Tugger Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I recently saw two hummvees on the 'bay' with a best offer sale (£27000.00 or thereabouts) Hummvee fastback link Hummvee softtop link a couple of questions, Was I the only one here to spot them? as there was no refrence to them here, most of you are pretty keen on spotting stuff and I was surprised, or and this leads me on to point two... As I've seen no other refrences to hummvees are they frowned upon for some reason or is it that they don't get anyones juices flowing here ?(personally I think they look mighty fine) :oops: Finally and completely hypothetically, does that sort of price sound ok? I hed previously spotted some on milweb at £45000.00 (or similar) allbeit with all the kit, that did seem a little steep, but I suppose anything's worth what someone's prepared to pay. :dunno: I'd be intrested to hear your thoughts. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 if the Humvee is so good, why are US special forces buying Land Rovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 £25000 seems to be an average price for an average Humvee from what I've seen . Had quite a fancy for one for a while & looked at a couple but decided it was too much money to spend on a toy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Problems with the Hummer are: - they're so big - the engines are so big - they're so expensive For that kind of cash you're talking ww2 armour, several CVRTs, a garage full of GMCs etc. £25000 is too much for 1 toy, especially when they're not that special. If you've got that kind of cash you could buy a tank, they probably get about the same mpg. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarlestonMilitaryTrucks Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I like Hummers too but they are way too expensive for what you get! Buy a Chevy Blazer for the same price as a set of Hummer tyres and get the same gorgeous V8 Diesel sound for a FRACTION OF THE COST! You will also stay nice and dry, be able to hold a conversation and even listen to the radio in your MV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 if the Humvee is so good, why are US special forces buying Land Rovers? Because they are too big to fit in their aircraft! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 And the Landrover out-performs the Humvee off road. And I got that from the horses mouth as it were............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
