help me , i need therapy....

[roadkill]

Hi guys, im about to take the plunge and buy yet another land rover, i need a balanced opinion......

I am looking at a defender 96 td 4 , in good nick
it has a good history , and has 240, 000 odd ks
it has pretty much a the goods bar winch, lockers

has bull bar , full length rack, drive lights ect

so

is 10 K the right price??????????????

what would you do??????????

help

im...losing will power...must buy....landy....must by .....landy

Is this an obsessive compulsion?
How many LR's do you have?
Are you taking your medication?
Or do you just have exceptionally good taste?
10k sounds ok to me-especi if it is mech ok (have you had it checked out by a good landy man?) with those extras!..is there a hidden pitfall?
If after answering these questions u feel that you would benefit from therapy then I can link you in with a good rational/emotive counsellor to help you thru this.

Tell me about the first time you had feelings like this about landrovers........the shrink settles back with a knowing look on his face.........now can you talk about the impact this odd compulsion has had your life..........shrink decides to sell beamer and get defender that night.

18 months ago i brought a 95 for 14k roof rack, lockers etc, didn't get driving lights or winch though, if your confident on the mechanics than that a good price

$10,000 is a good price.

Grab it.

I thought the Td4 was a Freelander motor:p

I'll also make you envious and say I've just got a 98 Tdi Defender with less than 80,000km and all the fruit (winch, bars, cargo barrier, 6 new tyres etc) for only a few thousand more:D

mate, with all those goodies and at only 10 grand you can't go wrong!

grab it before someone else does! ;) :cool:

cheers,

TD4 is a Freelander engine, it must be a TDi

I wouldn't wory to much, roadkill, I once worked with a bloke who had seven goggomobiles of varying descriptions and his sound recordist had collected five skodas......

We used to employ a cine camera man who had five citroens including three 2cvs and a diane, the other was a ds23 (nice car).

i must learn to read the crap i type before pressing the go button!

it has a full length rack, lights front and back, a bul bar ,a few other bits.

nothing that you would call a modification

dont have winch :( or lockers:(...but they can be added :)

i have a series 3 that has seen some rough places, a needs some love ......aot of love, but is mech real good

also bought a old s 3 hard top for the gear box, so now it is a rooling wreck out the back.....my little boy willl be learning to drive in it!

I have spent about $3K so far in the last couple of years, mainly on the gear box, and am getting to that point where you say....for $^%$ sake how much more cash do i throw at this thing?

So hence the post, im pretty tight with cash, and after researching the defender, i feel ok, its like a time warp from what i have been driving, but am just nervous about getting a bill for $6 k if the engine gos kaput.......

anyone know how i feel?

The thing i like is the defender is a modern version of what ive got now, so i dont have any misconceptions about comfort/ sex appeal.....

Its nice to have a place to go where everyone knows your pain!
