Is the price right?

[IanMcCulloch]

Help! I'm trying to go about purchasing my first landy, but I can't find a guide to compare the price to. I'm looking at a 1990 defender 110 with a 3.5l V8. Its a 12 seater, and has about 120,000mi on it. It has some minor body rust(confined mainly to the underside of the drivers door)and a little bit of bubbling in the paint around the windows. It's going for 3995. Does this seem reasonable?

Is it a private sale or from a garage? What extras does it have? what is the general condition? does it have full service history? Do you have any pics?

 

[philatac]

I would say that was abit steep, like Ratty said, depends wot its got on it already

For that money it needs to be spot on with absolutely nothing wrong with it. The potential for it costing you another small fortune is always there in a vehicle of that age. You've got to look past the cosmetics and/or flashy accessories and find out if the important bits such as the chassis, bulkhead, engine and drivetrain are good. Then think of suspension, steering, bodywork etc. A lot of little jobs can end up as a hefty bill even if the basics are ok.

For that money lpg and service history and 24months warranty on all parts and labour.

Failing that £1500 TOPS.

typical cornish

mate bought a sound V8 90 SW of that age with LPG with half the mileage for 3k. But that was around 12months ago. Prices should be alot lower now.

seeing as you need to have a pre 1995 licence to drive a csw with 12 seats it aint worth squat.Like I said £1500 is bout right.
A 90 will always fetch more.

Agree with yer on the price but some people have got a proper driving licence so can't see that affectin the price too much. I can't be doing with station wagons meself if you want that stuff get a disco

 

[jimmm65]

yes that sounds a lot to me and if you dont need all the seats if seven will do get yourself a 7 seater disco much more comfortable than a defender better to drive and ride i got a jap import auto 97 300tdi 64000 on clock and it drives like new and with no rust whatsoever for under 2k and remember a v8 likes a drink "alot and often".

hi how is a 110 county smaller than a110? I thought county was a trim spec?

 

[hughesy]

All the space is taken up by them fookin seats. A 110 hardtop's got loads of room in the back and less doors to rot away while yer back's turned.

i ment a 110 is smaller than a disco!

 

[Griffdowg]

a disco is on a 100" chassis how is a 110 smaller?

 

[jimbot90]

a disco is on a 100" chassis how is a 110 smaller?

cos a 110 is 4599mm long and 1790mm wide,a disco is 4581mm long and 2189mm wide.makin a 110's surface area smaller than a disco's by about 1.5m,thats how!

 

[Griffdowg]

surface area maybe but its only 18mm (about the length of your cock ) longer. not much in it is there?

thats my hole point about the wife not wanting one!yu ****.also she thinks i'll be jackin it up n puttin big tyres n a rollcage on it like mi 90.

 

[Griffdowg]

so your arguing with the wife about swapping vehicles that are nearly 5m long on the basis of 18mm? are you a rivet counter? Im sure there are better things to be arguing about. lke who is cooking dinner etc.
