I have the option of buying a fairly tidy Defender station wagon.

2003 TD5  150,000 miles on the clock

A few rust bubbles on the bulkhead.

 

The guy is asking £15k 

 

Am I mad for considering it?

Prices are mad on all second hand vehicles at min! But as they’re not being made anymore i suspect you’ll never lose on it. And judging by your previous posts on vehicles you look after stuff so will prob work in your favour too.

Sounds cheap for Norway...

If the chassis is sound and the bulkhead isn't too bad then at 150, 000 that doesn't seem crazy.  Not many decent Defenders being advertised under 15K in the UK currently and many go back to the 200 and 300 TDI era.

I will have a look under it tomorrow. It just got a new MOT but the chassis condition will make or break the sale.

[Mike Hill]

It looks decent underneath. I think I will take it.

Not sure where you are based but I'm just about to put my 2007 110 utility up for sale?
