998's were set to Q as matches what the auction company lists. However the M1038 is listed in the DOD system as demil code C. Now for the rub. The M998's NSN lists as "Do not sell". And the 1038's NSN does not have any listing as to sell or not sell.
So at this point, it's still undetermined if this will truly happen. Much like we were with the EPA debacle.
However, the fact that the Demil code has change, it is somewhat earth shattering!
A few things that have been discussed and semi-confirmed:
1. Not to be titled, off road only. Wavier must be signed.
2. No uparmored variants would be sold.
3. The 1033 program vehicles are STILL under the same rules. After the departments are done with them, they have to be returned.
Update:
I was given word that a USF&PO CWO4 has stated that they will be sold. I'm awaiting more details.
I will leave this thread open for discussion. It will however be closed if someone violates the auction detail rules, divulges into argument/flaming/exc.
Edit: Reopening thread, please keep on topic of only discussing the possible sell of these. This is not a topic about insurance, titles, registration, exc.
