Worrying price
I was having a nose around the 4x4 auction the other day and they had a 56reg D3 HSE in Zermatt with Black on 713 miles with tints and tow pack, side steps etc. Mint condition direct from a dealer. I didn't have a price guide with me so I thought £44k new, maybe £34k in the auction. Sold for £27800. Have a look at www.brightwells.com in the 4x4 section under results of recent auctions. This is an open auction, anyone can go. A bit worrying in terms of price, I thought about it after and even at £30k it would have been cheap. Keep an eye out for it at your local stealers, someone will have it up for £34995 I don't doubt! They're not called stealers for nothing!

And it would be covered by the LR warranty with even wheel bearings being covered at 713miles. I looked over it with a very critical eye and it was perfect I have to say. Even had the LR Lether tag on the headrest.
I'd forgotten about Brightwells. Cheers for the headsup, as we're looking to replace the L200 later in the year. a 90 SW or a 110 County Double Cab are high on the shopping list. May even look at a 130 D/c if we can find one for the right money.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
