Any idea of a valuation for a tidy 3.9 V8i 1994 Disco, 100k with most service history?

Looks a very tidy motor indeed.

It's worth what you want to pay for it (forget Glass's for LR products)

I know that bit pal! I was only looking for a rough guide, not an exact valuation!

He wants too much for it anyway, the reserve is £2400, it needs a new door frame (inner bit) & valley or
rocker cover gaskets. He also says the inner wings are a bit scabby. I might make him an offer of £1600-
£1700 & sort the bits myself! I dpoubt it will make it's reserve of £2400. Whats the score on inner
wings? Easy repair or a nightmare?

Here it is -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4578133348&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1

Go on then, how easy/hard are the valley gaskets to do? I suppose the door frame can be sorted easy
enough.

2 hours. It's a common job - the originals split along the center
sean. Replace with a composite, should last forever.

As for the motor. I'd offer 1,250 max.

knowledge!

I take it that you are desperate for a vehicle for the unofficial
meeting..... as I see you are the current highest bidder on the following:
RR 4.2 lse, RR P38, Disco V8..... also Porsche 911 (Like to see that going
round the off road circuit) could be an expensive unofficial if you win the
lot.

Have a look again, you'll find non are at reserve ffs. The 911 is for my next door neighbour who isn't on
eBay. The RRC's & Disco are for me, but they aren't at reserve so anyone could win & if folk dont bid
no-one will.

But, thanks for your concern at my financial status.

If the reserve isn't met doesn't mean that the seller *Could* sell to the
highest bidder, I've won a few things when the reserve hasn't been met,
sorry if I touched a nerve, happy bidding.

the seller ban make an offer to a lower bidder in that case. The bidder
isn't obliged to accept.

e.g. I offer a motor with a reserve of 2K, you bid to 1800. I can then
offer you the motor for 1800 (what you bid) but you have the right to ignore
me.

sometimes, this works. That's how I got Edward II - reserve was too high, I
was high bidder, we came to a deal, he made me an offer, I accepted.

they fetch a bit more if diesel and low mileage and with no faults. This is
none of those things :)

Nope, good point, but I don't really want a diesel, a big feck off V8 is what I need.

WTF are you on about? Do you even know how eBay works at all? A reserve is just that, if it doesnt reach
it, it doesnt sell.?????

Touch a nerve? I was asking a question, not having my buying patterns commented upon by you fella!

If folk don't actually use eBay in the way it supposed to be used, no fecker would sell anything would
they. How else do you find out reserves if you dont bid to your limit (without cheating I mean)

As I say, cheers for your concern over my finances, but I'm in control mate!

The way I see it is - I either keep Tyson & buy a cheaper V8 (like a Disco or RRC) around £1500, or I buy
a good LSE or cheap P38 (running costs must murder me on that one) & sell Tyson. I can't use a 110 with
235k on the clock to do any major miles on a road trip. I love it, but anything more than 100m is very
tiring & loud! The fastest I have got it to go is 70mph & that was downhill with the wind following (I
live in Yorkshire, all hills etc!)

I do use the 110 for work a hell of a lot more than I thought i would, it can haul some serious kit
around. The WRX just cant carry that kind oif load. I really like the WRX so don't want to get rid.

I think a nice clean RRC or Disco is a good buy as I can tow, do decent miles & carry me **** about. The
110 is then my toy!

I think the seller can offer to the highest bidder but the buyer is
under no obligation to buy. Unlike, in theory, if they win the
bidding.

Calm down Nige! No need to get worked up! I thought that everything
Otto said was perfectly resonable and sensible, youve just taken it
the wrong way!

If you don't want people to see what you are trying to buy then don't
use Ebay and link us to auctions you are bidding on!
You are in for a pretty expensive week though if you win that many
cars ;)

You do also know that if an auction ends and the reserve hasn't been
met you can always send the seller a message and ask them if they want
to compromise somewhere lower!
Most people tend to put stuff on ebay as they actually want to get rid
of it If the reserve hasnt been met then they obviously had it too
high. Many people are prepared to compromise.

I've been highest bidder on a few things that havent met the reserve
and have come to a compromise with the seller anyway and bought them.

Agree Nige, if I wasn't doing longish trips for work I'd have gone for
a Defender or similar rather than a newish/lowish mileage Disco II.

A 2hr/100mile drive to start a 12hr+ working day plus, sometimes, the
drive back home as well in anything that is noisy and/or uncomfortable
just doesn't bear thinking about. Mind I find the Disco II slightly
more tiring than the old '95 Mondeo, not sure why.
