Love the contrast on these threads....

 

Some are scared to death about brake downs and run new and finance...

 

Some are handy with spanners and happy to run older.

 

Both new and old can brake down. 

 

From my own experiences I would not buy new again. Service and warranty shocking. It seems like once firms have your money it doesn't matter. 

 

All I say is buy the best you can afford within reason. And horses for courses

It’s what works for the individual. 
 

I ran new, wasn’t scared to death about breakdowns, simply took a shot at going from older and handy with the spanner’s as you say to new.

Best move I ever made, just putting the key in and diesel is the way forward if you’ve plenty of other stuff to get on with.

It’s a little like machines, I don’t have workshop facilities, I can do a lot of stuff myself, but prefer newer kit in the hope of less hassle, and buying new Kubota’s was the best way of ensuring minimum hassle I ever found.

 

Currently have the best I could find used 2 years ago AWD Transit, and I’ve spent a fortune on it in comparison to the previous new Defenders I ran.

 

Simply because I can’t find a replacement, I’ve just thrown 2k at it to get it completely gone through as it’s no rot whatsoever and hope to get a while longer out of it whilst continuing the search for the newer shape in AWD.

Finding a short low roof with low miles is almost impossible!!
