That's kind of a tough question...
I have been watching M1009 prices lately as I would like to be in one soon,
now that I have moved to a place with some room. Seems like interest has
dropped off in them or at least the pricing. Last year when I looked around
for one I saw $6000 being the average for a decent one.
G/L Auctions seem to be hovering around $3000 for a complete one.. There is
a an M1008 http://tinyurl.com/9x474 and M1028 http://tinyurl.com/awpmv
coming up at Letterkenny Army Depot Chambersburg, PA. They both look to be
in good shape without any cannibilzation.
Dealers still seem to be trying to get $5500 or more for one, and I have
seen some ambulances priced at $7K on average. There is a dealer near me
with two 1009s that he is asking for $5500 for and they have been in the
autotrader for many months maybe a year even. Other Recent dealer ads I have
seen on autotrader were priced at $7199 and $9500.
However the open market doesn't seem to be supporting this. I have watched
several on ebay with "Buy it Now" prices of $5000 or more that have gone
unsold, one seller is going on his 3rd listing for the two he is offering.
One just closed a couple of days ago in Alabama with a starting bid of $3800
and got no bids (the front end had been swapped with a Dana 44 thought,
might have something to do with it.) In the past month two have
successfully sold on ebay, one for $2,257.32 (nice texas truck) and another
for $3500 (1009 that had been modified for rock crawling). There was one
more that opened at $100 with a reserve and $7000 "Buy it Now" and the
bidding only got up to $760, it had aftermarket aluminum rims on it. So it
seems just about any CUCV with a "Buy it now" or reserve over $2000 just
isn't getting any interest. I have seen this one auctioned a few times over
the year http://tinyurl.com/d83xw no takers yet. There is however a Nice
M1028 in California with a $4400 "buy it now", http://tinyurl.com/87c5o if
it wasn't so far I'd give $4400 for it. It's got the diesel fired Artic
Heater, not that I need one in Florida. There is a private party selling
M1028 cheap in Wisconsin for $2000 needs some work though "no rust, lots of
dents, bad transmission" http://tinyurl.com/8lo3x
After all that I am still not sure... Maybe if it were complete and in
really great shape fresh from DoD service $5000. If it has been used and
abused by someone for a couple of years and needs work $3000 tops. Something
like you are looking at post FD use probably maintained, painted red, $2500
- $3500?? Maybe..

Hi all!
A local fire dept. is selling a 1984 1008 with perfect body (red), no
tailgate, good dash & interior except for torn seat, converted to 12v
starter but kept 2 batteries and alt. I guess to power plow, 48,000 miles,
newer snow plow, good tires, runs great with good tires. They used it for
brush truck and to plow their drive. What would be fair value?
