HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

[3dAngus]

Possibly a more believable scenario is, when the Federal government realizes that someone bought one, circumvented local DMV laws, and either gets hurt and sues the government & the manufacturer or, performs a major crime utilizing one, then they may say "whoah", we messed up and must take them all back from the public.

That is how I expect it to go.

It's easier(not necessarily effective though) to eliminate the vehicle, than it is to regulate and control it. Think about weapons...

I can see NY coming up with a new law, the Humvee Safe Act. Only ok to own it if we remove 6 cylinders? And possibly also, must paint the front end fluorescent orange.

ON the other hand, maybe they realized, it is easier to stop a HMMWV in the commission of a crime, than it is to stop a 5 ton.

Thus the HMMWV sale...

And we're drifting off topic again.....

We need an emoticon for that!

The thread title pretty much says all we currently know.

What more is there on topic?

Oh look, ah laser!

Verified.

Still awfully risky with that hold harmless agreement and no title. All though there are states that will issue a title so long as you have a bill of sale and the physical vehicle with a SN.

If you are a gov agency like pd or fd you would be issued the correct paperwork for regustration and it would be considered roadworthy.

I'm willing to bet the Bill of Sale will clearly state "Off-Road Use Only , Do Not Title."

I was looking over the auction site and noticed something odd with the date and time. Can someone help explain this? so, the auction is only going to be live for 5 minutes?

 

[Warthog]

Nothing odd about it. Just like a live auction. That is how it works. You can prebid, but the actual auction is only 5 minutes. If there is a last minute bump the auction will extend a couple of minutes.

Any predictions on how much they'll going for?

 

[patracy]

It's been mentioned a few times in the thread already. But I predict $20-30K each. We certainly know they're going to me more than $10K from what some mentioned they've bid already in the blind bid. (And been outbid)

I predict the average will go for $17,246.26 plus fees/taxes

I saw the bickering, so I went ahead and just asked to get an answer.

If there was no euc requirements I think you would see a lot of overseas bidding. Especially since IP/GP has a worldwide audience. I think the no title offroad only requirement will hurt the sales in the US. I would bet the bidding does go high but overseas buyers will be declined on the EUC process and over time prices will come down. You will have certain dealers buying them up for export if the prices are right so that might set a floor. Just like with the M939 trucks though, when the market gets flooded prices come down.

Sweet, I'm going to apply for a loan. . . .

This thread is not The Price Is Right.

I predict that they will sell for what they sell for.

Please stay on topic.
