Potential Purchase
Hello all
Through years I have purchased several LRs but the oldest one was a 2013 RR Evoque.
I am contemplating whether to buy a Land Rover Defender TD5 2000 version but I need some help, I have attached some photos for your opinion.
The price is around 14k GBP equivalent

It looks like she's in need of quite a bit of maintenance. Besides newer springs and shocks...the rest of the front end looks like it could be gone through. Steering knuckles are leaking (might as well do brakes and C/V joints while your in there), radius arm bushings look original and tired, steering components look tired. Imagine the rear bushing look similar. Tires look like they're toast. I'd ask a million questions about the service work done on that Td5 too...and ask for documentation.
Not a hundred percent up on UK pricing but, kind of keep an eye on different boards and facebook marketplace...and this seems a bit high considering the amount of repairs needed.
