Awesome, thanks!

Do we need to RSVP or do we just get a camp site and show up?

Karl, This is me Dave. I am the one that just bought your rig! Thanks for the input and I can't wait for that '68!

I think I am going to pass on this one. I can't go out and look at it, so I will just have to wait to find one that is closer. Thanks!

I like the troop carrier part of the 404. Also, they are the cheapest to have. I don't have a whole ton of money, but a 404 is within the budget for me for this hobby.

This one: I am dealing with the guy privately. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-MERCEDES-BENZ-UNIMOG-404-S-/321340812147?viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AX%3ARTQ%3AMOTORS%3A1123&forcerRptr=true&item=321340812147&nma=true&si=vk4hKvMIlBiXPhrF0gfjaAcKT8E%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Hello, I am looking to buy an all original Unimog. The guy wants about $10,000. It is very original, all the maintenance has been done and it has brand new tires and canvas, as well as all the fluids changed. It also has only about 10000 km. Is buying an all original Unimog a good idea, or will...

Ok, that is good. I always run full synthetic Mobil 1 in my cars. He also said he would include shop manuals and the driver's manual. It seems like through the projected cost of tires (4 vs. 10), maintenance, gas prices and cost of insurance that the Unimog will actually end up being less than a...

Vermont-Unimog is the guy I am dealing with. He seems really knowledgeable and nice. He also said the upkeep on these things is fairly extensive. How does it compare to the deuce? He also noted that the carbs on these are a pain and that the tranny overheats a lot. What has been your experiences?

I talked to a guy in VT. He has two, both are 404s and one is for 10k and and the other for 8500. Both have had their trannys cleaned and taken apart and both have gotten new clutches and the Pertronix ignition upgrade. The one for 10k is in better condition than the one for 8500. He is sending...

Yea I saw that. It looks awesome, but 12k is a little high for me. Also, I am in CT so I would have to pay for the transportation. I am looking for one in the NE area, or just on the east coast with a few hours. I found a place, Vermont-Unimogs, so I will see with that.

^Haha that is too funny. At least you still have it and she has not sold it! I will tell her that then, too.

Thank you, I appreciate that! This website is absolutely awesome. I just need to convince my fiance, but I think I have her convinced. It seems like such a fun hobby and I am really looking forward to the excitement of owning a MV. As far as insurance goes, I have USAA for my car. Is that a good...

Yes I have watched an extensive amount of youtube on these Unimogs and I think they have me convinced! I don't need something as large as a deuce, so a Unimog seems more within what I want. I don't have a ton of money, but I can afford the cheaper Unimog, so I will go with the 404. I have...

That is an awesome picture!! And that is also why I have always wanted a Unimog. I think the Unimog owner's are convincing me away from the deuce!
