defender 130 info please?

[mowingjamie]

good point about the value, defently sets it appart from the others. The problem ive got at the moment is ive got £6000 tops for either a defender or iveco/isuzu/mitsubishi. not enough to get a decent defender at the moment. I'll keep looking tho

Defenders have rock solid residuals - paid £15K for my 2004 130 tipper 3 years ago, have put 55,000 miles (now at 168,000 miles) on it and it's never missed a beat. Got offered £12K for it recently - try getting that for a 10 yr old Toyota Hilux!

For us in a rural situation I've been really happy with our td5 130. We work in fields, off road, off piste more often than not and its ace. A transit or similar would really struggle for the work we do. If you're in a big city I would have thought it would be harder to justify.

You shouldn't worry too much about resale, it's about what it'll make you when you have it.

 

If you're fretting about resale buy an Alfa spyder.

As Geoff said, Great trucks I was luck and got a good un owned by some old fart for several years so never really done any hard work 😉

 

That's what he told you!
