um... no, - the owners may ask that kind of money but what they end up accepting for it is quite a different matter

Exactly what I was thinking.

Pretty sure this. I've seen quite a few come through Gumtree (guess they prove too Industrial for many people once the afterglow wears off) asking for 15-18k.
They tend stay advertised for quite a while, often to reappear later with a much reduced price.

I think 12-15 is more reasonable for a GS, depending on condition, work done to it etc.

The 4 door hard tops are fetching insane prices though, I will give you that!

Yeah, I keep a close eye on the private market on these - the ones asking $18K plus for theirs advertise them month in, month out, as mentioned, 12 to 14 seems to be about right but I've seen them go for under 10 as well. There are GS 6x6's that are still for sale after 6 months for $21K - $18 would be closer to the truth for these, not the 4x4's.

There are way too many in the market now to drive the prices up that far. Mind you, once I buy one, I won't care if the price goes up after that...

It seems difficult to sell these vehicles for a high price in the private market, i think it's because although there is high demand for perenties amongst the enthusiasts, the group of people seriously interested in owning these vehicles is still small. Most people would rather have a car with a/c, power steering, a roof and many other things. And people looking to buy a perentie normally wont pay high private sale prices when there is still cheaper examples coming up for auction.. Perhaps when the auctions are over these exceptionally preserved models will increase in value

Hmmm. My Missus want's me to restore old Land Rovers as a kind of Semi-retirement occupation. She's sick of me doing shift work. I think I'll take up basket Weaving. I'll have a go at snagging a Perentie at Auction first though.
