Actionmobil for low price
http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/sh...n&pageNumber=3
275K euro is only a fraction of what it was new. 41K km is virtually new. 1998 engine, Euro 2, minimal or no electronics.
Only problem: unregisterable in the US. Plus MAN has no support in the US.

Although it looks like a good deal. I wouldn't buy a actionmobil.... There are too many not so funny stories about them out there...
Adventurer
Can you give an example of some of these stories?
Adventurer
I don't want to get haunted by them... But one thing I have been told and have seen several times is the way the body is fastened to the chassis...
Could be, they changed the design since I last saw it but it wasn't pretty to see the screws (that hold the body on the frame) strip while the truck was going through it's paces on a dirt road in africa....
Other then that they look very very nice on the inside! Very well done (on the inside I mean)

I actually know nothing about Actionmobil except for their website. I do find these 11 year old expedition trucks that only have 41000 km a bit odd. I have 57000km in 3.5 years and will have another 75000km by the end of 2012 or 2013.
I guess that would be about 6-8 round trips from Germany to Morocco, however.

Can import to Canada in 3 years...

I wouldnt bring one of these to the americas, different style of expedition, this is designed for rally support or the sahara/mongolian trips, no roads no narrow passes etc.
Thats just me tho.

By "The americas" I asume you mean North America? Seems like there is a lot down in South American that would be well suited to something like this...
Charlie, I see that it says you arein Anchorage, mind if I ask then, are the laws in AK the same as in the lower 48 on polution and soforth for vehicles? Could one not bring this thing into AK? Just ask because the population numbers are so low there, and seeing some of the vehicles they drive up there I would be shocked if they all follow in those requirements.
Thanks

Yeah I was trying to encompass USA, Canada and a good chunk of Central America. Northern Canada and Southern South America I could see yeah.
