Matt, I think what TJ means is a new Military with the AVL engine which, according to Kevin, is how they will now come. $1700 is a good price if the Military is in reasonable shape. I used to buy new vehicles as the prices weren't too much higher than used, but now the difference is great so, normally, I would just go used and hope for the best. Nothing like having a brand new anything, with none of the indents of previous ownership, so I guess the final decision depends on how full your wallet is!
Good luck in your decision,
Larry
