Canada has contracted with Smith Consulting Group, LLC (SCG) to remarket these military surplus assets (MSAs) directly to governments. SCG represents Canada much like a real estate agent representing the home owner in the sale of property. SCG has the exclusive right to sell these vehicles on behalf of Canada. All Department of National Defense Surplus Assets are sold on an “AS IS - WHERE IS” basis, and no warranty is offered, either expressed or implied.

- Inspection is required to make your own judgments-this inspection is NOT guaranteed.
- Condition of Military Surplus Assets: Since these vehicles are only being offered for sale in AS-IS, WHERE-IS condition, the sales agent and buyer must inspect the vehicles and make their own determination. The vehicles were "runners" i.e. they were driven off the low bed trailer and parked in storage. So most if not all of these vehicles would require some level of inspection and refurbishing prior to being put into service. The general condition is good as it relates to mechanically and visually. Inspection is required by the client and the client must make his own determination of the actual condition.
- Conditions is provided only a guideline and is the opinion of SCG. The Customer or sales agent is responsible to determine if these guidelines are consistent with their expectations:
- Condition A: The vehicle is likely in good running and operating condition. The general appearance is very good.
- Condition B: The vehicle was running and operating when declared surplus. The vehicle is not residue nor declared surplus for scrap value. Refurbishing to some degree will be necessary. General appearance is good.
- Condition C: This vehicle’s may not have been running and operation when declared surplus. It may require more significant overhaul or refurbishing. The vehicle is complete and can be returned to operational status.
- Independent Technical Inspection: An independent inspection of the M113s occurred in October 2006. APM Diesel performed an exhaustive mechanical evaluation on randomly selected vehicles. The results of that evaluation is provided for evaluation purposes, however, potential buyers are cautioned and reminded that all sales are AS-IS where-is with no warranty express or implied. This independent evaluation is not guaranteed. The ultimate decision on the condition of the assets for sale must be determined by the buyer.
