Yeah a simple forgot to add a zero and an "oh *&^%&" moment that once it was caught and was too late. Luckily it worked out.

They will still sell for the "real" value, determined by interested parties.

Exactly, well said. It's also nice to occasionally have the validation that the starting bid isn't set too high. I was encouraged to see that one starting at $500 sell for the same final price as others in similar condition.
For GP, it's assurance that the starting price isn't a hindrance to bidders and the auction will run smooth and quick.
For buyers, it's assurance that the starting price isn't artificially high and the market will realistically support some selling price above the starting bid.

Somebody above mentioned that DLA might stop selling humvees altogether, for two reasons:
1. Too many, if not all, folks go around the law and register them for street legal
2. The price has dropped so much, $6000/vehicle is peanut for the Goverment and less commission for GP.
Do you think they will stop selling for those reasons and may be better off scrap them!
Jwade more than anyone else know this subject well.

What's the feds take? 70ish%
That's still 1000 times more then scrap. Especially considering the price of scrap tanking.
As for the registration. That's a valid point. We shall see when someone kills themselves, or a senators kid before that even gets traction....

"1. Too many, if not all, folks go around the law and register them for street legal" What is this law you speak of?
"2. The price has dropped so much, $6000/vehicle is peanut for the Goverment and less commission for GP." 5tons sell for less and scrap value is much higher.

They specify that HMMWVs are for off road use only.

I believe that's called a policy. Not a law.

Well it is part of the contract that you sign to buy it , so it could be considered contract law. It is really a no loose for the government , you violate the contract by putting it on the road , they sieze it and sell it again . It's just a matter of time till they start tracking illegally registered HMMWV's down and reclaim them . You never really own it they just let you use it.

That will never happen. The Charlie foxtrot of how GP handled the paperwork. I don't see it ever happening. Sure we all filled out an end of use. And most people like myself put "farm work". Then again the sf97 was never in my name, and legally the truck was transferred to gp from dla. Let alone altering an official federal document....
As the Texans told the Mexicans in 1831. Come and take it.
Disclaimer. I do not recommend breaking any laws, or registering a truck against dla policy. The policy is in place to help the stupid people from not getting hurt.

Whut? Whut?
That sounds like a bunch of thugs!
M151 MUTTs were considered unsafe and illegal to drive on the
road, too But was never reclaimed. I have one, registered and driven all over town.

humvee owners beware!
Hmmwv's are still being rebuilt every day and sent back to units. Then they in turn deactivate them just as often. They will be sold for awhile unless they do a rolling stock stop on sales. Which anything is possible. You weren't around when they were selling M939 trucks 3 to 400 a week and it was a endless flow for years.
