Announcing, Pickups are now available in Tripoli!!!

After successful startup of pickups in Yemen, Tunis, Egypt, and Bengazi, Libya.


And if you confirm the pickup within 24hours, I will waive my normal $1,000 pickup fee.

Just fax me over a clean title, confirmation of your gift of the vehicle to me, and a refundable deposit of $2,000 that you will get back when I receive the vehicle certified and in drivable condition.

It sounds like a good truck, and should have a lot of life left in it. You'd probably be safe keeping it around for a while. However, keeping things current isn't always a bad idea either. Especially if you have the extra cash and a balance sheet to keep in good shape.
