Chap's what figure would you put on a08, 57plate v8 RRS hse being sold privately. Vehicle has 19k miles ...

£31k if a standard vehicle in a reasonable colour combo.

James

I would not disagree with that

Colour combo is black on black. I thought 32k, its priced up at 35k a little steep as its a private sale.

Mine is an 08 (October 2007) 57plate TDV8 in Stornoway with Ebony and HPi did a free valuation last week basis 13750 miles
Here's what they reckon:
In private sale - £29769
In the Trade - £28084
Dealer - £33139
Part Exchange Value - £29207

Mine is a standard car with tow pack 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Mind you I emailed Glass's guide with regard to my 11K miles, Dec 08 57plate (08.5MY) Black with Black TDV8 and they replied with this:

"Hi there,

Guide values, adjusted for the low mileage would come to £36275 Retail and £33075 Trade.

4x4s have been very strong lately, but how long this will last with the weather changing is anyone's guess.

Regards,"

Seems a bit ambitious in retrospect!

Lynx,

I think your's will be a Dec 07 as opposed to 08. The figures they gave you look like they could have been from last month (or possibly December) as they are a fair amount higher than the figures indicated in Feb's guide.

James

What will be the affect on TDV8 prices at launch of the new 3.0TD? I take it the TDV8 will not be carried on with? And how are TDV6 prices holding up? I'm keep to purchase a TDV8 Finch....but am wary of the effect the new model will have and potential impact if the TDV8 is discontinued...

Nick, the TDv8 is so good that I think you will find there is still demand for them from those who don't want a 20mpg 5.0l V8 petrol engine, but consider the 3.0V6 still to be a little underpowered for their needs. The tdv8 is reckoned to be the diesel engine RRS should have had from day one....................... I'm trying to be confident here! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Difficult one to answer Nick as we've not had anything official from LR. From what I have read on the forum it looks like the TDV8 is continuing?!?

Prices in general have firmed up, and I suspect that the closed auction that I am attending on Wednesday will help to demonstrate that values should start to improve if anything!

James

I jolly well hope so, I fancied an upgrade, but the offers on my TDV6 are very poor. I'd seen a lovely TDV8 £38k - got offered £19k for mine in px

Well spotted James, thanks I meant Dec 07 but with regard to Glass's email, I got that last Monday, ie 9 Feb from some chap called John Glynn who is the "Older Car and Consumer Values Editor."

Seems a bit strange if he's quoting me that, which differs a lot from the book. Hard to know what it's really worth, but then I guess it's only worth what someone is willing to pay!
