Good luck finding a 300tdi for 2k thats not been stolen, butchered or falling to bits.

Ive looking at spending 5-6K on one and havent found a good un yet im willing to part with my cash for.
 
hi all :)
im 16 and of course driving is now about a year off and personally i think a landrover defender 90 with a 300i engine is the perfect first car for me because ive looked at various insurance quotes and they are not too high. i also love landrovers to bits and cant wait to get one. BUT i cant seem to find a landy thats around £2000 and i have looked at loads but all of the ones that are "perfect" seem to have some slight problems which will most likely turn into bigger ones later on.. or they have no rear windows. i would rather avoid any extra expenses as around £2000 is really really pushing it for my parents... i do not want the 1988 models because they are crap. just a defender 90 300i with a high milage (within reason) because i know landy's are very durable, and mainly aesthetic problems like cracking paint or rust.
:).. matt.

Where abouts are you?
I got mine at 16 last year. If I was you I'd be looking for a 200 not 300. Over 100,000 miles is no problem. The chassis is the major issue. Don't fall into the trap of going for looks and getting a knackered chassis.
You need to be able to work on it yourself or it will cost a fortune in maintenance.
If you're patient you can get a mint 200 for 2k, I did. To kit it out cost a lot more though obviously (Tyres and wheels were £400 new from a mate and they were very cheap).
PM me if you want.

Good point, few and far between.

Finding a decent Disco'll be hard enough too :p

Might be some in London area though :rolleyes:
prices have seriously dropped this last week or 2, Thainy's 300tdi didn't sell on ebay and he was only asking £1400 for a really clean, straight example.
 
At 16 years of age i would think theres more important things to spend money on ,so get to a modelshop and buy a model defender ,put it on your window sill and then spend a few years chasing women ,getting ****ed ,getting the t shirt so to speak and then one day you will wake up and think iv got the money and insurance status to afford a defender ,plus you gotta lot of years to do it !

Screw that. Get a Fender paint it yellow or orange and watch the girls line up.
