Not a great time of year to be shifting any vehicle, have a search on
the autotrader website, check the pricing on similar spec landies, see
if what you actually *want* for it is realistic in the market. Bear in
mind dealers will be more open to negotiation at this time of year too.

If you need the cash now and the 8k sounds reasonable after the
research, open with explaining why it's worth what you are asking and
what *doesn't* need doing to it. Tell him it's his for 8.5k, you can
wait until the new year if you have to. Let him explain why it's only
worth 8k.

If you can wait, valet it properly in the new year and advertise it
again. Keep it clean and make sure it's spotless before any viewings.

With a bit of luck the new year may bring some decent snow which will
focus the buyers minds somewhat :-).

Good luck !

There's a '98 with lower mileage than yours currently sitting at 8850-odd on
ebay with 20 hours to go.

And you can pick up clean Disco II's for 9k nowadays, that has to be
considered when valuing an older model. personally, I'd take the 8k and run
for a '96 model!

That sounds low to me as well; I think you should be looking nearer £10k (on
the basis of info provided). There is no comparision between a Defender and
a Disco; the latter are cheap as chips because the market is flooded.
People still want Defenders...

If you can hold out for a better price.

although 90s seem to fetch more than discos. Especially disco Is.

That's what I was thinking - you see similar 90's to mine in the mags
9 -11k.

Decisions, decisions!!

Trouble with adverts in comics, you never normally find out what they
actually sold for.

try watching a few similar ones on ebay, see what they run to, is my way of
judging things. eBay seems to reflect the market reasonably accurately,
provided you have enough samples. There's always the odd one that ends up
cheap, but these days, super-ebay-bargains are rare - too many clued-up
people on it now :-(
