I'd very much like to sell my Defender and replace it with a 300 or 200tdi. Ideally a project that I can enjoy rather than having an all to capable on and off road vehicle.

The problem is how much is it worth, here it is on EBay and with only a couple of days to go there has been little interest. Any ideas?!

I don't think your photo does it much justice.
19k cars are normally highly polished and sat in a showroom, not a muddy puddle.
I wouldn't have a clue about its value I'm afraid.

That's worth £12k tops.

Think you'd have been better having it cleaned prior to the photos.
The one showing the inside from the drivers door made me wince when I say all that mud.
Had I been in the market for one, I formed the impression that the current owner didn't bother too much with the cleaning of it
and decided that the underneath would be caked in mud.
Perhaps this is not the case but thats my thoughts.

All the off road stuff attached to it is a sign of abuse in most peoples eyes i am afraid. Plus it looks a bit tatty. Your asking price is very optimistic to say the least.

Did you research what other similar Defenders were on at before you listed. Prices are strong, verging on unrealistic post the end of production, but for an off road prepared van the target market is much narrower than the usual e bay browser so the range of prices is also narrower and the market on general classified sites feels more unpredictable
Without seeing the car it's difficult to be sure but 19k feels top dollar going off the photos and description, even for around here ( the "effluent" South East). There was an absolutely cracking DCPU from around here on eBay, low miles, good colour, sensible mods, good advert, listed twice, two weeks apart, around the same price as yours and I don't think that sold

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions. I look after it very well and although I dont always clean the exterior nor the interior neither of which are particularly important I always take care of the chassis.

I'll let it run its course, and see what happens. We buy any car offered £13800 but I don't know what effects the winch and Snorkel would have.

Looks like you may all be correct. 17 minutes to go. No bids.

we buy any car will drop the offer dramatically if you take it looking like on the pictures ! Sorry, but it looks abused. Not saying it is. But that's the story the pictures say, you are turning people away offering it looking like that.
Take it off ebay spend a day cleaning and polishing it, then take some new pictures and repost it,
