    I reckon €2500 or so would be about right, maybe more as things are slow enough with builders not buying them as much as before.

    discount figures ?? do a bit of work yerself.... check on the english car sites for the specific model you like then usethat against the dealer as he is the only one who can lose out...

    if he dont like it, go onto the next dealer.


    and yes, everyone does that ( ripping the seats out, all metal rear doors ) , vrt on commericals till next month is 50 euro so even going north can be cheaper then here....

    Ah lads,

    How can you go giving a discount figure when the OP hasn't even told you WHAT disco he's looking at, the specs and the asking price?

    What is it? Mk1/Mk2, 'LR3' etc. Mileage? Full service history? Warranty or not? Who's the dealer? (Very relevant if you want to know how likely they are to discount heavily!)...

    How much are they asking? Are you buying for cash or trading something in?

    With regard to importing and converting, you can't really do it yourself to be honest....They'll want to see the seatbelt mounting points welded up, a full length metal floor (not just rivetted alloy checker plate) and bulkhead welded in etc when you go to VRT it. DIY conversions are generally not popular or readily accepted.

    There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. And certainly a lot more to it than saying "everyone does that"....
