Right she's a 2006, 90 defender county station wagon. Two front seats, four individual back seats. CD player, central locking, big front 'bull bar' thingy, boost alloys four new tyres, full landrover service history, one previous owner, checker plate, central locking, air con, bulkhead removal bar, tow bar and side steps, never been off road or towed. mint condition interior. only done 20,000 miles and comes with 12mths tax and 12mths MOT.
Mine for £14,000.
It's a b it more than i'd hoped to pay, but as we'd only be looking to do around 3,000 miles a year through the winter, with a mileage that low and so well looked after, it could do us for the next 20+ years??
I was going to see a similar vehicle on Saturday which had less spec, was a 2000 model, had 90k miles and was £8,500
It will all hinge on the following
1. Insurance (fully comp)
2. road tax .... it's £400? odd, and i hate paying anything to the tax man!
3. Leg room, i am 6ft 3" and yet to sit in it, it has the bulkhead bar? and apparently a mud rail (£50) might give me an extra inch or two?
Probably go and see it Friday. It will be used all year round, but mostly during the snow and ice. I live down a two mile single track road which the last two winters has been impassible to the skoda! But for my work ford ranger we'd have starved, and the mrs wouldnt have got to work.
It's maybe not a 'real defender' to some members, but i can't wait to own one, and with such a low mileage this baby would be part of the family, hopefully for decades?
What d'ya think?
