Thread: A.W.O.L.

Hey guys, had a quick look at the AWOL fleet yesterday. Pretty rough to say the least. Rust, missing parts and a general lack of maintenance, most in very poor condition. I think I'll still to buying one privately or ex army. Definitely worth a look though. Plenty of models with some interesting mods.

Personally, I think privately is the way to go. You may pay an extra grand or 3, but you get back in that it will be registered, you can start it and take it for a drive and have a professional look over it.
You may even get lucky and find someone who has put thousands into getting it up to scratch but has gotten tired of putting funds into it.
Mine now owes me 25k and I'm getting to that point.

Does that mean there is a auction scheduled?

Nothing scheduled yet. Grays reckons another 2-3 weeks before auction. And yep, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for a good private one

AWOL Auction is now live

Grr....it's not an Ambo

Prices look like good buying a day out from the end of the auction. Maybe people hanging off until the last couple of hours to get their bids in? Wouldn't mind another RFSV if they go for anything under 12k. Looks like a few mods in the auction images on some of them though from their original mil spec. Anyone on the forum been to have a look?
Regards Warrick.

Got a feeling there is a few bidders laying low
