[jayjetseck]

what would i expect to pay for a descent wrecker ??? multifueland so on??

Not sure, but they only seem to go up. $8000 maybe?

$6,000-15,000 on GL.

Keep in mind.....if you buy a rolling pile of rust, you will spend a LOT more than the purchase price just to get it on the road!

I scored my M816 for $7950 out of Camp Beauregard in mid 2008. I had it towed to my place. It needed replacement fuel hoses for the selector valve and, of course, batteries. It was complete otherwise, and everything else seems to work (so far). Granted, I've only driven it around my property (haven't got it out of 4th gear yet), but I've made several heavy lifts with the crane. Time will tell, but it appears I may have been lucky on this purchase.

I got lucky ( I think!) - got mine for $7000 then add the premium, tax, transportation costs etc...

I did not drive mine off of base but if I had been a little more knowledgeable and closer, I might have tried to drive it home. All it needed were a couple of fittings and batteries.
