Love spending other people's money. Laughing Don't be too influenced by the bad news on forums (see the bold bit below).

Mine a 2008 90XS has served me extremely well. Yes there have been 'minor niggles' that have always been sorted with courtesy, good service and a free replacement vehicle when needed! I still enjoy drving my Puma with the same excitement and gutso as the day I collected her, still on original major components that you hear about so often failing (clutch, gearbox etc.) Reliability and contentment are not really interesting news...Doom, gloom despondancy and mechanical failures are!!!
If I was in the market for a replacement vehicle a Defender would be my weapon of choice like a shot!!!

Your not the only one! It's great when its someone else's money Wink

I think I came across wrong though! I'm wary of the seller more than the car!

Cheers for the replies, great forum 2006 Defender Double Cab- Zambezi Silver

If you've any doubt don't buy from him/her. Find a decent independant and possibly buy from them. You may pay slightly over the odds but can be compensated by excellent after sales service and customer care. I've used these before, a couple of hours away from you. There may be a decent one nearer to yourself.

Cheers K9F,

Nothing in my price range there. I'll keep an eye on it though.

I'll have a look at it and like you say, any doubt I'm happy to walk! I'm in no rush, just looking really! If the right one pops up I'll be temped.

I know of Gwent 4x4, no fear off road etc, they known for being dodgy as hell

and not paying their rent or taxes etc and just move to another unit when the bailiffs start knocking.

Id steer clear!

but if you do go to see it, make sure its not accident damaged and do a full HPI and check the mot mileage history, leave no stone unturned! He deals mostly in salvage. 2011 Santorini Black USW XS.

Welshsurferdude: Yeah that's what I've uncovered doing a bit of research! Not overly keen on his history to be honest! Like you said if I go it will be the full monty, probably get my local Indi to check it over too.

Custom90steve: To be honest, I looked when I was looking for my first one but they were all out of my range. I've just check again and there are a few close to my price! Mmmmm cheers for the reminder. 2006 Defender Double Cab- Zambezi Silver

That was how I bought mine that way you can have more peace of mind. Also IIRC you should get at lest a 1yr warranty and a full LR inspection. Prices may not always be the cheapest but IMHO it is the most reliable choice than trying anyone anywhere. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___
