Here is my latest post about the M998 1992..
Hello from Denver Colorado .. So Here in Denver I am trying to work through the headache after waiting 7 months and spending $10,5000. on the M998 plus %10 fee $1050.00 to GovPlanet and $50. transaction fee. puts that at $11,600. and State sales tax $336.40 and County tax at $127.60 and City sales tax $423.40 for the grand Total of $12,487.40 now add shipping from Hill AFB Utah $1075.00 so far spent $13,562.40.
So I went to the local DMV office (Arapahoe County) Denver suburb.
[FONT="]I was told to get a VIN verification first after spending almost 2 hours in line and sitting at the window for 40 minutes as the officials where trying to get that bewildered look at the SF 97 form, not knowing the "M998 was a Hummer truck". I have the M998 sitting at a local garage that will change the fluids and check it out which will be more money spent, (btw I am not rich just maintenance mechanic that works making $25. dollars per hour, I have sold may Kaiser M715 that I have had for the last 20 years sold for $8,000. and had to save the rest..) Expensive so far it is .. I will have to go back to the DMV to get some temp plates and truck insurance tomorrow. I see here is the problem is that at the top of the "Certificate to Obtain Title to a Vehicle" it is stamped in RED letters as "OFF-ROAD USE ONLY" and that threw them for a loop.. The M998 is a 1993 Mfg. by AM General with 21000 miles and ex-USAF M998 truck. I plan to take photos of the M998 and get all the documents which are needed as I will list them in order. 1. SF97 which is a long number as it is a designated Certificate Number. and 2. is the Notary paper that was sent by GovPlanet to me with the SF97 by FedEx after 7 months of waiting to get the EUC from them (and I am ex USAF with a good DD-214) and living at the same address for 30 years here in Denver Colorado). 3. M998 insurance proof. 4. Photos of the M998. 5. VIN number verification from State Police or a private company for a greater fee as it costs $20. from the State of Colorado. So if you add up the years the M998 is 23 years old M998 and I think it's "Insane to have spent $13,562.40. so far on such and old vehicle" now it need's a doors and a top and paint job and other things so the reality is this is NOT going to be cheep ownership.. So long for now I will post and here is a email "geoexpl@yahoo.com" Al.. [/FONT]
