Default SW Disco Search questions.

Hey guys (and gals!). Well ... I'm still in the search for the ever elusive Landy out here in Las Vegas. It seems that out here they've turned into a "poor man's (or woman's) Range Rover. So just having that nifty little green badge is a status symbol!

Anyways, I digress. Since now these trucks are not really used as the LR gods intended them to be used, but more as inter-city commuters. Stop and go traffic, 120+ degrees on the asphalt in the summer, dust everywhere ... yada yada yada.

Are there any region and climate specific issues I should be worried about when looking?

I read the tech portion showing the overarching general issues and everything, but since these trucks were driven inner city on asphalt for most/all their lives, could there be any "extra" issues I should look for?

No extra things to look out for.
Just regular maintenance like any other car.
Try and check out everything to make sure it works.

I would change out all the hoses and rubber tubing and such. They usually degrade more with hot temps over extended timeframes.
