    Im gutted - Rant

    Well we went to look at a nice defender 110 yesterday.. made an offer told we had a deal. was going to drop a deposit of today of a reasonable 10% after work. Deal was we would let him keep it as long as he needed it. Also that we would get a mechanical check done just as peice of mind. but unless it was anything major we would of definitly bought it.

    well just got a call and he has sold it to someone else. I'm Gutted as we were planning on using it over xmas and thought we had things sorted. These things dont come up very often over here.

    Make me lose faith in humanity some times..

    So if anyone knows of a defender 110 for sale PLEASE let me know... ASAP.

    A very very unhappy

    Steve

    Thats just not right, a deal is a deal! When I sold vehicles in the past i always kept my word. If others were interested in the vehicle, then I would put them in line if the original buyer pulled out.

    Unfortunately thats the world we live in now.

    On a seprate but similar not, last night a bunch of young imbeciles walked past our street and once again snapped the mirror of some other vehicle (not mine this time!!) I got up and went outside (it was 12:30am) but they were a block away.

    What years and engine are you looking for and how much do you want to spend?

    I'm always on the look so will keep an eye out.

    ideally 99 onwards... with a td5 (yes im mad as we have a td5 in the family already!) budget is flexible but not extreme...

    will consider older tho... all down to condition etc..

    Thanks for that...
