Try on here to be fair - I haven't had any personal experience but both Williams Classics and Huddersfield Land Rover centre seem to buy good stock. What they ask in terms of margin, I am unsure.

Series values seem all over the shop so I do think dealers tend to achieve more than private as people know it comes with some form of warranty but for that they want a strong margin. Good luck

Personally, I've found those mentioned VERY good at talking down the market when buying and more than capable of doing the opposite should you call to speak with them about purchasing. I've bought and sold enough cars to be a realist and, running my own business, I understand overheads and the need for a decent margin but I stand by what I said in my original post, insulting offers are exactly that... insulting.

As for selling via the forum; I haven't found that to be worth the hassle.

In the case of the S2a, it is now going to a non-LR specialist who I have sold to before and the price offered was fair and reasonable to both parties.

I've said it before but far too many LR specialists seem to treat the owner community as ignorant and naive. It is shame that you have to leave that niche community to get decent service and not to be treated like a fool.

I'm sure there must be great independent LR specialists but I'm yet to stumble across one.
