For the past eight years, E.C.D. has been pushing the realms of classic Land Rover vehicles and has continually developed new ways to innovate the heritage-styled vehicles. Since its inception in 2013, E.C.D. has also ensured its premium luxury vehicles grow in value and preserve their worth through quality, programs, and service.

A Rare Piece of Heritage

One of the reasons E.C.D.’s custom Defenders hold their value is because of the rarity of the vehicle itself in the first place. The vehicles were rarely sold in the U.S. and only in limited quantities for a limited time. This factor of being rare in North America contributes to the vehicle being a truly great addition to any collector’s classic vehicle collection. Import laws and other factors ensure the vehicle’s numbers in the U.S. remain limited.

Quality in Every Aspect

Another factor in E.C.D.’s builds retaining their value is the quality of every build. Since every vehicle is completely rebuilt from the ground up with modern features and finishes, it ensures the vehicles will remain capable of taking on the 21st century. E.C.D. has built relationships with the highest quality of Defender parts suppliers, so we are confident our vehicles can be fully customized with the highest quality products.

We even went through the steps of making sure we can make some of our builds fully serviceable nationwide. We currently offer a range of G.M. drivetrain options for our custom Defenders. Not only is each powertrain easily serviceable by any G.M. dealer nationwide, but the engines also include a 2-year, 50,000-mile warranty. The LC9, LS3, LS3+, LT4 engine options offer a powerful performance experience for your build.

Value Trading Programs

The most significant offer E.C.D. provides with each of its vehicles is the ability to easily trade-in and trade-up your custom Defender at any time. This program means that any one of our clients can bring us their original E.C.D. custom Defender and trade it in at value to put towards a whole new custom Defender. This is amazing for, say, clients who maybe added some new members to the family could be children or furry family members, and they’d like to trade their custom Defender 90 for a larger custom Defender 110.

This offer also extends to those individuals who simply want to resell their vehicle for any reason. E.C.D. offers to help facilitate the sale of your custom Defender as a courtesy to you. We will put your custom Defender to market on our website at cost, ensuring your vehicle retains its value.

As we’ve stated before, an ECD vehicle actually increases in value by an average of 16% over time. That means if you were to sell your vehicle 2-3 years down the road, you would be able to sell it for more than you bought it rather than buying, for example, a G-wagon from Mercedes.
