The Defender was discontinued in 1997 because it was thought to be too expensive by BMW to spend the money necessary to redesign the instrument cluster and add the electrics for Airbags. As Rover Group was causing huge losses at BMW this was a reasonable decision, as U.S. sales would not pay for the engineering and development costs. Bob Dover, President of Land Rover, has stated a desire to bring Defender back to the US. I doubt if this will happen before 2004-2005, but I certainly hope it will be back by then.  For info on the current Defender, go to www.landrover.com and check the UK, Australian, or South African sites. They all still sell the current D90-110-130 models.

Need some advise on the realistic asperations of selling. We have had 3 Defender 90s go on the market in my area in 18 months. 2 of the 3 were clean, really clean, & 1 was toasted. The 2 went on the private market at above dealer costs (by Edmunds, Kelly Blue Book, and Galves). Is demand really that strong?? How well are these holding value?

#19 of 128 Made the Jump & bought a Defender 90 by arriscar Aug 15, 2001 (10:09 am)
1st off - thanks to all for the help. The gods seems to shine and everything fell into line. Next thing I know - I own a '94 Defender 90. I live in Central New Jersey, USA. Anyone know of or have contact information on owers groups, clubs, etc or good web site. As I spend time going through the owners manual and over the vehicle, I seem to get more and more questions. Guidence appreciated.

You poor, poor man. You have no idea the utter horror of which you're in store... oil spots on the garage floor are only the tip of the iceberg!   There is only one solution... one way to avoid this creeping terror. Carefully package the D90 and ship it to me here in Alaska. I'll make sure it's kept under lock and key, away from women and children, it won't harm a soul.   It's the least I can do.   Good show, my friend. Enjoy your D90!
#22 of 128 1 year with my D90 love and hate... by arriscar May 14, 2002 (1:16 pm)
While looking for info on a 3rd car, stopped by this spot. Realized it has been a year with the '94 D90. A year of love for me and my daughter - hate for my wife. What can I say, oil and steering fluid spot the driveway, garage, and a few things that blew under the frame. The D90 was a great drive in the winter, though spring showers a bit much (fixed with window insulation stuffed everywhere. I can now get the top off and on in 20 minutes (have no idea if that is good/bad but first few times took 2 hours) I have not gotten off road nearly enough but do when I can. How deep is my love? Been offered 30% premium over my purchase price, and turned it down. Then again, if the $$$ was the motivation, I'd never have purchased it in the first place.

They're probably the best off-roaders one can buy. Bar None.   As a dealer who sells lots of used LRs.. I buy every clean D90 I can buy "right" and sell them MUCH faster than I can replace them.   I recently sold a 110 with 75K miles for $35K and since it sold before the ad expired (Sold 6 hours after the ad hit I think) I had over 25 calls. With at least 4 of those people asking to leave a second deposit on it.   So, yeah, people want em, and for good reason!   I am still kicking myself for not keeping the truck for myself...   Bill
