I think you missed a decimal point Jon; should be over 2 milliion. 227 thousand doesn't even buy a M113 these days.

Military vehicles, by their design and small contract quantities, are usually expensive. Examples are:
M381aCdn2 in 1967 $= $2200
M151A2 in 1974 $ $14,000
Iltis in 1984 $24,000
Wolf in 2005$ $160,000
MLVW in 1982 $ $64,000
LSVW in 1990 $ $64,000
HLVW wrecker 1992 $ $300,000

M113A1 in 1966 $ 29,000
M113A2 in 1986 $220,000

These figures are by memory, but should be pretty close.
