A novices guide to Elgrand acquisition

As said before thanks for putting this together @Stempyuno.

Such great information on this forum. So glad I signed up now. Just need to pay for premium and stop mucking about with trying to get my post count up.
 
This is great - thanks for putting this together. There is a lot of info out there so it can definitely seem a bit much when you're first trying to research buying!
 
What's everyone's thoughts on where Elgrand prices are headed? I didn't even know what an Elgrand was a month ago, so have no idea what prices were in the past, but everyone is suggesting they're very high at the moment.

Is this likely to be a permanent increase, or a temporary blip? Should I buy asap as prices will probably continue to rise, or wait until next year and see what happens??

There is a Russian proverb - "forge while the iron is hot."
If there is a possibility and a desire to buy El, then you need to buy it now.
With your prices and income, I would buy myself an El 51 4x4 2.5L. ))) a little 5cm lift and would be happy)
 
There is also an English proverb that says "fools jump in where angels fear to tread" ;)
 
A 'Grand in the hand is worth two in the bush (boat)?
 
Buying an import unseen is very brave. I've just bought one from London unseen and had it delivered (At the bottom end of the price range) and that gave me the jitters!!

Yeah that is right Robson... I know enough about this dealer to know that they value their excellent reputation and so far they have dealt with me very well. I think I've got a good van and I can still change my mind with the promise of a full refund.

Are you happy with your purchase now? Hope so 😊🌷
