Defenders on "Car Sales."

Hi, Anyone an opinion or advise on the previous post? Or am I in the wrong thread?

Hi DutchMick, I would recommend starting a thread of your own, you may get a wider audience.
Good luck, and welcome to Australia.

Is Chops still selling his DCPU? May be worth getting in touch!

Me thinks its a bit pricey considering its a td5, 10 years old and the fact that it is so heavily modified actually doesn't do it any favors either making less attractive to those who like the idea of being able to modify to their own taste.

Thoughts?

I guess that depends on what you after and how much money you have to spent. The build cost me around 120k and that's with labour at mates rate and a bit trial and error.

While I think it's worth it I don't expect to get it but also quite undecided about selling in general so just testing the waters

I completely understand that and its the right time to be testing the waters with current defender prices comanding good returns on investment with little depreciation.
I wish you luck mate

There must still be a few new or near new Defenders for sale.
We were at Barry Bourke's (Berwick) last night for an HSV Owner's Club Meeting.
Next door is Melbourne's newest JLR Dealership, so wondered over for a look,...there were two new/almost new Defenders outside, both well optioned.
One was (pretty sure) a new one (spotless in wheel arches), dark grey with black roof, black/brown premium seats, sawtooths, side runners, winch etc etc, marked "Sold".
The other was white with a black top...again two tone premium seats, dual finish alloys, side runners, cold climate option, done about 2000ks. Funny thing was, there was some old sales display stuff in the car showing a price of $61990, but the car was for sale at $68990!!
I thought it was a bit unusual to see two Highly optioned new/nearly new Defenders for sale/just sold etc in a JLR dealership at this late stage?

They still "ask" good money. I'd say they're fetching good money too but not $80k for a 90 generally speaking. I'm not surprised that the "mothballed" units have come out of the woodwork as the increase in prices has stalled and in my observation, the price has fallen from its peak prompting the push to get a hold of the premium while it remains.

I think that's actually quite a reasonable price for a near new 110, particularly if it's an MY16 with so few kms. The only other late model 110s for sale under 70k have significantly higher milage.

As for prices more generally. I think it's fair to say that things have levelled off, but I haven't noticed a reversal.
