There is an existing one Pickles. It's been quiet for a while now.

I wasn't aware of that Billy, but if that is the case, why is everyone writing about it here?
Anyway, the new thread is now up & running, & there's some really good stuff starting to appear, about what might comprise any "new" defender, paticularly an excellent post by Steane.

Because everyone got tired of that one. i've seen and replied on your new one and it has a slightly different, more pertinent focus. Yes Steins post is good food for thought.

Back on topic......a few new 2016 models still available at eye watering prices :o:confused:

There's shenanigans going on with a lot of them though.

Some are selling only to pop back up weeks later by the same dealer. Another private sale at a stupid price gets sold - a week later its back for sale again same price. So either the sales have fallen through or they have no interest and thinking people don't track sales over more than a week.

I called one private sale. His was $65k dropped to $61k then to $59k. So I asked what he'd sell it for and he suggested he had offers of $56 and 57k. So thanked him for his time and as I'm hanging up he wants to keep me talking. His then went back up to $63k and now its back down to $61k. My thoughts are either he has no offers/needs a certain amount to payout finance or is just **** farting around.

To be honest the bulk are just sitting around, not selling still. A lot have dropped a few grand in price.

Yes Daz, I've noticed that with the Heritages and an Adventure as well that they seem to reappear. A couple of others I've "saved" and then get notification when the price has fallen. This has happened with a dealer price going south 3K for late model 110 and a private 130 which I would consider a reasonable buy in the circumstances. But there are a lot of late model 90's going for early 70K which is a bit cheeky lol.

I've gone through and contacted all of the high priced 2.2 Pumas on Carsales and nearly every time the phone is answered by the same chap. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is MrLandy...

Ha ha ha :Rolling: ..,just calling it as I see it.

Someone is trying to talk the prices up...(does someone owe their better half a holiday to Europe?)

Cheers

I got my Defender in 2014 ahead of end of production / price rises because I suspected they were coming. Nothing / No-one could prise it from me now...at any price.
