Thread: Is this really worth $40k? (04 TD5 Extreme)

I doubt it's worth it.
I saw a Td5 Extreme with more fruit than you'd find in a grocery store, full racks, roll cage, winch, barwork, sliders, full cargo load out, HF radio, UHF, came with an Engel fridge, you wouldn't need to spend any money on fit out and he was asking a few grand less than this, and had about 30k kms less on it.
What's that line from the castle?

When they're trying to sell 2003 3 door ex-Army remediation TD5 Defenders with no fruit at $32,000 and 1989 4 speed soft top ex-Army perentie at $27,000, you can't blame an owner for asking $40K for an Xtreme.

It all depends whether your a buyer or seller, but I can confirm I won't be buying any of them at those prices.

Give it a while and it'll drop, after he realises it's too much

What strikes me if its his daily, and only done 90k, then it's almost like a school drop off vehicle. It would barely get warm before its shut down again. It may not matter, but thought diesels were made to start and run for long periods.

i guess if he thinks its worth it than it is.....

i clicked in the 97 defender below the ad above and its going for $20k

and he i was thinking mines worth next to nothing....mechanically good but rough around the edges, say 5-6K

Can get a 2010 puma for same

Doesn't have HD axles, lockers & a lot of other goodies.
There's no way that will fit in the billiard room.
"Tell him he's dreamin"
Wouldn't pay more than 29k for it.
I reckon id be taking the dealer up on his offer.
Nice truck though !

I was planning on buying a TD5 defender, but with the prices (even more reasonable prices) they go for, I couldn't justify it. So I bought an Isuzu.

I know it's supply and demand, so the high prices are probably "right" for the market, but that doesn't mean it's "worth" that much.

Defenders of all models sell for a relatively high price due to their availability and how much people want a second hand one. Just the way it is with defenders if you ask me...
