From that description it's not a TD5 but a 300TDi, also it's the new 4 speed model

Baz.

I reckon it's definitely a TD5, as there is a big TD5 sticker onthe back door, but yeah - didn't notice the special 4 speed gearbox.

$ 3 to $5 grand.

but depends on whos there on the day

keep us posted on what it goes for\

Definitely a Series II so it's a Td5.


It's not a statutory write off so I'd suggest around the $5000 mark.
It might even have a reserve but you won't find out until the bidding happens.

The TD5 ONLY came with a 4speed auto or a 5 speed manual didnt they.The one in the picture is a Disco2 TD5.
BUT you want to make sure the picture shown is the vehicle described.
Pickles in Perth had a burnt Freelander(by discription) but the pictures were of a burnt Disco.
$5000 would be a good price,fairly low ks so you would make money on wrecking it,I would say too expensive to repair,not alot of straight panels left.

I reckon between 3-5k, i definitely wouldnt go over 5k. I would be ringing around the wreckers to see what the parts that are still good on that vehicle go for that would give you some indication of how much money you would make if you bought it for a set amount. Its definitely a TD5 and my guess is they either meant 4 speed auto or its a typo and they meant 5 speed manual. Matt

Hey, I'm not proud, I'll drive it as is, just need the Drizabone occasionally.

The description does say AUTOMATIC
The motor would have to be worth $5000,another $2000 for the gearbox/transfer,then the rest of the major bits and other stuff.
If you are good with tools it culd be a good little earner.
