Since early this year I've been looking for some kind of Landy for the charity that I work for to recover buses and ferry staff around so have been keeping an eye on whats been for sale at a reasonable price. Some might read "reasonable" for me being tight - spot on
Since 2010, prices have remained higher than they were pre 2010 when you could pick up M Reg Disco's sub £600, Defenders were always more and Freelanders went for anything from £500 upwards.
Since 2010 the cheapest you can realistically pick up a roadworthy 300tdi Disco's seems to be £1000 upwards, Defenders seem to be min £2k and Freelanders £6-800 upwards
But it's been interesting to see that with the inclement weather this week there's been a load of as yet unseen Landies on the road, but the really interesting thing is that if you do a trawl of the web, most of the Landies advertised last week before the snow came are still there. Does this mean that there's been a load of motors bought and stored during the year, or a a sudden rush of motors from down south
Another thought is are people being more selective about what they're buying and not prepared to spend their hard earned cash on over priced bargain basement motors but are prepared to pay way more for higher spec motors.
It's getting harder to read the market
Just a few passing thoughts
