You can get a much better one for the asking price or offer him $1000 and see if he bites. If you cannot do a lot of the work yourself, it will be a money pit and you will hate it.
Check out more. And as far as the Transfer case shifter, the tranny must be in N for you to shift high to low or low to high which is fore and aft. Side to side should work regardless of whether it is in N or not as well as moving or not as long as wheels are not spinning. It is common for the shifter to cease up if not used frequently or taken apart and lubed from time to time.
Look at several more unless you find a really good one. Do not jump quickly or you may regret the fall.
Look at the HG Repair Thread.

Thanks for the advice Danny Lee 97 Disco....I was in neutral and could not move the transfer case lever fore and aft, so must be frozen like apparently alot of them are.
I spoke with Paul about his Disco for sale, sound like a solid truck with some minor issues.
I have 2 other local ones to look at, hopefully in my $2-3k range, they wont all be projects, god knows I have enough of them with my 94 Miata and 94 Mercedes E500.
Having owned Alfas and Fiats, I am used to tinkering with my cars, but never had a Land Rover before, but I prefer something a little different, dont see myself in a Toyota/Nissan/Ford/Chevy etc....

If you look at craigslist from time to ttime, the www.statwidelist.com site searchs all of cl for one state, you put in Rover and price ranges, it outputs the list by city/metro area.
