    Without knowing the service history or price it is hard to say.
    But if the price is right the things are built to outlast civilisation so it may be worth while, just be prepared to do some work on it.

    Offered as a gift? Offered for sale?

    Not uncommon to have head issues at around this age. Not necessarily, but worth finding out how well it has been kept.

    Defenders tend to be cheap until they get expensive.

    Get a really thorough inspection done by a LR specialist, or take into account possibly very expensive repairs.

    130 that have been driven over hard roads can get chassis cracks around the back.

    Not uncommon, too, for high Km Defenders to be chugging along with no troubles at all. I think the bottom line is, that if it's been well taken care of it is likely to be fine, if it's been thrashed and neglected it is going to be a problem.

    My '96 130 is one of the latter - previous owner - and I have been paying for it ever since.

    Cheers
    Simon

    I have one for sale which is advertised in Aulro here AULRO Classifieds - Message - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds
    Whilst I apreaciate you are on the Gold coast it may help to do comparisons. I haven't got around to advertising it for sale except for on Aulro but it is shameful to just to have it sitting there just looking pretty. They are a hoot to drive you will love it! Best of luck.

    I sold my 2001 TD5 Dual Cab for $20k Too cheap I think, although it had done 267,000 kilometres. It also had a powerchip fitted and was an awesome piece of kit.

    The new owner was happy with it
