Then again...
My M35A2, from auction to running tagged and insured, All costs $1305.00.
Now understand, I could not have done it without this list and especially
RAM, David Doyle and Joe Young.
But it is doable.
BTW auction bid was $511.00, the other better truck (better) truck went for
less.

.....Then factor in the composite lights, headlights, right side mirror
head, lifting shackles, bumperette repair, a few tires, probably some
batteries, and the general curiosity of why they pulled the air cleaner
bottom, all of the lights, light switch, etc.... I think that all ads up to
one heck of a bargain!!
Let's do some math:
$5900 + 10% buyers premium = $6490 + 5% sales tax (avg) = $6814.50 + $75 for
lights = $6889.5 + $80 (only 2 tires) = $6969.50 + $150 for batteries
(minimum) = $7119.50 + $15 for mirror = $7134.50. Oh yeah, are we driving it
out, or shipping it? At this price, we better just drive it out, or tow it
out ourselves. Hmmm, I wonder if the brakes are good? What about the clutch?
Transmission? Transfer case? Engine? Electrical system?
Plus, if they have not fixed the double tax problem, you've got another
$300-$400 in that. Granted, the cargo cover appears to be decent, and adds
some value, but not more than about $500. Why didn't we just go to a dealer
and get something (for less) that we could drive around first? Ahhhh,
Yes.... The excitement of that live auction.....
