New program to rid of non runners from govplanet.

[Mattguy]

I don't know if anyone saw this post. If anyone's looking for multiple units of Hmmvs's they are trying to wholesale the non runners from Texas and Kansas. Anyone want to split a 10 pack of non runners?

Geez 5 grand each for a non runner? I got a working one for 6000…

I'm thinking they didn't put that much time into trying to start. I guess they will send you pictures of all the units. Only good thing is no additional auction fees.

My M1008 was part of a lot of 3-5 for some $3k as the seller said back in 2012. They were cheap until they ran out, then everybody realized how valuable they were.

Funny how fast the EUC turnaround is on these......guys wait months sometimes and they say 5 business days or less?

In WA my EUC turnaround was about a day. In CA I'm told it's 30 to 60. Then again, WA auctions off maybe 10/month.

I also feel that $5k for non-runners might be high, it really depends on what's wrong and what other extras are on them.

$5000 is too high, especially older units.

Many more to come I think......
These are just m1097's. other models not in pipeline yet.
They have so many they trucked 100 to Mobile.
Euc in house interesting.

I just wrote a post about some of those 1097s that were non runners, looks like the reset on these trucks was stopped due to end of service life or the cost of repair on these exceeded the criteria for the program.

They still go through Battle Creek Michigan to get processed.

I think priority changed for $ to armored. No need for 1000's of updated soft skins plus the introduction of the new platform JLT

Now if they did the same for other trucks...

 

[Mogman]

Those trucks are no bargain, many of the ones in TX are stripped pretty good including radiators on many, I suspect they are bunching up the ones they could not get $3500 at regular auction and trying to get 5K for them.
Those trucks were junk long before they decided to sell them, not likely they are just "dumping" non armored trucks.

When I spoke to GovPlanet about why WA processes so much faster than CA, I was told they were handled differently. I am speaking from my experience. My 1097 I got in WA, and the EUC processed in about a day, I didn't even notice any lag. However, my 1114 I'm still waiting for the EUC approval in CA and GP told me it would be 30 to 60 days and they might even mean business days.

Edit: I just received notice that my SF97 for my WA purchase is being sent. It was around 55 business days.

These are DLA Army trucks, they go through a different process than the USMC Harvest trucks…it’s typical Govt BS.

 

[juanprado]

My SWAG is that these m1097's are all owned by them outright and they are the EUC holder and will transfer to new owner in order to expedite the process since so many are in the pipeline and Battle Creek would not be able to handle the bubble in volume quickly. All pure speculation on my part but that is the onle way I see they can do them in house.
