hey peeps-

well, our daughter will soon be handed the keys to my 88 land cruiser FJ62. so, its time for me to do some 4wd shoppin... I've always wanted a defender 90, but the '93 110 is looking more n more appealing to me and the wifey. a 110 would be perfect for us cuz we want to take the family plus canines cross-country, up the coastand someday, down to s. america. we would use the 110 mainly for trails n camping trips, no sand-dunes or heavy rock-crawling, except maybe rubicon (someday)...

I don't know much about landys at all. I'd like some input. pls convince me why I should or shouldn't buy a 110.

1st, what gives? why are they selling for so much? there are two selling in so cal for over $50k!! is it because only 525 were brought in to n. america? rarity = $$$$
what are the quirks about this rig, likedriveability, off-roading, tranny, gas mileage, differentials, etc.?
what mods do most 110 owners usually do?

cheers,
jonathan

the newly released Defender has been on the market less than a year and already there are 9 complaints on the NHTSA website. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2020/L...ROVER/DEFENDER

I purchased a 2020 in early October and after 2 weeks in was back at the dealer for maintenance for 10 days and released to me because they could not fix the windshield problem. I am discussing the matter with attorneys. I strongly discourage anyone from buying the Defender at this time.
