Hi All,
I have been thinking about buying a Kraz 255 or similar for a while. There were a few on ebay etc about a year ago that I missed, just not daring enough with the 'bid' button....
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts, particularly if anyone on here has one?
I've not had any big vehicles like this before. I have landrovers and tractors and they are great, but I love the Russian MVs.
Dont know if I would be getting myself into a world of trouble? My main worry is buying one, it breaks down and I cant get any parts. I also dont have an endless supply of money (partly hence the attraction to russian iron as it seems to be alot of machine for your money).
Assuming no-one has put me off, the next question is where to buy one? I keep my eye on ebay and mil-web. So far nothing. I'm a bit about approaching the various people who offer to import one, alot of unknowns there it would seem.
Thanks in advance
Jim

Thanks for the replies.
I'll head over the the other forum when I get a moment. Just had a brief glance and there seems to be some interesting reading over there. Its quite re-assuring that there is a dedicated forum too.
I have seen the Ural on ebay, but I think it is too new for me to drive on a cat B car licence. Looks like a nice truck though.
dmetalmiki, I have sent you an email.
