One of the Indiana counties spent only $5,000 for its MRAP, while the government originally purchased the vehicle for $733,000. There's your problem. For only $5K who wouldn't want one of those suckers? It's basically free. Now, if the feds sold them to local PD for even $200,000 (still a huge discount) they would have to stop and think, hm, do we really need this? And the answer would probably be no.
Yeah, and if I can find someone to give me a Lear I still couldn't afford to own it or use it.
People have no clue the TCOO of one of these vehicles.

No doubt. Who maintains these things? Even if they sit in storage 364 days a year there's some work that has to be done to keep them working, and I doubt the local grease monkeys are qualified.
