Spec... High or low?

Drogo · Aug 28, 2014

Well indeed the screen price is a touch odd and would agree trade price is about £600. It appears to have some repair panels already on it so if we said it was sound rust-wise what would we say? In the region of a grand?

I don't understand why you would pay any more than 'trade price'? After all, is this seller going to offer any worthwhile after sales services????

Buy cheap then fix up?

Well as I said it depends how its looking. And of course I would like to buy at trade price and will endeavour to negotiate toward it however a dealer whos happy to sell their cars at trade isnt going to remain a dealer for long. Its the same as the parts - if you saw what the auto factors paid for some of their parts you'd cry.

Well for anyone interested.... I OWN A LAND ROVER! WOOOO! So interestingly went looking at a low spec S... It was OK but fair amount of rust, interior was fairly grim generally didnt 'feel' right. So feeling a bit dejected after driving over an hour to see it went dowb the road and bought a 97 XS Auto! Here is a quick shot at the dealer. Onto the list of fixes etc and will get some more shots and a post about my doings soon.

Fantastic news! Get some more pics up when you can! Nice colour too.

Enjoy it

Also, is that a Ferrari air freshener?! The previous owner was obviously deluded

That looks very nice Tom, hope you didn't pay too much for it. XS is a nice trim level.

Yeah the Ferrari airfreshner was obscure and now resides happily in the bin. As for the cost.... Well its only money, I can always make some more!

Well done, but why is your XS not fitted with front fog lamps? It was a standard fixture on the 97 XS along with deep-dish alloy wheels and wheel arch protectors.

Indeed it would appear that it is a Jap import and as such very minimal rust. So now need to start a list of things that need doing to it... Obviously gonna service and look over the rust situation. Rear window Seals are looking a bit worse for wear - will patch them up for the short term.

Spec... High or low?
