Resale Specifications

[ECrider]

I have all of the Fieldmaster and all of the TRialmaster spec
And some extras
Mine therefore must appeal to everyone……………….or no one

ditto

 

[MrMike]

I think it depends on local conditions/ tastes.

Take Perth, for example:

A city with seemingly limitless funding for cars, despite there being no real challenge in driving, and only one principle direction to drive in. Nevertheless, Perth buyers will demand pristine examples loaded with bling - the more impractical the better. Black roof and safari windows - completely unsuitable for summer - will be big sellers, and wet/sandy post-swim bums will demand to be parked on leather. Stock rims will be immediately binned in favour of anything aftermarket and black, and which allow enormous tyres to fitted. Suspension lift, hi-lift jack and minimum 4 spotless orange maxtraxx will complete the look, allowing the (sealed) urban coastal strip/ winery carpark to be traversed with maximum "street appeal".

How about your hood?

I live down south @Sam we have had enough of these "Urban Overlanders" with the a fore mentioned bling and tyes, thinking they are off road warriors after hitting the Bears Track for a surf with the hoards.....God forbid if we ever see those "accessories" being used around town

I consciously try not to pass judgement on what some people might find important for them...it's very difficult and I often fail but I am going to try really hard regarding the Grenadier

I apologies if I sounded judgmental, maybe just maybe IG buyers will be a different breed?

 

[grenadierboy]

No need to apologize Mike - I totally get what you say.

I hope most Grenny owners will be different but, some will not but that's OK too

If someone thinks there is a white and a black way of configurate a Grenadier I would say "go ahead and do it".
I do not belive in right or wrong as a judgment here.
There is a wide variety of "grey" between the urban bling-bling-cruiser and the hardcore rock crawler.
My Grenadier will be red Fieldmaster and gets a black roof. Why? because I like it. And I do know that neither colour will find to many followers.
It will be my car and I do not buy it to get the best quote when selling it again.

Exactly Bemax - a wide spectrum of configurations & additions will unfold over the coming years, each to suit it's happy owner

 

[ECrider]

i have no intention of selling the Grenadier - sure you don't know what's around the corner, unemployment, ill health etc etc

but you may take my Grenadier; from my cold dead hands.......

 

[Logsplitter]

It’s your money and your vehicle so do what you like. No right and wrong just a difference of opinion and taste.
we have friends who give up everything to send their kids to private school, others who have to have to the latest whatever gadget. Personal choices and you spend your money as you please. As long as we don’t harm other people all is good.
Im not perfect but if we were all less judgemental about other people and their choice the world would be a happier place
Rant over

My grenadier 2 seater is for working. But the car will of course have both locks, all the wiring, trailer hitch, second battery and slipcovers for the seats. No ladder, I don't want vandals on the roof. I think if I want to sell the car, he will always find grateful buyers. Even if the work bring scuffs, dents and other visual defects. We must not forget, it is a car for the toughest operations. People on the used car market know that too. That decorates the off-road vehicle. Even if it hurts at first.

Yes, but you are a NEW car salesman.

Speaking of, I see that you have a position open for a new Ineos Salesman open at your establishment. Now that is a job I would think about moving to the UK for.

 

[Halliwell Jones Chester]

Yes, but you are a new car salesman.

So I should be up-selling you for every option possible to maximize profit. Personally I'd rather be straight with my customers and give advice for the needs of each individual, one of the main options I personally think would be a good option for resale is the overhead switch panel and possibly front and rear diffs. But that's nearly £3,000.00 in options to try and get back on resale, only time will tell in years to come what items help with part exchanges or private selling.

 

[Nocrays]

I agree with comment s as nice but also think that location and plenty of accessories wil assist.

I think a big decider will be how this vehicle “really” performs! not only in the field but in reliability and service support. Lose one of the three and resale may become an issue.

We’ve seen plenty of PR todate but the proof will be in the pudding.

I’m banking on it exceeding expectations

I don't think I could afford you @Davman

You have chosen to specify one of my favourite combinations which I decided not to opt for in the end. If someone is looking for a used Grenadier I figured the go to colours would be Grey, black, silver. I chose the grey with that in mind and of course the fact I do like the grey also.

Totally wrong
Someone is looking for a used Grenadier. He has the decision to take one of the 100 he can buy. 60 % are grey and silver. 35 % are some kind of white.
And then there are 5 colourful beauties in blue, green and red.
Of course most of the second hand buyers will look for stylish grey and cool silver. But some think they want something special and take the coloured cars.

Ok that’s pure speculation as we all know that in near future there will not be 100 used Grenadier for sale

 

[Tazzieman]

Meanwhile in the world downunder, mushroom is a popular and dare I say it, utilitarian colour. I would never buy a black one , nor metallic anything. It doesn't pass the rugged test

 

[Davman]

Whites/Silver/Mushrooms will be more popular down here in Oz than the darker colours.

Yeah my thoughts exactly, but I’m going silver anyway as I’m not a fan of cream.

Pinstripes have a certain appeal to them.
