Thread: Defenders on "Car Sales."

There was an Orange 2015 MY 16 Adventure for sale for $75K that has gone, pity cos I liked that one. However, way too expensive for me and I'm more than happy with "Daisy" my 2014 Defender

Defenders are overtaking landcruisers for most hedging vehicles on australian market, even their lifespan(especially engines) maybe not as long as LCs. And it also maybe the most appriaceted European vehicle.

My patience has worn out I think. Starting to look at a disco or a DC ute I guess but not too enthusiastic with the idea. Any 110's newer than 2008 model are $40k plus up to a ridiculous $90k (and that's not even considering the heritage models!). Maybe next year hey.

Defenders were always under priced / under valued IMO. Compared to the (few) other serious heavy duty 4x4's on the market they were an absolute bargain at $50K new. $20K+ under price of Toyota 70 series. Chassis and body longevity / fuel economy / superior suspension and handling easily out weighs cost of Tojo V8. ...Chickens coming home to roost?

Yes... they were also cheaper here in OZ than the equivalent models in the UK!!

Still in Sydney Pete?.....When's "The Big Journey" happening?

Looks like July now mate...

Co-driver not available until then... but my 90 will have gone up in value more however! LOL!

As you might I bought an 90 Adventure and have clocked up a huge 81km since purchase in December, didn't buy it as an investment, but did have it at the back of my mind that it would go up in value since its the very last of this iconic vehicle. Just not had time to drive it, have the Disco for everyday, the 2a that I am restoring with the lad and have just bought a 10 seater series 3, I also have 9 motorbikes that I work on at the weekend! That with the everyday jobs round the house there's just no time! I've come to the conclusion that the 90 will one day be my retirement car!
