might be able to talk the price down (needs new or rebuilt engine)?

rmuller · 09-20-2006, 12:56 PM

x2! if it needs a new engine i would put the extra cash for a tdi!! only 70,000 and needs a new or re-built engine (kind of low for that)? the lady said to make an offer.

LANDY96 · 09-20-2006, 03:20 PM

I think you should be able to talk her down to maybe $10,000.00!

You could get a used engine for about 2k. I would buy this tomorrow if I had just a little more cash!

i hate when i see a good deal on a def or etc and do not have extra $$$$. even if u did not have the $$ and get a loan, u could drop a engine in and resale it for double the amount and pay off the loan and have extra $$$$. just putting ideas into your head!! LOL!!

getting some crazy ideas. the wife would kill me but i am thinking about it. its probably gone by now. its a steal. it might not even need a new motor. please, somebody buy it so it is out of my system.

I live in Austin and have seen this truck. It's thrown a rod I believe. The interior is thrashed, body is damaged on the left side (which ever side is not pictured). Story goes a female UT student drove it and abused it.

You're absolutely right. You can just unbolt everything damaged from a Defender and bolt new/used parts back in. Then you can re-sell it and make some extra cash. Defenders are like money in a bank. I'm thinking about it too...

, but my wife would kill me.

Carlos
P.S. Look at www.roversland.com for a lot of defender used body parts by the way.

word on the street is that the bush twins partied in it. LOL

LANDY96 · 09-24-2006, 03:38 PM

Then it's worth it's weight in gold!

Just got a quote from Tidewater Rovers on a newly rebuilt 300 TDI engine gearbox and xfer case for a swap.

Wait for it............

$11,000 US dollars, I'm holding off on this one.
