Town in nj tried to sell 3 hmmwvs

[battlebuggy]

To try to keep the info as accurate as possible a couple of minor points;

GM didnt care in the least about the USMC sales. They did not buy the right to the Hummer name from AMG until after the auctions. AMG did object and insisted that they all be restricted to OFF ROAD ONLY papers. They continue to this day to object and it has nothing to do with losing a civy sale as some people expound. It is strictly due to liability exposure and the resulting advice of their attorneys regarding the stance they should position the company in.

AMG does not take back old Hummers/Humvees to rebuild. There is no core charge on them. The HMMWV Reman Programs in LA and ME are run by a totally independent contractor, who was the high bidder for the contract which was issued by the DOD. The operation at the old Loring AFB in Limestone Maine is run by an Independent Authority Incorporated and set up with the assistance of the State of Maine called :Maine Military Authority. It is a highly successful program to date.

I never heard of a core charge--If there was one what could it be--$500--Where do people get their info?

That agency that tried to sell the complete Humvees should have known about having to return them or trade them to another properly accredited agency after their use. They also can use them for parts and just give back the carcas of the body tub. That is the part with the serial number. Actually they could use parts of the body too and send back the unused portion which would have the ID plate.
