    Tempted.

    I know I've said I wouldn't buy another Landie until LRA smartened up and got dealers or some decent service centres outside the metro WA area which could do warranty work, but I'm sorely tempted!
    Spotted a Puma Defender in a Tojo dealers at $48990 drive away with only 5300klms on the clock.
    It's supposedly a trade on a lesser vehicle because of marital probs. and the neccesity to realise some funds to pay off the soon to be ex-wife of somebody.
    It's a 2009 build and totally unmarked but with no extras of any kind.
    So I had a quick look on Wednesday and went back again today and they've dropped the price to $46990!
    The cook may kill me and as someone said on Sunday (before I'd seen this vehicle) "May I remind you that you sold a Defender not long ago".
    That was after I said I'd been talking to a salesman at the stealers a few days previously.
    Oh woe is me, what to do? Risk a painful death when the cook cuts off my beer supply or do the deed and buy?
    HELP.
    Alan.

    Just give in. You know you want to.

    And as said, its easier to beg forgiveness than permission. Just buy her something nice too

    Totally agree. She would love any of the following, I'm sure, and it would make for a seamless transition from stealer to driveway:

    A subscription to Land Rover Enthusiast magazine;
    Top Gear Polar, Vietnam and Botswana dvd's;
    Fifty Things a Good Housewife Can Do For Her Man;
    A life size poster of Keira Knightley to hang in the workshop....

    Sorted...

    "Can you afford it"! Who said that? How dare they! Of course the Cook may have to do without one or two things for a while, but then I'm sure she'll appreciate it..........one day.
