    Defender Alot of rust?

    ive checked out nearly all in a 150-200km range amd thos is one lf the better ones. im just dont wanna buy a ****box that needs a new chassis in 3 years, im planning to have it as long as possible. its even on the cheaper side for 18k€. the cheaper ones are basically 60% rust and 300k kilometers...

    Defender Alot of rust?

    im in austria, and the decision has to be rather fast because there are about 15 for sale in the whole country, 10 os those more than 600km away, in my price range with decent condition and miles on the clock.

    Defender or Range Rover?

    the thing with the freelander here is, i pay the same insurance as a rr or a disco 4. plus i didnt enjoy driving ours as i felt it seems more like a vw polo too drive. plus, they pretty much cost around 8-15 k, which is my budget but i could get a "nicer car" for that money.

    Defender or Range Rover?

    yes. most peoples cars are illegal not gonna lie tho, nearly everyone changes somethere so stuff does get tolerated. but if you for instance hit someone and your air intake is not stock youre gonna be paying that person medical fees for the rest of their life.

    Defender or Range Rover?

    we can work on our cars ourselves, but changing a chassis etc is much to expensive. youll probably end up paying more for the "typisierung" which basically makes it legal. something simple as putting in a different air intake makes it illegal if it isnt a tested part and if you dont have it...
