I want to know, do I need to get 'No Objection Certificate' signed from army, the place where auction was conducted. Because I spoke to the Salvage people in Pathankot, and they have never heard this process, as it is auctomatically done by DTO office on their behalf.

Not a Senior Bhpian but I'll take a stab at this nonetheless - assuming you did not directly bid for the vehicle in the auction -
your dealer would have a letter from the Army depot stating that the vehicle bearing chassis # & engine # has been sold under Auction #.
This is then taken with the auction receipt from the dealer to the RTO for registration.

RTO inspect the papers, the vehicle for fitness, you pay the fee, taxes and they issue your dealer a number. You then transfer the vehicle in your name as second owner.

+1 on that. Just one addition, if your dealers address falls under another RTO then he will need to get you a NOC for you to be able to transfer the vehicle to your home RTO

cheers,

Fahad

Thanks a lot for the info. Any idea whats the going price of a cj3b from the auction or from a scrap dealer.

Cheers,

Fahad

He picked it up for 83000 + Taxes (5% Vat + 1% ITCS). He would have spent another 10k for handling and miscellaneous* expenses. Registration Cost is 30K. You should get the Jeep for 1.5 Lakhs.

Thanks Jerrycan for the info.

I am a newb. I don't know anything about the auctions, never been to one before. I don't now how to go about it. If I have your permission to PM you.. I would like to ask you a few things about army auctions.

[V-16]

All the best for your bids Jerrycan. I hop you get the vehicles you are looking for.

I don't quite understand why there so much demand for an army auctioned jeep vs a used civilian jeep of the same model. Do they have different specs?

Some thoughts..

1. Civilian Jeep of same model is not available off the shelf - finding a 4x4 540 in the used cars market is difficult - one might have better luck with a Bolero. The Thar is changing this to some extent these days.

2. Stock capability to take on the off-road - aggregates of the 550 are designed to take more abuse in general, and then go out and do it again.

3. Proven - if it's been good enough to take Army use = good enough for one's 4x4 needs

4. Cost - If you're not going overboard in a restore, the cost of a basic restore is relatively minor

By the way, ever wonder why the fascination with Army surplus stores and HUMMVEEs (which led to the civilian H1, H2 s)

Hmm, well that could be so, I have seen many very nice looking Gypsies and MMs buzzing around in Leh with an army officer or two prettily tucked in. They could be best cared for vehicles.
