Should I buy a Defender?

If you're on a budget, and you want a Defender, then you could go for a 1980's Ninety. It's pretty much the same as a Defender, they just hadn't come up with the "Defender" badge yet.

If speed's not too much of an issue (no Defender is fast) and you want a bulletproof engine, I believe the naturally aspirated 2.5 petrol is very reliable. And they don't tend to be very expensive. Easy to work on, too.
 
Hi there.
Have been considering getting a 90 but not sure if its a good idea or not.
Have a max budget of about £2500 and I'm not sure if I'll get a decent one for that amount?
I don't mind something that has few running repairs needed. I'm handy enough with the spanners so its not too big a deal.
I want to get back into offroading you see, so while a Suzuki would be cheaper as an offroad toy its just not going to cut it as a daily driver, especially considering the nearest pay and play site to me is about 3 hours away and the weekly shop is a 100 mile round trip.
(even though I used to drive 4 hours each way for a days offroading back when I had an SJ)
. Don't need a car during most of the week so commuting isn't a problem.
So basically I wan't a Defender because no matter how uncomfortable the SJ was, a Defender has to be at least a bit better without compromising offroad ability.
What do you guys think? Am I mad?
Cheers

No, no way, just dreaming. :rolleyes:
 
The doors int felled oft and you know it. It's a myth and nothing more. A Freelander owner once washed his Freelander then reversed oft the drive with the door open. A wall or bollard bent the door open too far. Thats all. I'm so confident my doors won't fall oft I filmed it in a car wash.
 
how can you not, look at this porn collection get your wallet out
