I test drove this exact truck last summer and could have purchased it for $7500.00 from the former owner who lived near me. I passed on it because of the RHD issue. As it happens afterwards I wished I would have just gotten it anyways, oh well. It's a really nice truck and ran great. I believe it's worth the asking price presently from this seller. It's such a shame we can't just bring them in by the boatload. Here's the link: 85LR90

I would agree, that is one of the few non-NAS Defenders that is worth it's money. I would pay the Buy-it-Now price if I had the will to go through with selling my Disco and Series just to get a 90! If it were a 110, then I would be tempted.

I drove a 110 RHD that was sold for about $18k here in Portland. It would have taken a little getting used to, but I thought the RHD was cool.

RHD would be cool, but it would suck at McDonalds.

Wow, a four cylinder diesel.

0-60 in about a month.

Good times.

Carter, LOL too funny! I can see it now. :-)

"Why are you driving that funny JEEP backwards through the drive in?"

Tripp-
To tell you the truth our roads are so bad that speed or quickness is never an issue when I buy a vehicle. Also believe it or not it had quite the plush ride considering what it was. I just wanted it for trail and fun.

I hear ya, TPH.

It looks like a great truck and probably has buckets of torque. Probably make a tough daily driver. Particularly here in Texas.
