Thread: Defenders on "Car Sales."

...the big question in terms of Defender prices is, will classic diesel Defenders hold their value? Or will they be too difficult to run?

Of course diesel will be around much longer than 5 years, but change will be rapid once EVs become the norm...it’s sooner than most could have imagined IMO.

They will always be able to be run (Defender),as will the millions of other diesel road vehicles,and its not just road vehicles that need diesel.

Vehicles,and other machinery with ICE,are still going to be manufactured for many years to come,they are not going to vanish overnight.

Price of old model Defenders will be whatever the supply and demand is,and what people will be prepared to pay.

If you look at vehicles that are worth a lot of money,they are generally very rare models,very few around.

The Defender, ATM,is not rare,there are heaps around.

So prices will probably stay where they are for quite a while.

I don't think the new model will have any bearing on what the old model is worth,as it will be a completely different vehicle,in a different class

That one is visible from the M1,its parked next to a nice D4,with heaps of accessories,at the dealer.

I think they are out the front to remind people what LR used to sell....
