2005 Defender 90 Td5 XS CSW Bonatti Grey

Out of touch - roughly how much is it worth?

Evening all,

Almost on a whim I posted a reply in the the Wanted section that my Td5 might be for sale but I’ve no real idea what it might be worth. Just from my description would anyone care to give me a steer?

2005 (05) 90 XS CSW Bonatti Grey
39k miles
FSH - LR in the earlier years, latterly good independent specialists
Unmolested - all original, no gewgaws or chequerplate
Exmoor Trim canvas seat covers last five years protecting the part leather upholstery
Fairly new BFG ATs (in last couple of years. Prior to that she was still on her original General Grabbers!).

I’ve had it since 2015 when it had only done 18k miles (first owner only used it to drive to the station car park in Surrey before his city commute). Very good condition for its age and I keep it garaged.

A quick look on Autotrader and there was only one Td5 XS with similar miles (35k) and the dealer was looking for £39k - seems a lot to me. I suppose I could try Collecting Cars… 90 XS Td5 Bonatti Grey
90 XS Puma Stornoway Grey (sold)
90 XS Td5 Java Black (sold)
90 XS Td5 Oslo Blue (sold)

I’d be thinking a realistic sale would be £25k but you could try and push your luck for £30k to start with if she’s mint.

Also you could try calling twisted as they like to snap up low mileage td5’s, then change a few bits a list them for £125k

My local dealer has almost exactly the same model
for sale, a 2004 90 XS SW in black with 38,000 miles and in mint condition as to be expected
with that mileage

They are asking £25,995

They've also got a 2005 90 XS SW again mint one lady owner but with 78,000 miles at £25,000

Typically a dealer will get a couple thousand more due
to the warranty but if yours is mint (crossmember not rusty, no rusty bolts or scabs on the bodywork) you could try it at £25,000.

Very low mileage ones like yours should make that kind of money in the current market. There's always the silly prices (l've seen a 10,000 mile 110 at £79,000) but dealers will always have a go in case some clown who has just won the lottery buys it.

Apologies - been out of range for a few days.

Thanks both for your replies. She’s not mint but is in excellent condition so I think £25k would be a fair price. There is a little interest on here so I must get on with cleaning it and taking some pics. Loathe to get rid of her though to be honest. Ultra reliable and looks great. 90 XS Td5 Bonatti Grey

My local LR specialist dealer has a 36,000 mile TD5 XS SW in black at around £25,000

Being from a dealer you'll get a warranty which is worth its weight in gold on an 18 year old Defender.

l've had a look at it, and it's very nice, there's no corrosion at all on the bodywork and the interior is pristine as you'd expect at that mileage.

Sorry all. I’ve been crazy busy and haven’t had time to think about it. Now I’ve got weddings to go to and all sorts. Perhaps I shouldn’t have set this hare running. Will try to get something up after Easter but would understand if people get fed up waiting.

The black one sounds a good buy though! 90 XS Td5 Bonatti Grey

Thread resurrection alert...

After posting this last year I changed my mind and consequently didn't go back to my post, or check my inbox (sorry Will) until today.

Anyway 18 months later I think the time is right to move her on. She's now at 43,000 miles, recently had a major service and passed its MOT with flying colours. The battery is weak (it must be 10 years old) so I'm going to get a new one, plus I am going to replace the two front mudflaps as the drivers side one is corroded. As soon as these are done I will put it up in the S&W section with some pics. Just a heads up. 90 XS Td5 Bonatti Grey
90 XS Puma Stornoway Grey (sold)
90 XS Td5 Java Black (sold)
