I am looking to buy an adebture vechicle. Wondering what you guys think about this rig.

 

That’s a great looking beast for all seasons!
I see its rocking a dual red top and yellow top battery.

 

Among the things which you cannot see from the pictures, and the thing that is often times most difficult, is the electrical system. The dual battery setup indicates it has been looked after, but you never know what that 18 yr old kid did behind the dash to put in the 'kick ***' stereo when he owned it prior to the current owner.

Of course head gaskets are a concern.

Look for rust in C pillars, front foot wells, and cargo area deck.

Color of fluids can also help weed out those that look very nice on the outside (like this example), but have not been well cared for.

Best of luck whatever you decide. We'll be here to help with whatever comes up.

 

What's the purchase price on it?


I ask because I have a very similar vehicle but mine is absolutely documented, not only by previous owner, but in my numerous threads and posts about upkeep and maintenance here and the other LR site and I -could- be convinced to part with it (I need a truck, honestly, which is the only reason I would consider selling).


Mine doesn't have the awning or RTT. I bought, used, and then sold a RTT because they are a pain in the butt and I didn't like it. Much better to have a good solid stand up canvas tent than a RTT in my opinion.


Mine ain't cheap though, but every single thing on it works with the exception of the air recirc button (but the air blows cold) and even hauling a trailer, running a/c and 90 degree temps my truck stays at 204 or below F.

 

He is asking 12.5K with everything, but I don't exactly need the fridge and the roof tent, so there can be some room for negotiating.

CONS

A few scratches and dents here and there. It's an off-road truck. The scratches have been painted so they aren't exposed to the elements.
A bubble of rust below the passenger side upper skylight window. It's been treated to stop spreading, but just so you know.
A spot or two of surface rust can be seen on the bumpers and steps. Nothing major. They just need to sandblasted and powder coated.
The drivers seat has about a 2" tear in the leather where the seam is coming apart.
The ladder for the RTT doesn't reach the ground fully. We use a wood crate, which you can see in one of the photos. A new ladder will run you $125.


EXTRAS (included but not installed)
Land Rover Carpet mats (front and back seats)
Cargo cover
Sway bar
Touch up paint

We've taken this truck on three trips from central Florida to North Carolina for Overland Expo, and numerous trips and excursions around Florida. This Disco has never let us down. It's really just an amazing truck and I would keep it if I could. Just doesn't make sense financially and it's time to move on.

Price: $12,500

That price is with everything except the second rack (the Safety Devices). I could include the Safety Devices rack for an extra $900.
If you don't want the fridge and slide, take $500 off.
If you don't want the winch, take $1000 off.
If you don't want the tent, take $500 off.
I will not sell those items separately until after this truck sells, and only if the new owner doesn't want those items.

Here are some photos. I'll post interior photos soon.
One thing to note: These photos precede the detail and new winch power pack. I'll post updated shots when it stops raining here.
Also, the kennel in the back will not be included.

Thanks folks!

 

This is what I got. I contacted the seller, but no response ever since.
They might've already sold it, or have second thoughts?
