Aren't you glad you don't have to buy her a corrolla???? Just think of how far the thing would get on the way to the west on those northern roads...Defenders only for that area..

Just like the rest of us I guess. Good thing she has taste, pity she has no sense.
:D:D:D

she is 21 she old enough to make her own decisions and if she going to Derby for a year of nursing she will quickly learn about the facts of life living without her parents care and protection

Get her one quick ron.
At least you know it will still be worth something at the end of the year.
The advantages of a Corolla are cheap on fuel and cheap to maintain, provided it is driven carefully only on good bitumen roads.
The advantages of a Defender are well known. Cheap on diesel, excellent on unformed roads (plenty of them up there) and a big bonus : You can fit a decent bullbar to allow for errant skippies, etc.
Resale on either will be very dependant on condition.
Send her through the Alice and we will look after her Land Rover for her...
Buy her one. My sis had a landy as her first car.It was a seris 3. Dad said if you can drive that you can drive anything. Also safer for her to drive in . As everyone got out of her wayQuote:

Given a 'fender is not a Ferrari in the speedy dept.
If my 15yo wanted one I'd say go for it.
Much better than a Hyundai = dead kid.... been there....

If she heads up there in a Corolla she will be land locked in a small town - like being under house arrest. Give her the Defender so she can get out and about. You don't want her hanging around with the kind of people that just loitter around outback towns.
