Lightning Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 My local dealer has a "cancelled MOD order" of Defender 110's....the new Ford engine/new interior. They have delivery mileage only and are the basic 110 Station Wagon with 5 seats, loadspace in the rear, heavy duty towbar, steel wheels, chunky tyres, and in a sort of forest green colour. They are asking £18500-19000 for them (there are 17) and is this a good price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It sounds pretty keen to me. You could pay that for a 3 year old one. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Rogers Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Also heard of this "cancelled MOD order" , and trying to remember why ??Good price, so long as that's Vat inclusive !! does sound good, do you know any details of the MOD order? They may have a few more MOD quirks, like 24v electrics in places esp for trailers and radio kit. anyone wanna lend me £18k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrumps Scrumps I very much doubt it. Every one knows that we are the poor relations when it comes to budgets. I tried to exchange a shirt back along. Come back in a couple of months when we get some stock in. My boss has been waiting 6mths for a new Cbt helmet. Just because we aren't an active service unit we're even lower down the list.

Lightning Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 The price includes VAT...so if you are VAT registered (I am not sadly) you could claim the VAT back. I looked on their website and there is a picture of one....it's done 3000 miles though. They said the delivery mileage ones were nearer £19000 and those with a few miles were nearer 18. It's called "Marple Road Garage" and is near Stockport, UK. Please note I have absolutely nothing to do with this garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Pointy Thing Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yes that's a fantastic price! works out to about 20% discount the dealers "margin" is only 10%, so it's certainly more than you'll get off one anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top90 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 10%? I managed to get 13% of my 90XS I was around that figure too after some help from MJIbex on this forum. If that figure includes VAT it does seem good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yep, Got 13% and a few bits and bobs thrown in as well. Then they delivered it fot free from Peterborough to Wiltshire and then filled the fuel tank up for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I meant, if the station wagon price includes VAT that this thread is about it seems good. Sounds like we got similar deals, but I had to collect mine. Mind you, after reading on here I told them if the underseal was carp I wouldn't take it. It got the best coating of any defender I've had ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotian Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 You'd probably have to change the tyres for road use? You've got to be kidding. they are positivly road tyres with only a tiny bit of off road capability in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
