malkiserow Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 R I've been offered an N plate Tdi ( i guess this is a 200 or 300) disco, no MOT no Tax. Owner is a bit of a townie who just fancied a LR a few years ago. The inside is in OK condition but there are some holes in the wheel arches and floor. The paint is faded but seems to run fine. Wheels and tyres are very good. Had a new alternator recently and service a couple of months ago. The owner wants £400 for the vehicle. Is this about right?

-Mongrel- Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) If the rest is rusty how's the chassis, sills, rear door shuts, boot floor, front suspension turrets and rear cross member? If yes it's a good price, if no then how bad is it? All of the above are common rot points. As a guide I just bought a late 200tdi with decent mechanicals, solid chassis and repaired boot floor, turrets and sills. Just starting to show some rust on the rear door shut/arch and paid 650 with a few moths MOT. That seemed fair judging by ebay sale prices which I studied for weeks before I bought. Oh, and I believe an 'N' will be a 300 tdi. Edited October 1, 2013 by -Mongrel- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 They go for £400 to break. Engine and gearbox fetch £350 on there own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Plenty about for 600 to 1000 grand now with mot. Unless ya can weld pretty well wouldn't touch it. Welding a new boot in is not exactly rocket science if you can weld lol. And then there's all the other bits. Sounds to me like that one wants to go to a breakers Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the pigeon man Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Look in the boot under the carpet before you do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyNCC Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I wouldn't pay 400 even if I was to break it myself It's got no tax or mot for a reason Only thing worth out is the motor and I wouldn't pay more than 250 for that The rest is not much because there are so many about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 250 you wouldn't even get the engine and gearboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldypurple Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 It would go for more than £400 on eBay, someone will just buy it as an off road toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 That's about the right price but you may spend a lot of time welding. They scrap for about that, £350 for the engine & the rest is a bonus. The wife's daily is an N reg, only had to weld 1 wheel arch at the moment but I can see more having to be done in the next couple of years.

ferguson_tom Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Sounds a good price but only if you know what your doing with a set of spanners and a mig welder. If you have to pay someone to do the work you could quickly be looking at very heavy bills. If you have a look in the boot and pull up the carpet the boot floor should tell you what you need to know. It might be worth a punt but keep in mind you may just end up scrapping it and just about getting your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodog Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 if its to run off road sounds like a good buy, as said if you need to put a mot on it then walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
