SteveG Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi Tony What's your budget? I found that 1-2 year old ones were overpriced. Picked up a 6 month old one with 7000 miles with GKN overdrive for 22,500. I reckoned that the extra warranty, lower mileage were worth the difference.

Exmoor Beast Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Has Val gone mad? Winston Pincombe in Chulmleigh may be worth a call, seems to have the Farming trade tied up on Exmoor. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yeovil one was £19995 inc vat when I called no mention of vat in any of their adverts on top ot the asking price. will do some chasing around tomorrow. If these people are advertising cars at a price and not mentioning VAT to be added they can sod off for my money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Think you will find was +vat, did check with them, when they listed it for sale, know them quite well as bought a few Lr,s from them, also Exteter had one as well, but did not mention the vat !!

The body and everything else is mint like new colour of your choice for 4.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 thanks for pointing that out then I will call them tomorrow to pass on my thoughts. Thanks Nick Val may be a little perturbed by having no doors though a new one is what she wants so that's what she'll have(well as new as possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots on LR site with price but when you phone up and pointedly ask about the VAT you find out it's plus VAT. Started to p**s me off as you'd waste effort phoning up etc for Defenders that were actually 3-4K above price shown. Also the variation between dealers can be big for nearly new and it seems to stem from how many Defenders they sell. Some just want them off their books. They have to take them in their allocation, have them as demos and then they want them off asap after 6 months. This is how I got the 90 for about 4K less than anywhere else. Others sell a lot of Defenders and therefore are happy to hold out. There will be a number of six month old '06 ones coming on the forecourts in September from dealers and LR fleet if you can wait a month. Took me about 2-3 weeks of keeping an eye on LR site and dealers own lists before I got mine. Missed a couple as sometimes the dealers are slow to add them on. But wait was worth it as it saved me about 2-3K on other available. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just been onto the dealer with the red one no movement on price whatsover. offered me less for ours than Yeovil L/R too just to add insult to injury. may just have to bide our time and keep looking PS prices on the Used L/R site are Inc VAT though according to the dealers I've spoken to today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnas Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I know it is well out of your area but this place always has a good turnover of stock and if they have 2 or more you are interested in may be worth the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landmannnn Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I would steer away from silver. I was looking at new a couple of years ago - the poor finish and wobbly panels really show up badly in silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Poor finish & wobbly panels," come as standard on defender, Best you don't look at the dark oslo blues ones, even worse, another reason i when for going silver this time !! current one looks better that the last !!
