The M1097A2 came next with 104 sales at a middle of $6,200, and it held the highest middle of the common models. The M1123, the heavy variant of the same truck, sold 54 times at a middle of $3,050, and most of those came out of California. The M1152 sold 21 times at $5,300, the older M1097 15 times at $4,900, and the turbocharged M1165, which shows up rarely, sold six times at a middle of $15,200.
Doors and tops move the price. The 31 hard-top Humvees in the results sold at a middle of $10,100, almost twice the $5,500 middle of the 354 soft tops. Four-door trucks brought a middle of $5,600 and two-doors $4,600.

How to register and bid
Bidding is online at GovPlanet.com. Open a free account and bid on any lot before its sale closes; the closing times are on each sale's page in the auction calendar. Humvees can be sold only inside the United States and only to U.S. citizens 21 or older. The trucks carry the Defense Department's demilitarization code Q, and the buyer submits an End-Use Certificate, which GovPlanet reviews before the truck can leave the yard; first-time buyers of these items can wait longer for that review. The buyer also signs a Hold Harmless Agreement before scheduling pickup. No further demilitarization is needed, and the Humvees are sold for off-road use.
The price on the results page is not the whole cost. GovPlanet adds a 15% transaction fee to the final selling price, a 4.5% fuel surcharge capped at $2,250, a $125 fee to process the SF 97, and the sales tax of the state where the truck sits. Bids cannot be pulled back once placed. Full payment is due within seven days of the sale, by wire transfer or by credit card for an extra fee, and the truck must be picked up within eight business days or storage charges start. The buyer pays for all transport, and the driver must bring a copy of GovPlanet's Item Release.
The SF 97 is the federal form that conveys ownership of the truck. GovPlanet says buyers typically receive it within 30 business days of taking possession, though it can take up to 60, and transferable titling documents typically follow within 30 business days of the SF 97. Registering the truck is up to the buyer and the state.
A 1993 M1097R1 four-door hard top in Springfield, Ohio, shows what a listing holds. It sells November 18 with a starting bid of $3,000 and $100 bid increments, and 129 people are watching it. Its inspection report shows 31,014 miles, a repaired radiator tank, no dripping leaks, rust on the axles and steering linkage, and an engine that cranked with a jump but would not run, with all fluids drained. Every Humvee on GovPlanet carries a report like it, with photos of each section, and the Ohio truck has 66. GovPlanet's customer care line is (844) 225-8799, weekdays from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific.
