GarageScout Take

The 2025 V8-to-300Tdi/R380 conversion is the defining feature here, with an upgraded turbo, aluminum intercooler, rebuilt injection pump, and rebuilt five-speed. At 194,000 miles, it sits just above the middle of the observed range for this generation.

Strengths

Suspension lift with Terrafirma shocks and 16" Defender 110 steel wheels with recent tires
Brake system refurbishment including rebuilt booster and replaced pads and calipers
Interior features heated power-adjustable front seats in Bahama Beige leather and modified center console for manual shifter

Watch For
