bargain or not!!!

[sas pinkie]

I think I have got the steal of the century with my new rover, a 1999 T reg 110 td5, 99,000 miles and it has only just had a new gearbox. No oil leakes AT ALL :shock:  and there is absolutley no rust on it either :shock: . The interior still looks brand new. It is ex Environment agencies, and has a full dealer service history.

I have secured all this for the princley sum of £4000.

What do you guys think, is it a good price or is this actually only an average price for ex utilities highish milage 110 TD5's?

[90Adam]

Seems like an excellent deal to me! I would have though they would be about double that!

[Magnum335]

A little below average i would say. But it will have been well looked after and it sounds in great nick, so it sounds like u have an above average vehicle at a below average price. That = Good Deal :D

[TDi90]

BARGAIN! where did you get that from ? as your not far from me!

[sas pinkie]

Bromley..... a Truck specialist. I will ask when I pick it up if he is intending on getting any more for that money.

I was right with my prediction then...... So what is the average price you would expect to pay for my new toy then?

[TDi90]

for that one... without seeing it... high 8k maybe 9K

:shock:  8)

[Magnum335]

8 or 9?!!?!? no chance mate.

Maybe 5 or 6.

Td5's arent holding their value.

I take it your not paying the VAT on it.There happens to be one on Autotrader from the same firm which is down as a TDi not TD5.

you think?

accident damaged ones up here are going for 3-4K

[Magnum335]

At that higher mileage?

Search on auto trader for round here only reveals lower mileagae ones for 8k or so. Two years ago i turned down a 90k mile Td5 for 8995 dues to the miles. And that was two years ago and at a place thats known for overcharging!

Mike come down here if you want one!

[Nick666]

Managed to get my 2001 TD5 110 hardtop with 80k miles on it for just under £7000, but that was including vat... but then I was dead pleased with the price. Anything from a dealer (not LR, they'd be way more) was probably a thousand more at the time.

[muckmoses]

No oil leaks you say!!!

That means it's time to top it up then!!!

[sas pinkie]

you could be right!!! :D  It is gonna be odd  not seeing patches of black marking its parking space, as the Pinkie drops an oil slick where ever she goes.......   :shock:

[90Adam]

i looked in the back of LRO and the defender centre have some ex agency 110's and they are a few thousand more than yours.

[Magnum335]

I think we are all agreed its still a bargain yes?

[Guardian.]

BARGAIN OR NOT (AND I THINK IT WAS), ALL THAT MATTERS IS YOUR HAPPY WITH IT. :D  :D
