Market Highlights
- The Street Legal Premium: In the current 2026 market, military surplus vehicles with verified California street-legal registration are highly sought after. Because the CARB and DMV requirements for these vehicles are increasingly difficult to satisfy, a fully registered M998 carries a substantial 'turn-key' premium over off-road versions.
- Southern California Demand: The Van Nuys and greater Los Angeles market has a robust appetite for unique, high-visibility vehicles. The HMMWV's iconic profile makes it a favorite for both enthusiasts and businesses looking for a promotional vehicle, ensuring strong resale value and high liquidity in this region.
- Condition and Maintenance: At 89,000 miles, this unit is considered low-mileage for its age and engine type. The 6.2L diesel is known for its simplicity and longevity if properly maintained. An 'Excellent' condition rating on a former military asset suggests it has avoided the typical abuse seen in surplus auctions.
