That's how I have to look at it. These are for business and I already know what I was willing to pay for them before so saving myself $7-$10K right off the start is a win for me. Now with all the money I would spent I can actually purchase another ten trucks and use them for donor trucks. I know that many of the trucks were reset before going to DRMO and you can definitely tell which ones were at canpoint so I can pick spare/donor trucks that are pretty much in new condition.

I have access to a listing of federal surplus property in one of these United States and they are being offered to gov't agencies for $2300 ( no non profits yet)
It indicates to me what they are trying to get out of them and I suspect the flood to come.....

The DRMO / Texas Facilities Commission yards in San Antonio and DFW have a lot of them now.
Some of our members have been clamoring for one for years now, we even put in a request with the Texas Forest Service for one to no avail years back; a two door model for a light brush truck?
Some of the ones with the "hard" doors and tops have A/C units even.
Can we get them titled? I dunno, but we're gonna find out. I guess we'll have to make a trip up to see which ones have 6.5's, etc.
If so will be a good low cost chassis for a brush truck for VFD's.

The ones I saw listed are "off road" no title

Oops!
I missed the Feb.4 th auctions completely and after looking at the website, i can see prices are well down here too.
Many just breaking above the minimum bid of $10k.
If it keeps this up, they may have to lower the opening bid.

I was just at the Barstow USMC Logicistic Depot to do a recovery and took a look at the 100 M998s they had there, out of the 100 I would say 5-10 are decent and the rest are really really rough
The ****ty part was the stack of nice green gun trucks with X doors and uparmor awaiting foreign sales or the chop. Wish they would sell slantbacks to us.

For the price of one 12-14k truck you can make your own...the truck is the same as an M998

Have they made a policy choice on these vehicles yet? Yes they are for sale, no they are not (at least not in one piece). It looks like another batch of nice looking vehicles isn't going to the auction block, but to the shredder block. Why sell them for 5 or 10 grand apiece when you can get a couple thousand for a whole pile of them?

Just drove past my NG unit they have row and rows of real clean nice looking 4 door soft tops. So they have a lot more to get rid of.

NICE Score, Doc! I think that's a great deal!
The State Fed Surplus Office and Foresters (if they are participation in HMMWV) get the trucks at NO cost. So anything they are charging you is to pay for transportation and to maintain the lifestyle to which they have becomed accustomed (as govt employees). So negotiate the price/transport yourself.
