What's it worth

[triso]

G'day
(i'll get this stuff in the right place one day, thanks dullbird :D)

I'm after your opinion on how much you would pay for this landrover just going by the add, it's a 1984 model

Imported Landrover County 110 tray same as Defender but with stronger engine, tough go anywhere truck with 3.9L izuzu diesel(same as the australian army uses) constant 4WD, difflocks (maxi lock) front and rear, HD axels and diff housing, aux long range tank, wing protectors, winch, bullbar, sidesteps, checker plate roof over tray (strong enough to camp on or for heavy loads) tray and tyres are getting a bit old

What do you reckon?
any input would be grate
Thanks!

Not really enough information to give a figure. Several points to think about:-

1. It may actually be a 120" wheelbase, which immediately raises its value.

2. The Isuzu engined 110 is perhaps the best of the "utility" Landrovers, although some would make that the Isuzu engined Series 3.

3. Utilities are generally worth less than wagons, everything else being equal.

4. It is nearly 25 years old, and at that age, condition is all important - and virtually nothing given on that. Important points would be rust, accident and offroad damage.

5. The Isuzu should be good for anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000km, provided it is looked after. The gearbox and rear axle are pretty tough and little trouble is to be expected, although the gearbox probably needs work by 400,000km, or a lot less if abused. Everything else is fixable at reasonably low cost.

6. These are quite rare, which means the market is very thin, so there is not really such a thing as a going price.

Bearing in mind the above, if it is in reasonable shape, roadworthy, and no imminent work needed, expect to pay a minimum pretty close to $5000, and up to $10,000 if it is a good example and a second buyer is chasing it. A real dog could go as low as a couple of thousand, but you probably would not want it. And remember point (6)!
