At 35,000 BP I would expect it to be excellent. Asking a bit much considering a blown engine.....

Why are people asking such enormous amounts of money for carriers? They aren't really that rare to demand such prices.

Compared to buying a new vehicle, maybe the "rarity" is a relevant factor.
Where can you buy a runner in N.Z. at the moment?

I suspect it's a combination of size, ease of use, and tracks.

What's the next affordable "tank" ? A kettenkrad is rare but they're about 100k

You are side stepping the point.
My guess is that you don't know of one, in the whole damn country, that is for sale "at the moment". .... and that those three (when they do come up for sale, (which is not at the moment)) are all from the same owner..... Correct?

I would suggest that world wide, they are getting a teensy bit on the un common side, and that these prices are indicative of the future. Hurry up with getting your bits gathered.
How much change out of a small fortune do you think you might keep, if you were able to buy one of the three you mentioned.

hehehehe

It would be cheaper to buy one of the three than it would be to import one from overseas that's for sure.

I do see your point though Lynn.

AOP finished yet? tehehehe...
