Defender 90 (3-4k)
« on: July 19, 2005, 18:19:04 »
Hi- I'm new to the forum and am after a bit of advice. I'm looking to pick-up my first Defender 90 in the next couple of weeks and have a budget of 3-4k. Age isn't a problem- I'm after a second car/toy that I wont be dependant upon. Basically, what can I expect to get at that price and what should I be wary of.

Any advice gratefully received.

Dan

Tdi sounds like the more sensible option then!

But 30mpg @90p/l or 16mpg @ 30p/l and you have to think twice.

30p per litre?? Do you buy direct??

I am a complete novice here so I think I might have missed something...
