Auction prices go all over the map, depends on where it is, what condition, what equipment, etc. Private party/dealer prices for good ones are $8,000-$12,000. But like all things for sale, you sometimes come accross a good deal. Post a wanted ad in classifieds, lot of SS members have such things for sale from time to time. Idahomotorpool has several without winches, soft tops, average tires, paint, etc for the $10,000 to $12,000 price range. But they come with clean titles, and you know the overall and running condition before you fork over the bucks. You get what you pay for it seems.

That seems to be the average here in NY.

I just bought one last week from GL for $3000. It says runs with jump, has winch,soft top, no heat.

It was just so much less last year.

I paid 3K and change about 6 months ago for a M818 that I drove off the base , clean , no rust , hard top , great paint . Honestly didnt need anything at all. From GL.

I paid $ 2,500 in feb Hard top, heater 210 hrs on rebuild the only down side was I had to go to chambersburg and jump start it to drive back to Massachusetts.

 

[coeder]

Are these prices with fees and tax?

Check out the one on EbayMotors as of 12-21 there is one day left. Up over $12,000 right now, described as new with winch. Sweet truck, prices are going up it seems.

The M818 tractor on EbayMotors met the reserve and was bid up to $14,551, it seems that perhaps trucks on the west coast bring more money then back east??

 

[Army Ed]

WOW,there worth the money i can tell you that.I loved having those in our fleet over sea's.It was sad bringing them to 10/20 standards to have the military auction them off

I just got a depot rebuild M52a2, I must have gotten a smokin' deal! You really have to be careful on ebay. There is so many tricks that are used, like shill bidding. There is a 818 on our classifieds for $2950.

 

[FreightTrain]

There is one or was one in the classifieds on here for under $3000.Good looking rig.I wish I had the money......and a bigger yard.

 

[dburt]

Due to the fact that there are many more auctions, auction sites and much much more inventory in the eastern half of the country then in the west, trucks back in the mid-west and eastern part of the country should sell for much less then out here in the west, due to the simple economics of supply and demand. If shipping was cheaper, it would help even things out a little bit, but it is hard to go back east to inspect a truck coming up for auction, then if you win the auction have it shipped out west and break even financially.

 

[powersmoke18]

how do you guys plate these trucks to drive them home??? and can anyone explain the Gl buying process. i've been told tons of horror storys so i'm kinda skeptical.

thanks, Bart
