sgnas Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) Late 300TDi 60000 genuine miles 2 owners, last one a lady for 6years and 40000miles FSH, some main dealer, with receipts All MOTs Never towed a trailer Used off road but no chassis damage Spotless interior, filthy underneath but no leaks Full county interior, 10 seats all with belts A bit older than I wanted but good miles and WAY under budget Quiet You can hold a conversation with a passenger (even in the back) at 70mph All 5 doors are good with a little rust appearing on the fronts( A 2000MY I looked at had the rears repaired already!) Bad points Isn't cambelt due at 60000 Rear brake pads need replacing damage to sill on passenger side needs a new ariel Those 8 spokes have to go (only Boost or Deep Dish alloys are rated for the 110??) The stickers are very faded, they may have to come off I keep forgetting to turn the alarm off before I get in! Already proved usefull as it took 8 people to a restaraunt the 2nd evening I had it. Swapped the wheels and tyres for BFG All Terrain off the other Landy tonight as I want to rack up a 1000 miles quickly to see what falls off/breaks so I can get a service arranged Edited May 16, 2006 by sgnas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The cam belt is due at 60k OR after a number of years... 4 or 5? ... so it should have been done at least once already. If you do not know when it was done last then it is well worth having it done sooner rather than later. See the tech archive for a "How to" guide.

Steve Hiatt Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 If I were in the market that is exactly what I would buy in preference to a new one. Good luck, looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgnas Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 [COUGH]£8500[/COUGH] I couldn't find anything else that age for the price, let alone with the low mileage. I think it needs about £500-£600 spent on it. Major service inc cambelt. Towbar Dog/Load bay guard. As long as I don't get extravagant with accessories like alloys and chequerplate I should be quids in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I don't get extravagant with accessories like alloys and chequerplate I should be quids in. that sounds like a fair price, there seams to be no patern to the price of used landrovers, i paid £2200 last month for a 100K 96N disco in a private sale, yet have seen similar vehicles at 'specialist 4x4 dealers' going for 5K+ as for defenders, they seam to be even more unpredictable, with some dealers in the mags trying to get 12K for P reg ones!!!
