Thank you for the news update. As I said earlier, $45,000 for those kilometers, they’re not serious.
Compared to new prices for Defender 2-3 years ago, yes $45k for 200,000km looks high. But that's only because new Defenders were underpriced in the market. That was then. This is now.
New Tojo 76 are $70k minimum. The only direct competitor to Defender (other than the mythical G Professional Wagon at $110,000).
Here's a comparative Tojo 76:
We've taken a wrong turn
Defenders are iconic and better than Tojo 76 IMO. Small market but the prices seem to be holding. This may change with the release of the mythical new Defender, it it may not. It's unlikely the next Defender will be priced under $60-70k. If it is though to compete with the dual about market current second hand prices might come down. But if the next Defender isn't as awesome as we'd like, or just not as iconic as the original, current second hand Defender prices may continue to rise.
Is is it a bubble or a bull market? Only time will tell.
Mods...for some reason I can't edit my posts in this section ....should say ....to compete in the 'dual cab' market
The guy may well be on the fence about whether or not he even wants to part with it. $45k is the number that gets him off that fence and if he's in no hurry then there's no harm in waiting to see whether the right buyer comes along. There have been plenty of 'expression of interest' style ads on Carsales over the last few years - people who don't necessarily want to sell but will have a go with a number in mind.Quote:

Yep it's all supply and demand. Personally I would rather chew off my left hand than pay such prices for a well used Deefer but if others are prepared to more power to the sellers.

(Andrew86) We could all theorise on his intentions, although if he is fence sitting, he’s not serious then.
IRT: Breaching moral obligations??.....Not relevant in this matter I suggest.
Because you already have a Defender?Quote:

I would buy a D2 and custom it for a fraction of the price.
