Thread: Resale prices on 'old' Defender

I reckon the current Defenders will go the same way as all the Series models. Parts will be harder to source and the new one will be just that bit better and as current Puma owners get into the new ones, they'll sell their Puma's to those who can't or won't buy or lease new cars. Like, how desirable is an old County next to the latest Defender, really? it's only the die hards who'll want them and the value will continue to slide. They may increase in value when they're 50 years old like old Kombi's and other old collectibles.

We won't ever need to worry about LR parts,your right about the county's,the roughest toughest LR ever yet you can buy them for scrap value,the Tdi's will always hold thier money,the Td5 will be the looser in my opinion. Pat

Well that makes me happy Pat, being the proud owner of a 300tdi

According to an uninvested source, equally desirable

Thanks for the link Dervish- that sounds like good news for the likes of me. But I still stand my my original comment...
"...it's only the die hards who'll want them and the value will continue to slide. They may increase in value when they're 50 years old like old Kombi's and other old collectibles. " I guess we'll just have to wait and see and hope their value rises.

Haha, try and buy a 110 3.9 Isuzu. Even the Perenties are selling for more that tdi units.

They only sold about 20 Izzuzzuu's all up and the 20 owners that have them are like grandad with his axe,he's replaced 5 heads and 10 handles but it's still grandads axe . Pat
