The Canadian military usually does not treat the PCC'd vehicles as anything of value. I bought M38A1s that had sat so long the fuel pumps would not work.....got them for a song. Meanwhle if it had a tarp it would go for 2 to 3 times the price. When I saw the Germans selling their Mungas here in Manitoba, they came complete with all their tarps, and even the tools etc were all still in their place. When you buy Cdn surplus vehicles, you are usually lucky if it has batteries.
I would not be surprised to see the MLVWs wait a year or three before being sold off, if that's still the plan. The old deuces went the same way. Although prices were fairly high on them initially, they were going for only around $600 each towards the end. Many also went to ranges as targets. Even some Iltis went to the ranges here as targets. That made me happy. I did not like the Iltis.
