Sold my defender last night:Cry::Cry::Cry:
Now have up to £4k to spend on a discovery but don't mind a good'un' that's only gonna cost me two
BUT I DON'T MIND ANOTHER DEFENDER STATION WAGON TYPE
I've never owned a discovery and know nothing about them other than if I get it wrong it's going to cost me:doh:
I spent more than three weeks reading about the problems these motors have and talked myself right out of them and started looking at other makes, it was then pointed out by a member on here that ALL the problems listed are the same ones over and over. It was also said that all other makes have forums full of people with problems with their motors and after checking, he's right, they do so I'm back.
Right what do I want, simple comes to mind so have been looking at late 300 tdi's. Trouble is they're old, high mileage and well patched up if you've got a good one for sale let me know.
Would prefer:
No sunroofs
No air suspension
No sealed wheel bearings?
No three amigo's
No orrible patches
No saggy headlining
No boot floor hanging out
No ripped knackered drivers seat.
No leaks
No air con
No electric windows that don't work
No faulty central locking
No off road monsters
Would like [happy list]
Leather interior
Boot liner/dog guard
Nice looking
Clean
Well looked after and washed/polished
Don't mind a little lift just for show
AT tyres as I still need to fetch em logs
Nice colour
I have been studying these things for a few months now so have a good idea of prices, don't mind paying over the odd's for a good'un'
I know I'm not going to get anything like I want in my happy list so try me.
Last and most important bit, I've sold my defender, my only car:doh: if you're one of these people that refuse to send pic's and if I'm serious I'd come and view I CAN'T I don't have a motor.
I can be swayed off my list and I've not actually seen any yet as defender only went last night:doh:
Quite happy to train bus where ever if I like the motor and do have the cash but I'll want an honest description and pic's before I travel miles.
Cheers all
Brian.
P.S. I do check the for sale section everyday, as well as watching ebay and news publications BUT only got the money last night
