That seems a lot of money for the age, kilometres and known repairs needed. I'd hope not to be spending 1500EUR p.a. once all known issues are resolved maybe 500EUR p.a. +tyres as required. Honestly, and despite working in 'the industry' I know nothing about used car values, I'd say 4200EUR less the gearbox cost would be reasonable to me.

Markets are very different geographically - 15k EUR would get you a late L322 or early L405 in UK - But with a high chance of latent corrosion, not something you need to worry about unless it's been kept in a costal location. Something similar to your potential purchase would be circa 1500 - 1800EUR in UK, especially with a known transmission issue and those kilometres. I paid £2800 for my 2007 3.6TDV8 with known issues (HP fuel pump & inlet manifolds) and 150k miles (241,000km)

It does look like a nice clean vehicle.

No mate, I don't really, I've travelled & worked over most of Europe in the past but there are so many variations in the rules it makes the euro dream of 'one state' just that, a dream. I honestly don't know if it's be easier/cheaper to import from France, Lux or Netherlands - all of which have healthy levels of L322 ownership and at least they'd have the steering wheel on the incorrect side Failing that, there is a UK expat with a Ferrari garage in Pamplona (or was!) that has a good sideline in Landrovers, if he's still trading he might be able to point you towards something more cost-effective.

I would be looking at around the asking price with the gearbox fully sorted. However, as others have said it's a different market, but bear in mind the long term availability of spares. At leat in your part of the world they don't (?) spread salt on the roads so rust may not be the problem it is in the UK. |

Second hand car prices are much higher in France than in UK so comparisons are difficult. A possible area for purchase is either Germany or Belgium. Germany used to be more reasonably priced but don’t know if that is still the case. Needs to be researched.

As the owner of the same Td6 for the past 12 years there is no way l would buy a similar vehicle that had travelled 330000k, it may look a nice, clean, good looking vehicle but unless very extensive replacement of numerous expensive components has been undertaken over the years it is an old worn out car.

MoT is UK annual road worthiness test (Controle Technique in France).
