Really one of the big things with the civilian model is maintance problems
such as brakes air conditioning axle and various others and lot of dealers
with poor service I have a friend that had 2 new one that AMG baught back
under the lemon laws so itsAMG's problem not the problem of used Military
units hitting the street.Did used Jeeps hurt the Jeep market it just made
it stronger.It was AMG that didnt know how to build a dealer network and
follow up with good service and build a product that the civilian market
could use without in being in the shop every week.
