shudders at the memory of going to there.....
keep you eyes peeled and look around....but prices for 'fenders are high compared to say a disco
wonder why tho.....
I think you will be looking at mid $20s-$30k for a 99-03 model and $30 to high $30s for a 04-05 model. No where near red book but this is what they want and are selling for. Look for one with plenty of accessories. I have toyed with the idea of swapping mine for a similar model Disco TD5 autoas long as it has the same accessories, but the Fender is worth more to sell.
yeah...having sold a Disco to get a fender i understood that bit...but compareed to the disoc most folks would steer well away from them......
usually if the sheeps follow one thing the resale of it drops as dealers want to off load it. i found this was the case with my Neon......
ah well.....looks like i'll be keeping mine for a while...yipeeeee
Not sure if your chasing one, but theres a 99 TD5 110 for sale in the WA LROC mag. There asking $26,500 comes with a fair bit of fruit as well. I can PM you the phone number if your interested.
Cheers Iggy
Its OK Dawg I have just done it and asked my wife to give me a good spanking.:o:o
I love my Fender but its not the most comfortable long distance touring wagon for my wife the passenger, but a great 4x4. Toyed with the idea of pulling out the air con and putting in a roof mouted one as the air con is the main fault.Previously owning a Disco, with a bit of work they are a great all rounder as is a Rangie. There is a diesel Rangie on Ebay at the moment I would like, but getting a bit long in the tooth.
I think we will have the Fender for a while yet. The new one has got me interested though. If only I had not boughtthe missus a Statesman.;)
