Is this worth it?
Looking to buy a Disco 1 and am wondering if this one seems worth it?

I'd say so. Between the tires, bumper and rack there is $3000. The description of "needs new manifold" begs for some investigation. My sense is that there is something more wrong with the truck. Could be head gaskets or cats needed. Just be skeptical.
Be sure to get it out and run it on the highway for at least a few miles. Take it to an Indy Rover garage for a look over - well worth the $100. Especially if you are not too handy yourself.
Good luck and report back.

I've been talking with the owner and he says that all the add-ons and lift we done at Rover Time in Raleigh, NC. Anyone know of this shop. I might give them a call and see if they know a little more about the truck.
As for the manifold, I am waiting for a response from him as to what needs to be replaced.

Since that deal is almost too good to be true..i would take it somewhere and have it inspected..do like a leak down test etc.
Ask for any service records...if the heads been gone through? If so, most of the time you should see some RTV from the rebuilt if they used RTV. Make sure the tranny does not shift hard, transfer case goes in gear (if not, its a bargaining tool because most of the time its just the solenoid is out). Check for driveshaft slop...things like that
