Thread: Defenders on "Car Sales."

I believe you've hit the nail on the head mr pickles...

I have been watching for 2 years for the right vehicle to pop up at a price point I am prepared to pay.

the silly season seems to be abating and the pricing in the segment of the market I was peering into is now at the level I believe it will not sink below...

been a long wait

hopefully someone won't rain on my parade .....

All classics seem to have shot up in value over the last 12-18 months (I've been looking at 60s Alfas and similar) which is worrying as it always happens before a crash particularly housing as people start divesting into other 'investments'.

What about this little gem? Looks like a hipster threw up all over it :P

We've taken a wrong turn

yes, curated by a bogan under the instruction of "money is no object, but keep it classy..." each to their own i suppose, but it's not for me. Especially for that money!

Absolutely and also whatever price point the new Defender is introduced at... but going by LRA's current pricing I cant see it being under $60K starting price and possibly higher. Previous Defenders were always the under-priced bargains of the HD 4x4 world IMO. I can't see prices for excellent examples of the outgoing classic coming down. ...not many low km Tojo 76 wagons for under $70-75K and they're boring run of the mill, cart sprung dinosaurs compared to Defender?

(by the way, anyone who thinks a car is a safe investment is bonkers).

Huge dollars, can't see it selling for that sort of money.

Doesn't look too bad from the outside, paint the bash plate and grille surround black and get rid of the silly number plate and it looks pretty good. But the interior ............................ totally binable IMO

What is that horrible looking piece of Thule plastic over the spare wheel ??
