Apologies if this has been done to death in the past.
I am thinking of buying a Defender 90 to ferry me to the station each morning. I have lost so much money in the past few years on cars that I want something reliable and as near to depreciation proof as possible. I have up to £12k to spend (although needs to be from a dealer who will p/ex). I seem to be in the Td5 1998-2000 territory. Some dealers (who do not have any cars in this age range!) have said I am better off going for a 300TDi or spending a bit more to get an 01 Td5. Any thoughts?
A few other questions:
1. What is the windscreen demisting like? Can you retro fit a heated windscreen?
2. Has anyone had dealings with Reid Land Rover in Horsham, 4x4xFox, The Man For Land Rover or RCV The Diesel Centre?
All thoughts gratefully received!
