Thread: Defenders on "Car Sales."

Dropped my 110 today for 3rd service and fave me a D4. Great car to drive but would hate to give it the same treatment as my defender, so the defender stays

Can't believe it, but "listed" prices are GOING UP. There's heaps on there for $20K over new price!!..Like I said I don't know whether they're actually selling, but I noticed a Keswick 90 (delivery ks, NO extras) which shows "Deposit Taken" at $60K, which would be close enough to new price, before the lunacy started.

Yup Pickles, I keep looking at them as well but still consider them way over the top. There were a couple of dealers selling new stock with "Get Price" which in effect mean't get ripped! But they seem to have gone with a big gap between those who bought at retail, drove them home to then list them $35,000 more and those which are latish models with higher then normal kms and inflated expectations lol.

I was lucky enough to get my defender 90 recently so decided to sell the old one ( 90 2011 with 92000 on the clock ) after telling myself I would be greedy to keep both I put it up on Car Sales a couple of weeks ago. I had been watching defenders sell pretty fast so thought it would be a good time.

Within half an hour got a call and the guy came out to do the deal SOLD! It turns out it was a dealer I got a price I was very happy with so worked out well. Making a small profit on a car I bought over 2 years ago!

Since then I've definately seen the sales online slow down a bit here in WA so I think I timed it well, especially being a 90 which are not quite as sort after.

Well, they ain't getting any cheaper, a perusal of Car Sales today shows new or near new 90s offered at $70K,..... a "bit" over list.
A person I spoke to yesterday bought a silver pack 90 for $63K a month ago....still well over retail.

The non special editions will come down (and dont forget the hysteria that is seeing the advertised prices going up does not translate to the sold price...).

Cheers

So what you're saying is that a Defender isn't worth showing care and respect but a D4 is??



I'll take my Disco anywhere I want to go, just as I did the Defender and the D2...
