Show me around your Puma 90? ACT

[Jake93]

Hi all,

Basically for the last 3 years I've been hot and cold about purchasing a 90 defender, and have made a number of posts on the forum in regards to them over the years.

I'm very close to committing to one but all the ones I've been interested in are interstate and none local in the ACT.

Before I go look at said 90 interstate I would love the opportunity to have a look at one/drive one locally so I know what I'm in for, given that I have only ever sat in 1.

Obviously I realise I'm asking quite a lot and would be extremely grateful if someone is happy to show me around their vehicle.

Thanks,

I have come from driving minis (classic) for the past 6 years and the last couple of months i have wanted a defender,
I drove down to Canberra mid November and purchased a 90 after taking it for a short test drive, Never sat in one before this drive but fell in love!
You wont regret buying one!

Funny how the world works isn't it, haha. The only ones I can find are interstate yet you came here to purchase one! classic.

Is your's the white one that was for sale at Lennock in Phillip?

Yeah that was the one, He said he had it for about a week but i wasnt sure.
It was sold through them new and owned by a local.

I was watching a few 90's in W.A which were about 4-5k cheaper but they all seem to have sold.

Yeah nice one, I was going to have a look at that one for exactly the reason I've posted about but was gone before I had a chance.

It seems most are for sale in WA, did everyone that works over there in a mine just decide one day they were all going to buy 90 defenders? the amount over there is ridiculous, however, the one I'm currently looking at is in Vic.

im in wa and struggled to find a late model D90 over here late last year.
ended up buying one from sydney. not only did i buy it sight-unseen, but i'd never even sat in one.
previously i had an RRS so was expecting it to be a little different...
it drives exactly as everyone said, noisy, slow, uncomfortable and with 1940's "ergonomics". but it has character in spades and i love it to bits. it's even endeared itself to my wife following her initial dislike.

do it
