I waited more that 2 years for the first of the Army mogs to come up - still waiting. It would be great if they went for $15-20K - I'll buy a spare one.:)
If you are talking about the guys in Perth then I wonder why he gave those prices - he puts similar model mogs on his site for $90K. I tried to buy one though him - the cheapest one was $70K and had over 10,000hrs on the motor.
I think they will be sold off in large batches to some third world country - that seems to be the deal with most other countries. Either way, spares are bound to become cheaper - with a couple of hundred or a thousand or so older mogs around the country there will soon be an independent parts supplier set up here - about time as well. I just got some prices for the main hub bearings - a full set costs around $2000 per corner from the local dealers - and they have to ship them in from Europe which they say will take 10-15 days - I can get them from the UK for less than $400 per corner including the shipping in less than a week.

I was in the CMF (reserves to you whipper snappers) when the unimogs first came out to replace the old Studebakers. Although much more comfortable, we always took a Studebaker along to pull the Mercs out of bogs. The difference; Studebakers' were six wheel drive.
Keep dreaming fellas. 15K-20K ill have 10 thanks.
On old thread resurrected! Was doing a search and this came up. Looks like Nashy's prediction of them never falling to the $15- $20K price range wasn't so accurate :o
Wonder if he has bought 10 of them!

Yeah - I imagined the $5 or 6K ones were "inoperable" or how ever they term it.
