Convince me why I shouldn't blow my Christmas bonus on a $5,000 surplus HMMWV?

You can get a much better car with a lot less mileage for five grand. Also, as someone whose uncle used to own a hummer, spare parts are really really expensive.

the reason they're selling them off is that they are literal pieces of garbage that they can't even use for scrap

I'd spend $15,000 and get 2 low-mileage UAZs instead but that's just me

Because then you have to feed the HMMWV

Humwee is a vehicle that is meant to run on endless supply of governmental gas. Everybody that has even little knowledge of cars and knows this. I'd personally choose something like>>32343563 everyday due the fact that it's lesser piece of shit and doesn't drain your wallet that much.

>>32343327
If the Humvee is such a piece of trash, why do the armed forces use them so much?

breadloafs are GOAT-tier as far as slav vehicles go but two cheap UAZ jeeps is very tempting

>>32343585
it's a UAZ, there's not an abundance of things that can go wrong with it. It helps that the majority of the ones on the market right now were made in the late-80s at the earliest and spent most of their days sitting in storage.

he's saying that they're beat to shit, for the price they're going for I'd assume he's correct

All of the lots start at $5,000. The price will immediately jump to over $20,000 when the bidding opens.
>>
>>32343648
Because they're fucking everywhere. Tens of thousands of Humwees have been produced Since 80s. When you got loads of them lying around, it is better to just use them, even though they're shit.

Good thing it's being phased out slowly, but I'm sure we'll be seeing them still after 20 years from now on.

Ruskies aren't really different. They still use UAZ even though it's even older than Humwee.
>>
>>32343623
How the is that surprising? A fucking Range Rover weighs that much too.

you all seem to forget that you have to get them road legal in your state. So after you buy it, get it picked up and transported to you, see if its running, get it fixed, and then make sure it can pass all tests, you need to take it in to the DMV and register it/emissions test it.

At 5k you'll probably double that to 10k to get a gas hungry road pig thats uncomfortably big to drive anywhere.

Here's someone's process to read about:
