Humvee for Cheap

They don't ride well, but it would be a handy farm or country vehicle...

"Need a new vehicle? For the next few days, the United States Department of Defense will sell you a military Humvee for a real bargain. The surplus inventory needs to go, so they’re priced to move.

In fact, most surplus Humvees and trucks cost between $4,000-7,000 in an auction-style format. Even better? Most have extremely low mileage. As in, somewhere between 10,000-35,000 miles. A lot of them come from the 1990s."


Humvee for Cheap: Buy from the U.S. Government for Under $4K

And no one can get a title to drive one on a public road, even if the wanted one.

Plenty of states with lax titling requirements, especially for older vehicles. Or just "use the parts to rebuild a crashed Hummer H1."

If you lie to the DMV about it not being govt surplus mitilary vehicle......
lieing on a govt document -application for a title- is a felony.

Apparently it's legal, not easy per-se, but probably also depends on the state, and who handles your paperwork at the DMV, title/tag place, etc...

It Just Got A Lot Easier To Own A Surplus Military Hummer

Looks like they're now being sold with the proper paperwork to legally get a title at a state DMV.

Here in azzhadt'd land, you see old ww2 jeeps rarely ,
technically even the 3/4 ton m1009 blazers cannot be titled here, that's why you see them in salvage yards

That's curious, as I registered and sold a M1009 in Texas back in the early 2000s. All I had to have was the DOD paperwork stating it was a vehicle and not scrap.

Lots of ex-military vehicles driving around Colorado. Seeing more FMTV's. Those would be really nice on a farm I think. Relatively cheap on the auction sites.

On the site it says you have to declare how you intend to use it.
Might want to check with your BMV before bidding on one to be sure.

I don't think you did, because they don't come with titles, and you cant legally get one in this state,
Nor can you register something without first putting the title in your name.

He said he did.

You said he didn't.

I suggest squirt guns at 400 miles. Flip a coin to see who squirts first.
