Hi,

How do you put a value on a G4 vehicle? I mean the beer token value not the fluffy value. Please don't post 'what someone is willing to pay for it' or similar :doze:

I can see that a good G4 heritage is attractive to some, but it also means a harder early life than a non G4 vehicle would enjoy. Do they offset one another?

Cheers

Paul

the market is not well established for a real value along the lines of the base cars, ie disco 3 or defender 110 so its all supposition, all the cars should undergo  a refurb befor let loose on the public, however cars used in croatia are more likely to suffer corrosion than others on the same 06 event

look at its overall condition and and service then pay the money you are comfortable with

Also the usage and role has a big impact on how hard they were worked. Event team vehicles may be expected to have worked much harder than support vehicles. Similarly the vehicles that drove through the Salar de Uyuni (Salt Lake) may suffer some corrosion in later life.

My Sport is listed as a "Team Support", like a lot of the other vehicles, but used as a event vehicle, suppose the names on the side, give it away a bit !!:w00t:

Of course it "worth what someone will pay for it"  if the car is offered at £40k and you are happy to pay £38k, that must be what its worth to you, if however, your £38k does not buy the car, oviously worth more to the vendor, !!

However when i bought the Sport, i worked on a "book" trade guide price, for the standard RR Sport HSE, and hope when it come time to sell, there is someone else out there with the same sense of humor !!

I personally think the G4 vehicles will hold their valve better that the same age/miles of a standard car, due to their rarity, and just just being different,  You certainly need to be a little on the outgoing side to own and use one,:P  Is this why we love them ??

 

Coat on & out the door !!! :hehe:

Errrrrrmmmm.... Not necessarily true.

The support vehicles may well have someone that knows what they're doing behind the wheel but that doesn't mean they had it any easier... In fact, in some cases it's the complete opposite!!!

Also remember just how much "support" have the support vehicles done. It may be they were on the set up part so spent AGES in the salt.

That is why I went for an "Asia" car rather than ready salted!!

Ah, so the fact mine went to Bolivia probably isn't a good thing and would explain why the bolts on the seat fittings and the runners are rusty.

It is going into LR this week for 3 days to see if they can sort the transmission clunk (again). Tightening the bolts on the propshaft solved one clunk, but dropping it into 3rd gear in particular causes a nice clonk. I don't expect a japanese gear change but the old defender didn't suffer like this.

Next week off to APB for high back rear seats (for child seats), side runners (so other folk can get in) and steel fastners all around.

Hill start - when doing a hill start from cold my landy needs a lot (like no mechanical sympathy left) of beans to go anywhere, any ideas?

Probably need a forum jump.

Check the rear half shaft splines... ;)
