Tell me why you would go with coils over air?

The white top is top-heavy, but seems to balance well with the black bottom. I like it.

Definitely go steelies. It really doesn't take a lot to paint or powder coat them compared to the other options if you get them too large.

Total cost of ownership probably. Air suspension will fail eventually, and it's an expensive repair/replacement.

I'm paying cash but really curious what you're being quoted on a residual.

It’s just a lot more reliable for the Off-Roading platform. I’ve seen a lot of new defender owners (L663) have issues with theirs.

Plus it’s unique, for the new ones. The majority of new defenders will have Air, all the 110’s have it, and about half of the 90’s do.

I had Air Suspension on my ‘21 Ram and loved it but I just don’t think it’s right for the 90. After all the, old Defenders didn’t have air suspension. Although I’m not even sure if they had coils 😂.

My residual for my lease is $38,970.75. That’s for a 33 month lease with 15,000 miles a year. MSRP was $59,955.00.

That's not bad. I sold cars in college and it taught me that a 1% lease is usually a pretty good deal (1% of the purchase price per month on a 36 month with 12k miles). Depending on what they're looking for on the down payment, you're pretty close with more miles and a shorter term.

NIce to see. Thanks.
