M35A3's getting cheaper?

[todds112]

Seems like the "retail" price is starting to drop a bit. See more and more on GL.

How low can they go? Hopefully they get down closer to the M35A2 range. 4 digits price would be nice.

The auto tranny and upgraded brakes would be nice.

More and more being releaed,hopefully the prices drop.

They have come down a bit but I don't think they will ever drop to the level of an A2. The volume is not there and for some reason people like the butt ugly thing .

They've been below 10k for some time on GL. I've even seen a few around 5K.

I have seen a few stay low. However, for the most part, you are going to spend about $8-9K before you are allowed to take your prize off of GL property and sometimes will still spend $10K+ (the prices that M16ty quotes do not factor in tax and the 10% bidder's fee). Now, add trucking and whatever else the truck needs when you get it home (e.g., battery, cab top, alternator, gauge(s), etc). Also, figure in the normal risks with bidding. One point on parts for these trucks...if you need an A3 specific part, plan on spending a lot of coin on it. Try to find parts and see what happens. A guy on this list got a truck with a bad motor and another guy got one with a bad transmission. I would say that the retail prices are a bit low considering what you pay at auction. I bet the prices will drop a bit more, though, if I had to predict. That only makes sense, but it might not happen. More guys are after A3s than even six months ago. Guys used to hate hate them for their peculiar looks. Now, there is no shortage of bidders/buyers.
