When you consider that Ilti were going around $1200 to 1800 a couple years ago at auction, I must agree that todays Kijiji prcies are somewhat inflated...

I cant say the prices are out of line at all. They are unique jeeps. If the americans had used them, these Cdn jeeps would have all been sold out of Canada long ago at these prices.
sadly many people have bought the few remaining examples for use as bushwackers, or are otherwise not treating them as heritage vehicles. Lots of examples of this on youtube I have no firm number but Im guessing about 500-700 (??)were released across Canada and of that number maybe half will soon be wrecked.. Of course people can do what they want with them, but it does seem a shame when there are so few of them, they do represent Cdn military and Cdn automotive history, and if one wants to bash around the bush, there are many more common and cheap alternatives..

Pretty much all the vehicles after the MLVW were of european descent. The Iltis, the LSVW (Iveco), the HLVW (Steyr) and then the G wagon all replaced North American type cehicles with varying degrees of success. The armoured AHSVS (Mercedes armoured 10 ton) also replaced armoured North American built highway tractors in Afghanistan, and are looked at with envy from several different countries, the US included.
About the only real lemon in the bunch is perhaps the LSVW, which was chosen for the military, and not by the military. The only real exception to his is the new MLVW replacement

Why an Iltis?
Given that the MUTT had too be replaced and Canada needed a light reconnaissance vehicle, how many choices of vehicles could they pick from. At that time the Goverment was trying to have military vehicles assembled in Canada. That would shorten the list of available choices, perhaps the Iltis was the "best" deal they could get.

stewart brings up a good point.. the original auction price is about half of the total price it took to get them licenced. So the first owners were looking at more or less $4K for a licensed runner
