Dunno about the odometer, just mentioning what I saw. Defenders tend to have hard lives, and it's best to be ruthless in your scrutiny when purchasing.Quote:

It says it's a 200Tdi in the Ad. I'd have thought $13,000 was a bit pricey for a 1993 model even with a winch and twin fuel tanks but it depends a lot on the Kms (which curiously they don't mention:p). Although the price does say negotiable. That rusting fairlead is a bit of a concern i.e. what else up front is rusted?
If it were me I'd negotiate! Good luck.
i say its a good price, if the condition is good or better.
in melb it would easily get 13k, espec with winch, twin tanks.
if it was at the auctions with a light roll on the side it would still get 7-8k.
comes down to mechanical condition, or should i say wear.
flanges, diff centres, transfer/certre diff, lt77 should have mainshaft oiler conversion(check service records) rust in chassis, firewall, door frames.
a pre purchase inspection by a rover workshop would be the sealer.;)

ps rusty fairlead means its been used and check k's. you only usually see utes with no accessories in the 10-13k range.
I paid a bit less for my '94, which was in good condition for the year save one spot of rust, but that didn't have a winch or extra tank, but did have a full length alloy roofrack.
Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a pre-purchase inspection near Burpengary? Just had a quick peekin your supliers section, most of you seem pretty happy with M R Automotive at Redcliffe. Is there anywhere closer to Burpengary?
PS,what's the fairlead? I assume it's the rusty bar you can see on the front of the winch? Hope this isn't to stupid a question ... :confused:
the rollers on the bullbar that direct the winch line/wire onto the drum.

MR would be the closest, $75 and it covers the main sharft, a good investmentQuote:

Yeah, I've had a look at Redbook, but I generally don't have too much faith in their prices. They often seem to be wide of the mark, in either direction. That's why I asked you guys! :D
