Has anyone picked up a Humvee in Indianapolis?

Post by BEIS1 » Wed Nov 01, 2017 12:49 pm

My EUC was approved this past Tuesday and I made the arrangements to pick it up. Seems very odd. Just wondered how it went for others in Indy.

Thanks!

I was given a 2 hour window on a single day to pick up. Then when I couldn’t make that time he conveniently had friends business down the road that could take possession, and I could pick up from him anytime. BTW - that will cost me $125.

Call and speak to GP management. They don't tolerate that kind of BS. The window for pick up can be limited but the referral deal sounds very fishy. :evil:

I think they are third party holding sites. Juans advice sounds like a good first step.

All went well picking up the humvee in Indianapolis today. I still think a single 2 hour window to pick up is BS, and the $125 to the guy down the road to pick up the next business day I was available was also BS - but what can you do. The guy was friendly at least and the humvee is awesome. Better than I expected from the GP pictures. I think I have the MV fever...

Did you contact GP and tell them the same thing?

I never contacted them at all about the situation. I probably should.

I can pretty clearly picture this whole situation as I had done it myself. It's where I picked up my HMMWV. There's a mechanic shop right next door to the storage yard that has a wrecker service. For me, this was a great boon as I needed my HMMWV transported to my house as it was a non-runner and I had no equipment to move it. The guy certainly does run small pickup windows, but was very nice and talkative while I was there, and we arranged for the place next door to move my HMMWV. The shop next door picked up my HMMWV after I finished inspecting it and dropped it right in my driveway about 25 miles away for all of $100 total. I felt like I got a pretty good deal, but I don't think I would want to pay $125 just for someone to move it 1-2 lots over for me to be able to pick it up later...
