I am looking at a 404 Mog. For use in my HVAC/R service buisness, a radio box or ambulance type.
Anyone know what the insurance will cost to put one on the road?
I called my Insurace Co. to get a quote and they had no idea what I was talking about!
They also wanted the GVW of one, anyone know?
Also has anyone ever dealt with Mecardia in NV. They have alot of 404's for sale.


Thanks
Weight wise you are just under the need for commercial liscence. 10,000 lb or there abouts.

Mercardia (Bart and Daisy) are STAND UP folk. New to the US and eager to sell. He has direct contacts on the other side of the pond where Mogs usta grow on trees. He just moved here... from there. Tell him Coach George sent tya.

Dont insure it as a Unimog. Insure it as an MB truck. Say it is model UNIMOG 404xxx or some such verbiage. Saves ya shiat loads of hassle.

Remember... Dont send ur flunky's out driving it if they will drive it at 55mph or higher from job to job. They will eat the tranny alive. It is NOT a highway friendly rig.

BE WARNED- More than one person/business has come up with the same idea as you. They get it and year later they sell it, usually at a loss. Now a 416 or newer... thats plausable.
