I might have bought a 90 today...

[spudboy]

Seems I have got myself a 90 at last. Now I have to wait until Monday until I can fly up to Sydney to see it in person, and hopefully drive it back to Adelaide.

Couple more photos:

Gawd - don't do that !

Then I'd have to fly to Sydney for no reason :(

Nice looking unit.

Have a great drive back to Adelaide. If you're coming thru Geelong drop in for a coffee and a chat.

Nice one!!!! Congratulations. Looks really nice

[JamesH]

Awesome little car.

And if you do actually like it then the trip back will be a lot of fun. I'm thinking via Birdsville & Lake Eyre...

[MickS]

Saw that and was very tempted to get it for my daughter....good luck to you mate, well done!!

[long stroke]

You lucky bugger:angel:

I don't feel sorry for you guys at all!! There are zero for sale in SA, and I can 't remember seeing one here for the last 6 months or so. All the action is over in the East.

Will be driving it straight back to SA (via Hay plains I guess - yawn) but next weekend a group from the SA LR Register are going to a place called Loveday (up near Barmera) which is apparently very muddy :twisted:

I was going to take the Disco, but now am thinking it would be a good first outing for the 90.

[GrahamH]

Congratulations David, I look forward to seeing it on a club trip soon - maybe Loveday.

[spudboy]

Hi Graham - haven't seen you on here for ages. So far I have only paid a deposit, and I can back out if I don't think it is up to scratch when I inspect it, but I'd be pretty upset if they have told me any lies.

Plane fare to Sydney was $119 with Qantas, so not a huge loss financially if I come back without it, just the waste of a day.

See you next weekend if you are coming up to Loveday.

Cheers

[GrahamH]

As it happens I'll be in Sydney next week for work, flying home Wed night. Maybe I could arrange to be your co-pilot for the trip home if you buy it!

[Newbs-IIA]

Congrats :D I saw your other thread on this 90 - did you get the price down to where you wanted it?

[V8Ian]

Nice looking unit.

Sydney - Adelaide via Geelong? :o Must have an upside-down map reader navigating.:p:D:D

[spudboy]

Actually - I wouldn't put that route past my missus :D

Depends which way she rotates the maps as we drive along.....

Good stuff, re the above outing, I would counsel everyone to drive nice and orderly as Im sure everyone will, but I may see some of you due to a CAMPAIGN I AM ROSTERED TO BE WORKING ON IN THE AREA over that weekend.... cant say anything though...:angel:

>>>>>> DONT SPEED ETC TRAFFIC BLITZ SUPPOSED TO BE ON, iM ROSTERED IN IT FROM a spot between blanchetown and barmera starting with W!! TO GO UP AND DOWN HIGHWAY AND SIDE ROADS, SO IM SURE OTHERS WILL ALSO BE- LOTS OF PLAIN CARS AND A PLAIN BIKE!<<<<

Have a great outing etc!!
cheers

[spudboy]

Well, if you see a Grey 90 poot'ling along then feel free to pull me over an have a chat (long as you don't book me for anything!).

[martinozcmax]

Noice, my ultimate dream car. If you don't mind me asking how many clicks and how much? (PM if you'd prefer) :confused:

Well done mate, it looks great.

[spudboy]

Well I know everyone will say I paid too much, and I reckon I have paid a couple of grand over the odds, but they were asking $40K for it, so I offered $35K, and after a couple of days of haggling and me not budging they agreed on $35K.

It has 3 months warranty which is excellent (applies down in Adelaide too, which is important to me), and 85,000Kms on the clock. Full LR service history, and every service done spot on time. 80,000Km service done, which is a big one I think.

One owner. More LR accessories than you can poke a stick at (and all genuine LR, even the sheepskins are genuine LR!!).

The "Xtreme" stickers should have been removed today, and I will probably remove the sidesteps and put on something more substantial.

Other than that, I plan to leave it "as is".

Might go back to skinny tyres (7.50R16 Michelin XZLs) on steel rims, but that's about it.

Cheers
David

Sounds like a good deal to me. I'd have been happy paying that. She looks great and if you love it then it's worth it to you. Low k's and a deefer, you won ! :D :D

I supposedly overpaid for my Disco D1 according to the book value when i bought it 19 months ago however the engine had been rebuilt and she was on lpg and Diesel and I love it.

She's not missed a beat and is cheap to run and service myself. I consider it a bargain and am very happy.

Enjoy !

Regards

Martin

[Grover-98]

Congratulations! very tidy 90 :)

[purples3t]

Well done, looks a lot nicer than my 1988 4c 90....but i dont care if i scratch mine...

[Offender90]

Congratulations on the purchase, and welcome to the 90 club!

A very tidy looking unit indeed. Like the colour too!

We eventually plan to move back to Adelaide, so I'll be bringing mine accross in a year or two.
