Thread: Defender sub 5 grand?

Not really, as ma and pa franchise rental companies want them in good nick and generally don't allow them going off road

Mine spec is a different matter.

Decent cheap ones do pop up every now and again. Just keep a regular watch on the various add sites. Decent cheap ones sell very quickly. There was a td5 110 on gumtree late last year for less than $5k, it sold in less than 12 hours. Just because you pay more doesn't mean that you won't have expensive issues to fix. I bought my 300tdi 110 off this site for $5k about 3 years ago - it was a good solid base to start with, have done a few things to it, got a bit more to go. Watch the markets and grab stuff/accessories if required and if the price is right.

There are quite a few nice classic rangies around at the moment eg a one owner LSE up north for $6.5k, a low mileage air suspension vogue in Brisbane for $4k with rwc and registered. There was also a 300tdi converted '88 RRC with RWC, registered and blue plated for $4k.

Was that the one that had been submerged ?

No idea.
