Yeah it's nice, but ...???? - Land Rovers Only

Am I missing something here? Are Series III's worth that much when restored? Seems a little hopeful on his part. I mean, I would really like owning one that nice, but ... yikes! Am I odd or does anyone else think it's a bit much?

That is insane......There is now way it's worth that....

Im not sure thats true funrover, yes expensive, buy it might not be far off. Look at d90s, though they are much newer they are selling for same price w/ 40k miles.

I think that anywhere except the USA $40,000 for a SIII, even one in that condition would be ridiculous.

In the UK, that vehicle would be worth £6-8,000 maximum.

However, given that the USA has no mass 2nd-hand Ninety/One Ten/Defender market, and a limited stock of Series Landys, that's probably a reasonable price from what I've seen.

no. there is no way he will get that. I've seen ground up restored series's go for 15-20k. Copley had one a while back.

That's not really a good comparison though. The D90 is a different vehicle in the US. To the public it is perceived very differently. Though it is insane that people sell them for the same price they paid. Talk about a good investment =].

I think the seller is just playing the "one born every minute on Ebay" game. There is no way in hell it'll go for even half that to a Series enthusiast. Even if he had $150K in receipts - it is still not worth what he has in it.
Anyone who has ever restored a classic car knows that.

was just guessing....now im curious to know what it actually sells for. Would be really cool to have one....though $20k is still steep, would just buy an old one and restore it myself.

How much do non restored ones go for?

jkb2002disco · 11-08-2005, 10:08 PM

Considering the cost of a roof rack for a Disco his rack must of cost a small fortune!!!!!!!

That rig is a canidate for a topless, exocaged, ugly, beat up on the trail, and not care vehicle....

keptin · 11-08-2005, 10:38 PM

I know!! It would be perfect!!!

I dont have any cash now, but if you could get it for around $3000 you could part it out for more....maybe $5k+? Arnt the engines alone like $2500?

Moeras · 11-08-2005, 10:38 PM

BS!!!!!!!

$55K at 6.8 SA Rand to the $ = R374K

That is the price of a brand new Landrover 130 Dubble cab or a Disco 3!
You could also get some middle of range BMW, volvo or Merc new for that.
Sh1t that is the proce of a small house here in SA!!

keptin · 11-08-2005, 10:40 PM

yeah $55k is very high, but in the US market, you might come across someone with $35k (reserve not met though) that would spend that much for it.
