    When he saw it for the first time he could not believe how good it looked in real life, how much work was done to it and how beautifully it drove.

    After he paid the balance and got the paperwork out of the way i watched him drive out of my driveway.....its was the saddest moment ive ever felt in regards to a vehicle. I walked into the house with tears running down my face, my mrs gave me a hug and reminded me of our priorities.

    Damn that sounded great! Much rather a Td5 for that price than a $60-70k Puma!

    Don't really know what you're getting at here ? The Oka is basically trouble free from a design and build viewpoint though the first production models needed a bit of tweaking here and there, no different to any other vehicle really.

    Alas, no more since about 5 years ago, but hold their prices well if properly maintained, very similar to the Defender really in a lot of ways.

    A good choice for a heavy duty touring vehicle especially as a family tourer/camper. For the same price as a Defender you get a lot of Oka. In the right application better value for money IMO.

    ps. Deano is biased as he owns an Oka and has owned two (older) Defenders
    66 SIIA SWB .......73 SIII LWB diesel wgn
    86 RR 'classic'......99 Range Rover P38a
    94 Defender 110..95 Defender 130 Ute
    96 D1 300TDi.......99 D2 TD5 (current)
    04 D2a Td5..........02 Disco 2 V8

    Yeah....Nah. A person (thief?) may not be willing to pay anything for an object he wants personally. The price he is willing to pay (zero) does not reduce the worth of the object to zero.

    That is just one scenario, yours. There are other scenarios that support my assertion.

    My assertion being that there are people who will want something, are not willing to pay anything for it. And the price they are willing to pay (zero) in no way changes the worth of the item.

    The focus of the assertion is not on thieves or theft or ability to pay.

    I'd go further and assert that that there are "things" that people don't want. Thus are not willing to pay anything for it. This too does not change the worth of the object.

    All this being a counterpoint to the comment:

    If that person is the only person in the market for a Defender, it does. You can't sell it for anything, to anyone, a bit like the Lada Niva by good friend had back in the 90's. Worth, in this case, being the value of the asset if it were converted to cash.

    Obviously the market for Defenders is much bigger than one person, but the same principle applies. If none of those people are willing to pay $100k then it isn't worth $100k.
