| Senior - BHPian  | There are four MM550s are left out in Chennai with the scrap vendor here, however then condition of the jeeps are not that good in condition. I got one for my friend for Rs.1.36L + approx. 20K for life tax and Insurance. Then we need to restore the jeep, the jeep's engine is not in starting condition and almost all the engine parts seems to be dismantled and assembled as part of pre-condemn process in the Army depot. So, If anyone willing to touch a budget of Rs.2.5L or slightly higher may try the MM550s in Chennai. Here are few pics of the available MM550s one of them was already bought by me for a Friend.           Last edited by trammway : 14th July 2009 at 23:26. |

| Senior - BHPian  | MAN  !!!1.36L without registration is daylight robbery!!! Jeeps in this condition I have seen in Mayapuri going for 60-65K MAX. I recently helped a friend of mine get a jeep for 1.20L Start condition, All denting work, patch work done up, completely repainted, new fabrication of seats and seat covers + New hood, engine not overhauled but minimum work done on the engine, and the vehicle had run for about 500 kms after the engine work. i had even posted a picture in one of the threads about it. i think that we guys in north india are in quite an advantage!!!  i picked up mine for 77K |

 Please dont rub it in Harjeev, Imagine these guys are charging about 80k a piece just to transport these things from Mayapuri. I wish there was something like the Mayapuri of the south. Or if we could get in on the Army auctions easier down south. There is a LOT of work from what I can see. All the best this this Shibu person and anyone else who picks it up. If I were desperate for an ex-Army (which I have got over now) I would rather do what Fk7 did. Go to Mayapuri. Select one. Truck it down. 70-80k to truck it down ? I think not. Speaking of which Tarkesh, did you get a call from Manu? Status: There was a civilian 550 which I almost closed on. However the owner after making me wait for 3 weeks, decided to give it to his relative.  Getting nowhere! | |

| Senior - BHPian | Ganesh, Thanks for your time. To answer your last line. Yes its not really working out. I am looking for a 10yr oldish Factory 4x4 MM550 (preferable) or 540. It has to be in good running condition. Ascetics not too finicky about and is debatable Jeep to Jeep. Budget I have is only about 1.2L so not looking for anything fancy. VFM will be an underlying current for every option looked at. Not moved to the stage where I buy a 2WD and convert it. Prefer the plaque to say 4WD. All sites checked and all these guys called. my comments inline in bold. Quote: Quote:
     There was engine work to be done, tinkering & painting to be done. But total bill would not have gone over 1.3L. That too for a MM550. Had even got it checked with Stephen Suresh's workshop guy. 3 of us were looking forward for this deal. But things are just not working out. I will PM you my mobile - in case you have any leads or need more clarity Last edited by IronWolf : 16th July 2009 at 00:12. Reason: Removed Excess smilies | |

| Senior - BHPian  | iron wolf - have u considered picking up a good specimen from Mayapuri ?? there are so many dilli members who will be glad to help u. all u need to do is a person for u at ground zero and once something is identified, u can even take train to dilli ( 2 keep costs low ! ) stay there for a few days and buy the vehicle. do the paper work . for transporation - u shud first chek with the packers/movers empannelled in ur company. when i shifted from Gurgaon to Chennai i paid around 12-13k for transporting my car ! i dont think it shud cost more than that for a jeep. if ur passionate on acquiring a MM550 and ur on a strict budget - u need to do much more than just calling up on ads dude ( dont take it in the wrong sense ) |
