Woops ive done it again, not another bloody landie, now with added disco for sale.

[garbaldy]

Not sure what the market for these are now as the seem to be priced all over the place,
Anyone care to put a value on this pile of old shite
I bought it with good intentions but decided to buy the hippo instead so this is now just sitting doing nothing
it drives really well with a nice tight gear change, engine starts first time and runs really nice,
it has chassis rust (don't they all) mainly back cross member, front driverside outrigger, and rear shock mount area,

[dollywobbler]

Gawd knows. Put it on Ebay and anything could happen. Probably at least a grand. It's essential that you put GR8 4 EXPORT somewhere in the heading and perhaps consider adding more chequer plate to improve its appeal.

[garethj]

That's true, I was looking for one for ages. But 2 weeks ago I found something else to waste my money on and I can't have 3 different cars within a month, the DVLA can't keep up.

 

J registration means a 200 TDi (unless it's a petrol?) so ebay is the place. Lots of them go for £1200-£1800 although I see a huge number re-listed so the fuckwit quotient is high

The TDi sticker on the side also hints towards it maybe perhaps having a TDi engine

Holmes, you astound me!

[ruffgeezer]

Probably out of my price range but, I like this, anymore info?

[Guest]

Snap it up, if not too rusty. Before I bought the Red Rangey, which I lerrrrrrrrve, I was looking for a decent coil sprung Landy, preferably SWB, but found the prices of non rotters to be a bit daft. I love Series Landies, but have to admit that coil springs and the slightly more modern engines and slightly less rough interiors of the more recent ones do help a bit when it comes to actually living with the heaps.

 

Old Landies basically rule, although I know Jack Shit about the TDi engine. Landies break a lot, but can be fixed a lot. They are impossibly fabulous as load luggers, mob of children and dogs carriers, and simply epic off road. They have a coolness all of their own, which just increases the more dented and scabby they become.

 

The one in this thread, with a station wagon set-up and that mahoosive roof rack, would be a perfect vehicle for taking 87,000 people plus all their kit to a Festival, or going on hollies, or doing Paris-Dakar, or just for smoking about in.

[Partridge]

Even if no-one wanted to buy it as a complete car, they’re still worth a lot for parts. Body shells, if they’re reasonable go for fairly good money. It’s an evergreen car, people will always want Defenders or parts for them.

[Pillock]

It's definitely* worth no more than £150.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll give you £150 for it.

[jakebullet]

Needs moar chequer plate to hide that the bottoms of the doors are turning to powder. If the bulkheads not shot to shit then should sell easily enough.

[drum]

Does it have an mot? I would guesstimate between 1 and 2k depending on how rotten the chassis/bulkhead/doors are. Or you could sell it to the Americans.

 

Or spend some time and money making it solid and a paint job and it will be easily mistaken for a new £35k 110 station wagon.

[Charlie Croker]

It needs a pre 73 tax free log book as per shed loads on Ebay........OR......even better a pre 60 tax AND mot exempt one.

Not that i would encourage anyone to break the law/cheat the system like!!

[garbaldy]

Thanks for all the replies, sounds like its worth 1 to 2k on a good day so of to auction she goes, I really don't want to stick it on the bay of evil as its full of piss takers though, if anyone wants a landy project then i would take anything as a trade apart from live stock that is

 

I just want it gone as if i keep it for a long term project it will probably never be done and storage costs will eventually be more than its ever going to be worth.

[garbaldy]

well after the dire sale price of the diesel puglet I didn't want to use the bay again but here we go gambling with it again

anyone have any ideas what else I could note in listing would be appreciated as I kind of haven't been selling very well lately  

[purplebargeken]

Sell the roof rack on its own.

[garbaldy]

I listed this landrover  and I had the bidder settings set to no low feedback buyers, no buyers outwith the UK, no buyers with strike against them, i did this as the last time i tried to sell childs quad someone from Austraila won it.

fine I thought until the item ended and I went to send invoice and this is the buyer what do I do now,

Neg the fuck out of him for not complying with the explicit instructions in the auction, and contact the 2nd highest bidder?

[Albert Ross]

Tell him you hope he can read a fucking map. Let him pay by Paypal, pocket the cash, and park it at the end of your drive with the keys in it. If it goes missing, it's his fault for being Turkish.

[jakebullet]

Second chance bloke no 2, if you have to relist tick the UK only box.

[garbaldy]

I did have buyer preference set to uk but for some reason he managed to bid anyway.

Got this email this morning?

Fookin Turkey Cypres wish he would make his mind up

Dear Sir,

 

Can you sent me exact address of the car please. I will manage transportation.

And i need registration papers and other document what you have because i will export item to North Cyprus.

[John F]

 LefkoÅŸa is the Turkish word for Nicosia, so he does neam Cyprus - the north of which is 'part' of Turkey.

[Station]

Are Shoguns/Pajero's and the like better than these overall? I know they're LR and that, and therefore have a loyal fan base, but realistically, which is the best 'overall', the equivalent Shogun to this or the LR?

[HillmanImp]

Even if he is a scammer if its paid by paypal is there any way you can lose the money? Is the point of paypal not that they are taking the risk? Once they have accepted the funds and paid them to you, they are yours are they not?

 

If it turns out (unlikely) that he is legit. you wil need to ensure that the buyer understands it needs to be collected by a certain date though or will be scrapped.

[garbaldy]

I thought that if you receive a payment through papal that the buyer can claim it back through the chargeback system.

[John F]

They've all got their plus points and problems. The big problem with Shoguns / Pajeros appears to be OMGHGF. But you'll see far more LRs being used in this country by off-roaders and farmers, so that suggests they're the better vehicle 'overall' for British conditions.

[John F]

You've uploaded those pictures / told that story before, so I won't comment again here.

[garbaldy]

Just a second and I can sort that out for you.

 

There you go sorted.

[garbaldy]

That's an opinion but is it down to

Cost of vehicle?

Follow the heard?

Old ways as in do as grandad did sort of thing?

Cost of modified parts?

Cost of parts in general?

[John F]

Cost of vehicle - similar. Defenders can fetch high prices but Discos are cheap.

Follow the herd - why not? There are plenty of LR specialists, and people actually like them.

Old ways - coil-sprung LR versus leaf-sprung Shogun / Pajero?

Cost of modified parts - similar, frankly ludicrous, but you don't have to fit all the toys

Cost of parts - aftermarket prices are similar, e.g. front discs & pads kit for a Disco I or Shogun is £35. Can't imagine OE spares will be cheaper for a Jap vehicle though.
