    Chris,can I be blunt,your too picky.You want a 20 year old vehicle with less than 100K on it for less than 20K,that vehicle does not exist.The white one for 30K looks to be a very well cared for vehicle and I would not be scared of 300k either,mines almost 500k,looks like crap but I do 400kms in it every week and it's as reliable as a sunrise.

    Hi Pat, I am looking for something like the first couple I missed that had 220 thousand kays on them, not 100k and they were around 12 grand, but I was too slow, I also missed two td5s so they are out there I just need to be quicker. A month ago there was a 12 grand 300 tdi new on Gumtree every week, but it has gone a bit quiet for a few weeks now. I am not against a high km 300tdi, but I am against paying top many unless it has been restored.

    Seen it, it has been on Gumtree for almost 2 months, originally it was 14k, now price increased to 16k and it is rather rusty, I have extra pics he sent me.

    Ok It looks like I might have escaped the Mahindra, my missus wanted a Wrangler for herself, but she wanted to wait till the end of the year, the Mahindra was to be my car if I could not get a Defender 130 in time. She drove the Mahindra today and loves it, then she went to try a Jeep and although she said it was nice she actually preferred the Mahindra!!
    Sooo she want the Mahindra as her car which I can use for the time being when I need and I can keep looking for what I want
    That was a close call!!

    I look forward to some feedback. They are supposed to be pretty good. It will probably be cheaper than yours to keep on the road.

    Do they still smell like something died in them?

    I had a new one for a week and it ponged inside. The Mahindra version of 'new car smell' needed a serious revision at the time.

    A rugged bus that had it's charms but I'd have struggled to swap money for one. I'm sure they've improved in the last 7 years.

    She is buying a demonstrator so it had time to err air a bit. I had read this so I asked and she said no pong .
    Cant argue with the price though, even new zero kays is only 25k for the tub tray, if you shop around I saw a 2014 zero kay truck with an aluminium tray, and tow bar for 27k not bad with side steps and alloys as standard and Eaton diff lock. Is it a Defender, no, but I met someone the other day with 180,000km on his with no issues at all just normal servicing. He said him and his missus do some serious bush bashing so they must be up to the job. I sat in his and the seating position is soo similar to the Defender it is not funny (another good point).

    Edit, yes the new ones are a lot different than the old ones, LOTS more power for a start.
