We just saw the news this morning and are excited about the oportunity to own one of these great vehicles. Humvees, HMMWV, and M998’s have been in high demand for years with the US Military not selling any; Now is the time for any person wanting a Humvee to look into purchasing one!
Yahoo! Story on HMMWV, HUMVEE, and M998 Public Auction
Just an update on the DoD sale, seems some of these HMMWV’s/M998’s became rather expensive. We’ll see how the next round of auctions goes.
Found this on Wikipedia a bit ago:
In December 2014, the Department of Defense began auctioning off some 4,000 used Humvees to the public. While some have been transferred to domestic law enforcement agencies, this is the first time the military vehicles have been made available for civilian ownership. The idea is to sell them with starting bids at $10,000 each, for off-road use only, rather than simply scrapping them as a way to save money and repurpose them. M908, M908A1, M1038, and M1038A1 model Humvees are available, which are out of U.S. service and lack armor. AM General has been opposed to resale of military Humvees to the general public, primarily because surplus government vehicles would cut into sales related to the civilian Hummer model.[84] The first sales from auction occurred on 17 December 2014 for 25 of the Humvees. Bids ranged from $21,500 for a 1989 M1038 to $41,000 for a 1994 AM General M998A1. The average bid was around $30,000 and the sale of the 25 vehicles netted $744,000 total.[85] AM General works with American dealer company; Humvee Export LLC to distribute modified civilian Humvees called the Humvee C-Series across the globe.
