Hello,
I am hoping some LR owner can give me some sound advice. I am thinking of purchasing a LR for an everyday driver--back and forth to work, about 30 miles a day--and have found these three to choose from.
1. 1998 LR LE 152,000 miles $2950

2. 2000 LR D II SD 95,000 miles $4800

3. 2001 LR D II SE 96,000 miles $5900

I appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks,
Brad

Whats your budget?
What are you going to be using the truck for?
How mechanical are you?
The first one will be the easiest to work on and the cheapest to keep going.
The second one the seat looks like it was cut by something, and the ABS could be almost anything.
The third one I really like the color but not the tires.

 

Thanks for the response. My budget is around 5000(for purchase) I ended getting the Silver 2000 LR SD for $4800. It seemed to be in better shape and they had it serviced recently. It needs a rear wheel speed sensor--according to the shop they took it to. The motor looked like it never ran hot, and the under carriage was pretty clean. I drove it home, around 50 miles, and it drove really well. Now I guess I need to perform the "60k" list. Have you ever replaced a speed wheel sensor?

 

No I have never replaced a ABS sensor, I just removed my fuse from under the hood.
Depending on what type of sensor you have some of them just unplug from the ABS ECU and others are hard wired directly to the ABS ECU and you need to remove the ABS ECU and then resolder the new sensor to the ABS ECU.
