I feel like the price is coming down slightly. You can find a bunch for $25k - $30k, and even a few lower than $25k. Of course, these are going to have some miles on them, but a lot are well taken care of.

I had a 96 discovery in high school and much of college, put miles 30k-107k in those years... the thing was in the shop about monthly, peaking with a new transmission at 100k. The vehicle was awesome in every way other than build quality and weight. It would not go as many places as my TJ would due to it being an overweight pig. It would, however, impress more people at the mall. and haul 7 people in style and comfort. I'm REALLY glad I was able to sell it. I'll probably never own another Land Rover. THey are just too crappy -- and the resale value on anything other than the D90-110 is crapo as well.

Wow! That's a great looking Defender 90 your Dad has. I always did like them. It's been quite a while since I've seen one around.

Thanks for postin the pics, its definitely a nice D90. I always liked those, they just scream expedition or safari to me. But it really looks "heavy" next to the JK.

wolverine_man

yeah, it's quite humbling parking next to. Thanks for the comments!

I'm glad you posted the pic's, I wasn't sure what a D90 even looked like. Looks like an older Bronco or Blazer to me. Nice rig but I would take the Jeep in a heart beat.
Thanx.

i would trade my JK in right now for a defender (new of course lol). its a sweet vehicle and i have always wanted one.

No problem. Actually, the Defender's heritage is a little bit older than a bronco or blazer. The vehicle has evolved from the original Land Rover built back in 1948 and retained much of its original body style. It has permanent 4wd with diff locks and solid axles. My dad's is a 5 speed. The exterior dimensions and especially interior cargo volume dwarf those of the JK 2-door. In 1994, the D-90 was named 4x4 of the year. I am curious to see what the new North American version will look like if they ever build it. I wouldn't mind acquiring my pop's rover, but I don't think he'll ever part with it.

Here are some of the specs:

By the way, my pop's D-90 is completely stock as far as suspension and tires (orig size BFG Muds). It has no lift whatsoever. My JK is also stock, as you can see.
