Default Check out a Disco II in Bellevue, OH for me

I have been looking for a white/tan Disco II with sub 100k miles and found one in Bellevue, OH. I don't want to buy it blind, nor do I want to fly out there from Austin, TX, so I was wondering if there might be anyone near that area who would be willing to have me pay them to go do an assessment of the vehicle.

I am waiting on a call back from a LR dealership in Cleveland to see if maybe I can just have it taken there and pay for an inspection, but wanted to see if I got any takers here.

Alternatively, if there is anyone in the Austin or nearby areas that has a Disco II matching that description, let me know.

I personally avoid low mileage LR's. The mileage is low because it's been sitting most of it's life vs being driven. In TX that means sitting out in the heat, mud dobber wasp galore, possible rats/mouse, and tons of brittle LR plastic.

I go for over 100K LR's in a heartbeat (especially in TX). Under 100k in 2017 = instant red flag for me.

Good points, though this Disco is in Bellevue. OH, hence my conundrum.

If you can get inspected locally that would be great. Just make sure it's not a rust bucket.
