Armored Vehicle Pricing?

[Rich219]

What are some of the cheaper (I use the term very lightly!) armored vehicles on the market and how hard are they to locate? I would be very interested in getting an armored vehicle as a advertising tool for my company. Any info?

Totally depends on what you want. A tank that runs could be from $60,000 up. An APC that doesn't have a motor and barely holds itself up may be $7,000 and up (less if it's in a field.) It's hard to say, check the classifieds here.

I know this one turns heads We had the roll back wrecker stop at a quick trip gas station to top it off, and there were lots of cameras working overtime.

Ferrets that need work exist for 5-10k USD.

I've been saving up for 4 years now for my AFV.

It takes a long time.

All things considered, a Ferret is very hard to beat. Price, fun, parts, size, etc.

How hard is it to find a Ferret? Are they legal to drive on the road?

 

[Stalwart]

Ferrets are EASY to find and legal in most states. The most affordable armor there is, when you also consider the cost of feeding one.

 

[Rich219]

Really! Where is the best places to look for them?

How hard are they to work on?

It would be an awesome company vehicle!

A Ferret parked outside the Guards museum at Buckingham Palace.
Another in a mall parking lot in West Springfield, Ma (poster on far side).

Military Vehicle Sales and Appraisal Service and Ebay often list Ferrets

....Armor-up...!!!

Ferret's are excellent for first-time buyers. Has a short learning curve,easy to drive and road-legal in most states. If the Rolls-Royce engine runs and the vehicle is driveable...$12-$17K...depending on how it is outfitted. Mine is up-graded and last re-build was 1984...has a turret with Browning 1919A4 mount built in,newer tires and has all original "Dreadnaught" markings...straight from N. Ireland. The only problem with Ferret's is the cramped space. If you are over 200# and 6'...there will be problems getting in and out....especially over 60...LOL. That's why I up-graded to the Brit FV432 APC...lots more room and has TRACKS...!!! I'm looking to trade or sell my Ferret,as I cannot easily operate it in my old age....LOL.

Matt at The Supply Depot in Bedford, Indiana said he has a nice ferret for 17,500. Also some project ferrets for less.

I was turned off to the ferret by the complexity of the design and parts, hence why I'm looking at a design that's got mostly US based parts in it, like a Mowag or RBY, or the ability to be converted (BRDM).
