I'd swap yours with mine. Mine gets scared on the childrens Scooby Doo roller coaster in Warner Brother Movie World.Quote:

Shall I return it to near standard or leave it as is? I've still got the original bumper in top condition so that could go back with just new front mudguards bits necessary as they were cut to fit it. RWC could come off with no problems. Rhino rack the same. Chuck out my homemade storage system in the back. Otherwise there's not much needs to be done to it and it's still in top unmarked condition.
Horrid decision to make but I may just have to join the darkside........ :(

Depends where you live.
I was searching for my car for a little while and honestly never looked at a single D4 that has a bullbar or rear wheel carrier, because I didn’t like the look. I suspect most people in Sydney or other cities will think the same
in the country I suspect they’d want one on already.
My opinion is different now but same result, I like the look but still wouldn’t buy one all kitted out because I know that car has worked harder than those in the city
Not necessarily. Mine is fully kitted out but is babied along, whether that be in the city or in the bush. With regular servicing and updating, I venture to say it is better maintained and serviced than any dealer serviced car. And probably in the top percentage of Landrovers being properly driven.Quote:

But a car that has been prepared by an experienced Landrover owner will almost certainly be a good buy.
In any event, a little time spent just looking underneath the car will tell you everything you need to know about how it was driven.
So do I... anything more than a merry go round is too much for me... 🤮Quote:

I always look for clean non modified vehicles when i buy, a bar wouldnt put me off but muddies and other offroad oriented gear would unless i was looking at a cheap high mileage vehicle knowing full well it was well used.
It's all about condition of the vehicle for me, starting with low KMs of course. If it checks out then all those accessories save a tonne of money and hassle. And don't forget there's heaps of people who 'think' they need every accessory just to drive on a bit of gravel. Advertise it correctly and you'll do fine. If it's been meticulously maintained then say so and give some details of that. Give details of its use...towing etc. If you have an Indy your on good terms with then give a true interested buyer his contact details. All this will help you demand full price when the haggling starts. Good luck.
I think its all case by case basis really, some have said they would look the other way thinking its been harder used etc, i would look at it more, new accessories are very expensive and can easily ad 5 - 10k to the price of the car which probably isn't sitting in your wallet after a purchase, if i was going to put the car on finance id rather it finished the way i want, then no out of pocket expense, id rather pay that 5-10k off per week then in a lump sum, but that's just me.
I generally think people that add accessories and use there cars are a bit more savvy with looking after them, getting oils changed more etc, again that's just me.
If you were selling to me id wish all the gear was on there, some other people none at all. I think as addressed the thing you need to do is get the ad photos right, pay the extra, put 30 photos up, link it to a youtube clip etc.
