ACTUAL VIN# SALLDVAB8FA387845
NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN DENIA, SPAIN, but I ship to the USA. Please check my feedback, and please read the entire listing before bidding. It is being resisted because of a non-paying buyer.
I am an American, living in Spain, and I sell and export vehicles to the USA regularly. Although shipping costs are not included in the price of the sale, I work every month with an established worldwide shipper and will work directly with the buyer to arrange delivery to the USA. I will drop the vehicle off at the port of Valencia for you at no additional cost, prepare all the proper documentation for shipping to the USA, and handle all the US customs and importation on the USA side.
If you would like me to handle the shipping, customs paperwork, and everything for you, the cost is a flat-rate of $1900, port-to-port, to your choice of New York, Baltimore, MD, Jacksonville, FL or Freeport (Galveston), TX. No additional costs. No taxes or duties. No work on your part. You just pick the car up from the port, fully cleared and released.
Once the vehicle is in your possession, you will also have all the documents you need to register the car in any of 49 states (California excepted). I can even arrange transportation within the USA, from the port to your driveway. In short, I am here to help with every step of the process of delivering this vehicle to you.
You are of course welcome to fly here and test the car for yourself before you bid, but if that is not feasible, I will be happy to take additional photos, videos, etc. and send them to you. Whatever you need. We can speak on the telephone, or by Skype, so you can see the vehicle in real time before you bid.
If you have any questions, please ask and I will post as many answers here as possible.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?With low original mileage, no rust, and a recent cosmetic refurbishment, this Defender is beautiful, tastefully updated and has outstanding curb appeal. The Chamonix White paint is recent and done to an excellent standard and the aluminum bodywork is original, straight and undamaged. All doors open and close as they should, latches and locks work correctly with the original keys and panel gaps are perfect. Matte black diamond plate features on the tops of the front fenders and in the rear cargo area, and although the 5th NATO wheel is currently mounted on the rear hatch, the hood incorporates wheel bumpers and is ready to accept a spare wheel with only the need for the vertical posts.
Black NATO-style wheels are new and have been fitted with new oversize tubeless off road tires. Rear short bumpers have been added, and the nose features a final edition grille with all new lighting.
The chassis and frame rails are entirely rust free and always have been. There is no rust in the longitudinals, crossmembers, bulkheads, floors or doors, and all frame components are free from dents or other damage that would indicate heavy off road use.
Inside, the original all-black interior has been replaced with new seats foams covered in factory-style black on the sides and backs of the seats, and Manhattan stripe cloth in the seat centers and door panels. The dashboard is original and undamaged and all gauges and lights work as original.
Inside and out it is a handsome and rugged looking 90 with elegant and modern touches that allow it to stand out in a crowd.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO DRIVE?There is a reason why the Land Rover Defender is a legend, and you get a feel for it after just a few moments behind the wheel. Rugged and feeling immensely tough at all times, the Defender also offers modern touches that allow it to be perfectly useable in a modern context and perfectly capable of everyday use.
The 2.5L Diesel turbo engine in this 1989 example fires instantly with only slight warming of the glow plugs needed, and idles beautifully with no undue smoke or noise. The clutch is light and takes up progressively, and the gearchange is extremely slick and direct - possibly the best gearchange of any Defender we have driven. Underway the lusty torque of the engine makes keeping up with traffic a breeze on any roadways, and the cabin maintains high levels of isolation and comfort. The long travel coil spring suspension and AWD system are as adept at handling potholes and train crossings as they are Saharan dunes and Amazonian mud, and progress is easy in all conditions. In everyday driving there is the perpetual feeling that you are in a vehicle which is dipping into less than a tiny fraction of its capabilities, but it is far more free from rattles, bumps and squeaks than its Series III forebears, and with very useable power and gearing it is fully highway capable.
The brakes are strong with no noise or pulling, and the power steering is light and precise. It's a heck of a nice driver, and can be used every day for any type of use you want to put it to. Commute to work in it, take it to the beach, or lark off around the world. This D90 needs nothing and with just 90, 000 original miles, is ready for as many years of adventure as you want to enjoy.
