Thread: Defenders on "Car Sales."

I put my car up for sale a couple of years back...didn't really want to sell it, so put a high price on it...with the attitude that if someone paid that...I would let it go....I still have it and am happy to have kept it. No mucking anyone around and it kept the tyre kickers away.......when I am buying, if the asking price in the ad is too much...I move onto the next ad...no inconvenience. Simples....

Looks like D4s are on average around 150,000km for $45k. So yes a bit cheaper and a good option if someone can't come at a Defender. It's all relative. Choice is often under-rated by those fortunate enough to be able to choose. ...I noticed today that brand new Nissan Navaras are only $33,000.

But...there's still nothing like a Defender.

...just interested to know, you didn't have a Deefer already, what would you buy instead for $45k?

A used Y62.

Well you could by an old Volvo wagon, but is it comparable to a Defender?

Had a look at the Y62... gawd I'd forgotten how fugly! ...if you're after a menacing black behemoth this one is the kit! We've taken a wrong turn
...each to their own. I'd prefer a Defender.

...I drive a defender....I have been to high country, Simpson , Fraser island caravans etc...So I have done some off-roading.....

So what is so good about the defender above other 4wds?In your mind

Sry should be watagans instead of cavarans....
