WTB: Defender 130. Opinions Needed

Hi all,

Well unfortunately i missed out on the 130 i was after, everything looked like it was ago, but got a call the following day and was told it had sold. :(

However, another defender 110 has come up... there will always be another :p ..., but it seems to be the goods.

This 110 is a 2006 model with 60,000km in it. Options include the usuals; Long range tank, bullbar, spotties, side steps, winch, snorkel and a roof rack. Everything expected on a tourer.

With the above specifications in mind, what would one pay for such a best, and what would one consider a reasonable price?

Apart from the 130 being longer and having a tray, can anybody give any reasons why one would by a 130 over a 110, or vice versa?

thanks

it may be a small technical issue, but if you want a tourer to carry a family and all the stuff required than a 130 has a GVM to do so. Of course a 110 will do it, but over the scales technically perhaps not.
A 130 tends to ride better than a 110, but has other down falls instead. Like having to reverse park it usually due to its length. Not hard just something a bit different. It also has a BIGGER turn circle than a 110. Again something you learn to live with, but also related to reverse parking.

Hi all

Ok so I am hoping to go and have a look at this 110 sometime this week. I would greatly appreciate it if anybody would be able to tell me, or link to another thread, about what I should be looking for when making an inspection of a defender of this age, late td5.

Would you also be able to tell me what the 02MY means on the later models defender stands for.

Thanks again
