No matter where you are, there are some basics.

1. If you can, spend $ on an hour or so of time from an indy Rover shop to examine the vehicle.

2. Look at our technical area for ideas of things to look for, and what kind of service will be needed after the sale.

3. Use www.statewidelist.com which can search all of craigslist for a whole state, and give you an output grouped by city, you put in "Rover" and price ranges, etc. Gives an idea of the local market.

4. Rovers are high performance off road, interesting to drive, and like lots of swanky machinery; high maintenance. Not a lot of money if you DIY, but lots of things that need to be done. These were not built for the change oil every 25,000 whether it needs it or not crowd.

I have had 2 but I know I still make mistakes when buying. I fixed up an 01 using this site and the rave manual, wrote it off, bought an 04 I shouldn't have, worked on it and sold it.
It's at Cadilac of Naperville. I tried to post a link but it didn't work.
