Default I think I could make a dollar on this '03

2003 Land Rover Discovery SE7 SUV AS IS $1600 - New Brunswick Cars For Sale - Kijiji New Brunswick Canada.

What do you think?

Should sell up here in the 4-5g range. I have a 2000 for a parts truck if I need power steering parts.

probably going to need a bit more then power steering. There is a better chance of making money playing the lottery.

if your lucky it only needs power steering box and head gasket and it an 03.
So you end up with another grand into it, you now own it for $2600 and 3-4 days labor.
Lets say your labors is worth $400 a day, that another $1600. so your into it for $4200 and you might get $4-5k for it?

Well, I was thinking I wouldn't pay more than 1200 for it. That 1600-2000
is all I was hoping to make. Plus I would learn the HG job for when I have to do my '04.

re: well they say you cant put a price on a good education

About $8500 a semester at state university near me, including tuition, dorm, food card, books, endless fees. What ever you save doing your own wrenching should go in the college fund.

If presnt owner could not afforn simple repairs, then it may be more involved. But could be fun as well. Did not read the posted link.

As for the Disco, if the car lot's mechanic could not do it economically, then you'll be wrenching in the moonlight.

not a car lot

If you ever want to make any money on a Disco, bring one up to Vermont or Maine from Arizona. People will go crazy for the rust free ones. That's one of the only ways you'll make any money.
