Where to buy a Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Franchised Dealer
Without doubt this is the safest option into buying a Land Rover Defender. The manufacturer has to keep up a high reputation and will not sell rubbish or cars without full history for this reason. In just about all models you will get a full warranty, which of course covers any defects that many occur with the vehicle. Unfortunately this is not surprisingly the most expensive way of buying a Defender.

Independent 4x4 Dealer
Most 4x4 dealers trade in Land Rovers in Britain. The machine are seen as a British car making icon and has a great heritage. However the vehicles talked about in the above classification that are not of high enough quality to sell from a franchised dealer often found themselves in independent hands instead. Don't let this out you off though many bargains and great deals can be found from your local dealer. Just dont expect every vehicle to be as good condition and have a treasured life.

Local Garage
Your local universal garage may well have one or two Land Rovers in their four courts. The previous owner may well have traded their Land Rover in for a family car such as a Ford focus, and some great deals can be had on them. Generally better prices can be had on Defenders here that 4x4 specialists but don't expect many cars that have had a great life.

Private Sale
Private sales can be a great way to pick up on a bargain. Imagine a vehicle that has hardly been used and has been sitting in a shed for years stored under blankets. Real gems can be found from private sales. Defenders however are prone to rust and make sure you check the vehicle fully. Its best advised to pay for an AA inspection to check both the vehicle and HP. Private deals are sold as seen and there is very little comeback if the car goes wrong.

Auction
As the list grows the level of risk also increases. Auctions are like private sales, sold as seen. Believe it or not a lot of attendees at auctions are full time car traders who know their stuff. This makes it very easy to get carried away in the excitement and beat the fancy looking guy next to you. He however, probably knows the exact price he will get from retail. Be warned!

Salvage
Buying from salvage generally means a vehicle that has been written off and is looking for something more than TLC. Parts can be sourced from differing vehicles and put together as one. You will need a mechanical background and a lot of patience to get a Land Rover Defender nack into shape but it can be worth it in the end. Buying a good base or vehicle that has a strong heart is key.

Internet
Over the last few years the Internet has grown from specialised information into a buying method that has transformed commerce. A huge potential audience awaits on-line car dealers. While the internet is great you really need to physically visit the car at its selling location. Its all very well the owner saying its in great shape but there are crooks out there. Once again you have been warned!
