Do I sell or invest?

Hello to all!
A new member here wanting some advice...
I have recently bought a 97 300tdi station wagon. ( of which I learnt to drive in 16 years ago!) from a family friend. It's in great nick with 90000 on the clock.
What a I looking at it being worth? Is it worth a 1500 quid tidy up and keep for possible rise in price or sell now for quick investment.
All information welcome
cheers !

depends what a 1500 quid tidy up entails.

and wether you actually want a land rover or just think its a way to make money.

I'd keep it. What did you pay for it?

You could sell it for 5k any time you want. Feasibly more depending on the details.

It has a super winch and a full roof rack part service history fully wax oiled and garaged for the last 5 years

I see the confusion, I was confused by 2k but I see that's how much you paid for it

Yes, 2k. I've wanted one for years and have a new DMAX for work. All I'm asking is weather to invest in this one.. Or sell on and buy a td5 or newer..? Cheers!

If you got that for £2000 and it's clean underneath and runs you did very well and as said you could sell it for £5000 all day long

Just practicing loading videos.

Given the choice of a 300tdi or a td5, both in equal condition, personally, id choose the 300.
It took me some time to find my 300tdi 110 csw at the right price. Whilst i was looking, i saw td5s, but i was not interested.


It strikes me that, with all respect, you are being a fool - youve wanted one for years, youve found a nice one, for not a lot of money - and instantly youre talking about selling it???

Thanks for your honesty. I'm very much one for gathering perspective before making a choice. I also like to keep and look after vehicles for a long time. I'm just picking on the sites users brains for better information on value and views on older vs newer, and weather to invest in something older or buy closer to the end of production date for this model (110)... in the long run, I won't sell when I've made my decision.

+1 for the 300 over the TD5. I have a 200TDI and I wouldn't change it.
