    To much or good price?

    Hi all

    Looking at buying a defender 130 but not sure on what is a good price.

    Details are below
    1997 defender 130
    50,000km
    log books and service history
    very good condition
    $27,500

    I know that it has very low km's but that price seems far to much for a 11yr old car. Looking for your opinions on what would be a good price?

    Thanks Andrew

    Is that the ex-rural fire service one?

    That sounds like the top of the price range but hard to make a comparison. I guess you look at the price for a similar Km Td5.

    Cheers

    I'd say the price is too high, but you'll wait a long time to find another one with such low KMs.

    What extra's are included in the price?

    It does sound like the ex-firey one. Even know it has low kms these vehicles get thrashed around but..... I suppose always the exception.

    It is a big asking price. But I suppose if you get it inspected by someone who knows their stuff it may be worth it.

    If you want it go for it as you probably won't find a better one but you could get a td5 in that bracket.

    Its over priced..

    They get driven short distances and then get driven hard when they do, no one respects them...

    Its like a Farm 4wd.... only done 80k..... all in Low range every day...

    The Fire services and SES are having trouble selling them as they dont look after them...

    Well in Vic they dont..

    When i found out it was an ex service vehicle that was what i thought. The actual life of the engine or how much work it has done is probably well over the km's it shows.

    They want too much for it as you will probably be confronted with expensive repairs down the track.
    If it was operated like the Fenders in my brigade the engine would have done a lot of idling ( possible glazing), The clutch would be shagged and the gearbox and transfer would have copped a caining.
    Volunteer Firies do a good job but a lot are inexperienced drivers and are very hard on the drive trains.
