That looks lovely and a nice over standard spec and it is not unrealistically priced.
My brother bought a poverty spec ex-demo with 6,000 miles from my local LR outlet for £18,000+VAT a couple of years back and that was deemed a steal then.

I think the realistic price for any product is what someone will pay for it!......this is an interisting thread and if the op is willing tto let us know it would be eyeopening to see what he actually sells his truck for.... or does he end up part exing it

Its interesting that it is not selling .....nobody must be buying at these inflated ptices!I only know from late 2014 prices but your model hardtop without the mods and a bit of haggling would of sold new for between 19500 -21500.....so you were trying to sell a 5- 6 year old car for several thousand pounds more than the original owner bought it ..........i think people are not willing to pay the inflated prices ...i think you might get a bite at the 18-20 grand mark because folk may think its a bargan when in reality it is probably a realistic price ..I hop you get top doller fella but you might be waiting a while unless you get a whim buyer Thumbs Up Rather than looking at the for sale section look at the ebay sold section and you might get the going rate for your truck


Thanks for the advice, although I would have preferred some of it as a PM Rolling Eyes

Luckily I am happy to wait a while as I’m in no rush to sell it, the price I’m asking is what it’s worth to me, (and hopefully its new owner) if it doesn’t sell then I’ll be happy to keep it.

I have someone coming to view it on Thursday so if I do have any luck I’ll let you know

Sorry fella ! but this is a Defender forum and most on here have a good gemeral idea what a defender is worth..I know that has somewhat been skewed by the end of the line bubble in prices but if i was in the market for your truck ,which is a fine example of a defender i would want to pay x pounds for it and if you were not willing to drop i would look elswhere in the marketplace ...

...In the end it would depend on how urgemt my need was and the market ,which is awash with obervalued trucks not selling because folk are unsure of the market and dont want to sell and see it on a forecourt for 5 grand more than they sold it .

I hope you get what you want for it and its an advantage to you if your in no rush as you might get a whim buyer who looks on e bay ect and will see trucks being offered at inflated prices and think thats the going rate snap yours up.

I dont know what will happen in the future regarding prices but the rush to electric and the downer on diesel fuel nmay have an negative effect and the quality of the new defender might effect demand!

Totally agree with the above. I really struggled to sell my Defender and it was realistically priced and mint. The market is on the slide.

I don't think it's about the price, but to do with people having the cash to buy.
Most buy cars with finance solutions so a private sale for 20-30k is difficult unless bought back into trade.
I sold my last two back to the trade and was very pleased with the prices.
Also asking a specialist to sell it for you on commission is a good idea as they can offer warranty and finance at top book prices

I wish you good luck with the sale Thumbs Up

Okay, I didn't create this post to start a debate on the vehicles value but thanks for all the genuine advice. I may look into selling it to trade as I am looking at replacing it with another defender eventually anyway.
