to buy or not to buy
Hey all,
I've been wanting to make the jump to a Disco for awhile now. I'm not afraid of maintenance as I have a Jag and know all about British reliability. I found an '04 for a good deal but it has 174k on it. The owner says "I've made all the common high mileage LR Disco repairs to this vehicle (head gaskets/plug wires, transfer case, new front drive shaft, replaced water-pump/timing chain/oil pan gasket and front main seal, o2 sensors and mass air meter, power steering pump, new windshield this summer)" and there are "newer terra grappler tires with 14k" on it. How many miles can one expect out of these engines?

I think 174k is a little high for a 04. Considering my 2000 has 176k...

He's asking 5k on craigslist but emailed me and said he'd take 4k. It would be a 3rd vehicle for me for when I want to throw the kids in to go to the drive-in (yes we still have 'em in Minneapolis ), camping, haul the kayaks, and maybe I'd like to try off-roading once in awhile. This would be an occasional use vehicle in the summer but a bit more in the winter. Speaking of kayaks, has anyone done it? Isn't it pretty high to be hoisting kayaks?
