You're not goddamned selling it!!

 

The Defender 90 is much cooler, IMO. And, I bet it will hold its value pretty well. If you just want to write the check and start driving it, I'd look for a nice, livable D90. If you're looking for an involved process (both pre and post purchase), the FJ 40 could be a good choice.

If it were me, I'd look for a nice example of a Defender 90. Something that is still true to its original intentions, but has adequate brakes, a (somewhat) livable suspension, functioning HVAC system, etc.

Also, I assume you have the inclination to do some camping and outdoor adventures when you're not working. It's like a GT3, sure, you can DD it, but the real justification is to enjoy it during your free time, in its intended environment.

 

I think the one you first posted looks amazing. I love the D90's. Really great trucks/jeeps whatever. I love them. A friend of mine had one, and I have wanted one ever since. My sister had a wrangler that I would drive often. It was fun, but I would shoot myself if I had to drive it everyday. Especially on the highway. I would not recommend it as a daily driver. Too much road noise, and wind noise, not so stable at highway speeds. Great second car though. show us pics if you get it.

 

Thanks guys. Im gonna go drive one in the weekend just to see how it is.

Now i have no idea what to get.

Stalin vetoed the idea as well, although my mother thinks it's a great idea, bizzare.

 

id DD the first one as i only drive 2 miles to work everyday. having been in a few, i would stay off the highway and just cruise around and not worry about climate control as in an old car or vert...

the fj is cool, but not nearly as cool. good luck on your decision. btw, the accessories on the d90 are fairly expensive.

 

been rocking a 110 for a while ... it is the coolest car in the lot. always.

its the least practicle day to day car ever.

 

We had a Jeep Wrangler as well. Wrangler is a Lexus compared to a Defender. That I said, I love the Defender. Park one next to a Jeep Wrangler and you'll make the Jeep owner run and hide...
