:pLast night I put a deposit on "Man Steel", he is a 2000 Defender TD5 wagon , white, 93K, ARB bull bar and running boards, tow bar, electric brakes, excellent condition inside and out geniune one owner, full service history etc, for $25K, very happy. The minister for war and finance cannot see what is so good with "Man Steel" but then again our taste in cars is poles apart. I pick "Man Steel" up on Saturday afternoon, in the deal I am getting a full detail of the car and a full tank on Diesel.
Looking forward to many adventures.:D

Well done on buying into the land Rover Experience. But Man Steel sounds like it should be towing a float in the Mardi Gras.

Yes must agree a name change is required.
Happy driving.

Sounds like a tidy truck with low k's for a 10 yr old vehicle. Enjoy! And post some pics.

Sounds very similar to my Defender. Same age roughly same km's etc only mine was almost $10k cheaper. I was just lucky enough that the previous owner was an honest chap who went with what red book said and didnt realise he could have gotten so much more for it.

After it stops raining drain all the water out and have some fun.

The trouble is older models with low K's are very hard to find.
