Depends, do you have backup transportation? Is it a NADA 110 or an import? What year and engine? How is the chassis? Expect to have issues with it and be waiting on parts.

If you want a feel for LR issues https://www.defendersource.com/ is a good resource.

It’s a 1990 imported from Europe and restored in the US roughly 10 years ago. It has the 3.5L V8 with 197k miles on it. Looks sharp and “seems” to run well. It wouldn’t be my daily driver, I’ve always wanted one but man I love the JT. So conflicted.

I wouldnt touch an import for anything more than 10k. Way to many issues to deal with unless you are a wrench turner. It is increasingly more difficult to find mechanics who can work on older vehicles, not even taking into consideration a foreign frankenstein build. If you want a defender swap your LE on a 2021 Defender. They will be here soon.

Yes, Very Crazy!

I wouldn"t... but i have a 1995 d-90 that i have had since 1997. The gladiator is close to what rover should have marketed themselves in the US. They will screw up the new defender... not doubt.... think ford Flex with a 2" lift.

I would actually consider trading off my 90 for another Gladiator.

No way. Totally different vehicles. But you should take muddyrover up on the offer for a 95 D90.
