Hi, For the past couple of days I havnt been able to stop looking at Land Rovers. I currently have a car and a cheap van that I use to go to work and carry a trials bike.
I've always had a soft spot for landys (My dad had a series 2 swb, truck cab) and I've always liked the 'modern' defenders. So I have been looking at selling my car and van and getting a 90 with seats in the back that will do all the jobs and mean I'm only paying one lot of tax, insurance and MOT etc.
I've been looking at td5 90's but there doesn't seem to be that much out there. If I sold the car and van I'd have around 9k to spend and wonder what I should be looking for at this price range? Will I be able to get a decent td5 at this price and if not are the 300tdi's just as good. It might take me a while to sell the car so I'm thinking of waiting untill spring, is it right to think that the price of landys may drop slightly after the bad weather and winter is out of the way?
And also whats are they like to own and drive day to day? The only proper experience I have had with them was the series 2 which I'm guessing will be like chalk and cheese at the side of somthing more modern.
Oh and sorry for all the questions
