Ambitious asking price for a bog stock ex-demo

Very frustrating to see things like this whilst in the market for a defender:

I looked at this car 2 weeks ago from the original seller who was in Canberra but had trouble getting my finance sorted in time and trying to decide if I really wanted a white one, but I was very close to buying it and its listed price was $44,000 on Carsales.

Not less than a week later this add above pops up of the car in Sydney for $56,000!!! whilst I don't think he will ever get $56,000 which would be a 12,000 profit (not bad for a weeks work), its just infuriating that people do this when people like me are actually genuinely looking.

Rant over.

Wait a bit longer and u will probably see it come back to a realistic price.... if the guy is actually serious about selling it. I reckon he's not though looking at that price.

That is a bit disppointing.
But don't give up, there's quite a few Defenders around the original price you mention, so if you keep on it, I'm sure you'll get something suitable for you.
Good Luck, Pickles.

Haha. What a BARGAIN! Cheers

My son recently sold his Corris Gray 90 that had nearly every option except sunroof for $56K.

Not bad considering he paid $58 brand new for it 18 months previously & had done 48000km.

Mind you he did not want to sell it but a future addition to the family saw it as the only practical option.

Could not replace it with a 110 due to price.

Definitely overpriced. There are others at realistic prices. Keep looking.
