Hi guys. I unfortunately bought a 90 from Image 4x4 and I agree with others on here that the guy is a complete nightmare to deal with. No updates on progress as promised when he took my money as a deposit. Never answered emails or his phone when calling him. Eventually got my 90 which ended up about 2 month overdue from date I was meant to receive. Workmanship is shoddy to say the least. Sent it back to get resprayed and now 2 years on I've ended up with a paint flicking, rusting Land Rover that nearly cost me 20k This company use second-hand parts with a lick of paint to make them look good. Even the paint is flicking off my wheel as they were silver sprayed black. Guys keep your money and do your research for good Land Rover company's. By the way I'm not a guy that usually slates off company's but my experience with this was a stessfull nightmare.

20k for a 90? You've had yer pants pulled good or not.
Was between 15k and 20k that's why I said nearly. If you look at their adverts now they are listed at 22k which people are clearly still paying hence the reason for so many unhappy people.
And yet customers keep handing there money over to a company that has gone bust and trading in new names every 2 years ,,,.
This is life savings for a lot of people ,
And the horror stories keep coming .
Be nice to see photos off people on here who have purchased vehicles off the company and the workmanship or lack of it .
Should be one for channel 4 and rouge traders this company .
Another question; how can they keep trading in a name which no longer exists??

Maybe , he is just an astute buyer who shopped around and did not get taken for a ride.
Cheers
Maybe Maybe.....but as I said you don't get much for 3k.

Paid a little over 5k for our little “mud ball slug” no rust. They are around
Some people just rush in and think a high price and a “fancy trust me seller” means they are going to get a good one
I am sorry to say it but there will be more. But I do feel sorry for the guys that get conned
and I am not trying to rub it in mate, but there are bad guys who will and do take advantage.J

No it is not rotten. I spent a year looking for the right one. I was in the right place at the right time with cash.

When the tratter stopped production the cheapest model int UK market were about £25k plus vat. There were 3 special edition models towards the end with higher prices. Sellers thought they had a comparative vehicle. They didn't. We laffed on ere at the condition and the prices they asked for. For some daft reason owners started adding £10k ter prices. They talked up the sale price but never told us what it actually sold for. No where near the eggstra £10k.
If yer recondition a tratter yerself yer save on labour charges. It still costs a lot ter buy replacement bits if doing a chassis swop.
The garage discussed on this fred is a business with business coats of running. The price they charge isn't comparative ter a new tratter. The price is for the recondition to put it on the road in good condition. Problem is the condition isn't reported to be good value fer money. The cost of doing this work will always be high.

The labour cost for a garage to recondition a defender compared to supplying a crate of new parts to build one is where the cost escalates...it takes longer to strip an old rusty bucket of sxxt down than it does to re-build with nice new clean parts...
Agreed.
But by the sounds of it this particular mob does neither
J
Yup...agree...
But as a business owner I cant comprehend how people con clients and also shirk responsibility...just this year a customer found a piece of foil in our fudge when he got back to the UK and emailed us not to complain but to alert...it transpired that the foil that the chocolate is wrapped in is now thinner and rips so we now reverse the liquid to solid mix to do dry chocolate so we can check for foil before liquids go in...he refused a box of replacement fudge sent to UK saying he will be back in Feb next year to buy more...
