Default Buy a defender?

OK... How many of you would buy this if you had the money.

1995 Land Rover D90 SW 100kmiles 5psd. You would be the 4th owner.

What are they asking for it??
Can't you import one onto your little pimple of an Island out there?

haha. Mike it is already here. If you look closely my Disco is in the background. There are also a few series LR's too down here.. There is a 2001 TD5 D110 that I see every day. This one is NAS D90 that came here from Florida. I drove it yesterday. It's a different beast than my Disco. Talk about simple.

And yes I COULD import a Defender here. But it would cost a lot anyway and I wouldn't be able to take it to the states to share it with all of you.

If the price were right and there were no obvious issues I would buy one of those. I assume since you are on an island it is pretty pricey though.

It's not for sale. The owner is just asking me to look it over. Engine runs smooth and strong. No "out of the ordinary issues". Has been sitting for a while since the owner drives the company car. He is willing to let it go if the price is right. But I figured we all have a price we'd be willing to pay for a Defender and if it were at that price, WOULD YOU BUY IT? I have a price I'm willing to pay. It needs some interior fixes such as trim, and plastics, here and there. Gauges are faded somewhat. NOTHING MAJOR. Nothing that would stop anyone from buying it if a deal was made.

Assuming no major issues and if the price is right of course! Is it rusty? Do vehicles rust there easily?

Defenders are one of my favorites.

NO Rust anywhere except for whatever is on the front bumper as seen in the pictures and the tail pipe where it bends. Maybe just the exhaust too.

If you live in areas where you get a lot of ocean spray and don't rinse/wash your car often then yes, cars here can die that way. But the Defender lives mid island so there is none of that. I live away from ocean spray but to fight I rinse my car often and hand wipe everything under neath. The body is in GOOD condition.
