Thread: Good price for a 93 Defender?

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). 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 ...

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 investment

Dont forget the timing belt.

It would want to be in good nick for that price.
