"Triple In Value"?.....I don't thnk so!
Pickles.

Defenders have a Cult following and in 20 years they will be worth more than they are today (especially well looked after original ones with low mileage). I will also be very surprised if one with less than 50 000 km delivers a lower return than money in a bank at 4% pa. Over the same period.

Do they have excess stock?

Not that I know of. I guess they said that because of the large number they sold over the last two months.. (Around 9 of them, 10 if you include mine ) When I went to this dealer two weeks ago, they had 3 D90's and a D130. When I went back a week later they only had the D130 left .

Um maybe my SMSF needs to diversiy it's portfolio , and when I carck it, my yet to be conceived grandson could inherit it,

Imagine a mint D130 in 2045

4 0/0 I wish 😳

My dealer today had 3 on the floor no range rovers and Disco's. He told me sales on the defender has picked up ther is no stampede to the door but. Buyers who have never owned Defenders have come out the wood work. And generally people who see this as the last opportunity to buy one. listening to him my assessments sales have doubled

"...buy these magic beans, in a year they'll be worth twice what they are now, you'll be RICH!..."

G'Day Lou.
For sure I reckon there would have to be increased interest.
I've been saying for a while, (and of course I've got no "official" info), that as 20/12/15 draws closer, and as final order dates will be well before that, that people should order now, if they don't want to miss out, particularly if ya want special colours, and maybe some factory fitted options.
It won't be too long I reckon, before the dreaded message comes through, "No more orders". That doesn't mean that ya won't be able to buy a new one, but it does mean that ya won't be able to specially order "yours", ya'll just have to take what Dealers have in stock,......until there's no more left!
Interesting times ahead, Pickles.
