Thread: Defenders on "Car Sales."

For registered/roadworthy defender TDI's I reckon the price range in today's 'crazy' market is $10,000 - $30,000 depending on condition. For the top dollar it would have to be immaculate, rust free, well documented, low km example (super rare!).

I don't think $30k is the ceiling to be honest and I believe the prices of the truly very good Tdis (low kms or refurbished) will continue to rise, provided they are running original drivetrains and have had nothing but cosmetic modifications.

300Tdis will be able to be exported to the US from 2019 onwards and provided they are original ie right engine, gearbox, axles, uncut chassis etc, they will be eligible for road rego.

The rest of the world has a big appetite for the 300Tdi, arguably more so than any other Defender and prices of the very good ones are going to keep rising.

I'm seriously considering stockpiling a few unmolested ones, if only there was enough time to get out there and sift through all the rubbish.

If you can get an original good 300TDi for $17k it is good buying if you get it checked out and there is nothing major required. It's low kms but the reality is everything on it is half worn out and 20 years old.

Bit glass half empty...but realistic.

Nice TD5 for sale

Certainly well equipped. Despite the age the kms are not bad.

Actually that's quite low mileage for it's years and as has been said if well maintained may well be a good buy.
I really can't see these high prices on Carsales that others are saying exist. There doesn't appear to be anything extraordinary about most....... so mine will possibly (haven't made the Cooks mind up yet ) be advertised in the NY at a hugely exorbitant price to test the market.
Everythings negotiable of course but what can be assured is that it's been well over serviced but I don't mind doing that as the Cook can use the oil to fry eggs if she runs out.......

You must not be looking too hard. A quick search and I see a handful of 110 models that are 18mth old and advertised for $20k more than new rrp.

$80K for a 110 Adventure...same old same old back in the mother country too

34,000 pounds for one with 20,000 miles. Is that about $60,000?
