Well there's not much to say about the truck since the pics don't tell a whole lot other than the drivers fronts turn signals needs to be replaced. Maybe if there was a picture of the dash while the engine is running. That would let you see any DTC's like the SES, CEL, or dreaded 3 amigos (ABS, TC, and HDC lights all on).

You MUST use premium gas.
You MUST get the front drive shaft rebuilt with serviceable zerks in the double cardon joint (end nearest the t-case).
Search here for 60K service list, head gaskets, looking to buy/new owner, and the 3 amigos.

These are great trucks, and you shouldn't buy the first one you see. Take it for a good long test drive to see if any codes appear. Plan to spend up to $2K to fix the PO's neglect and you'll have a great running truck.

 

Well, unless you are willing to drive it at 5mph all the way home I wouldnt buy it.
The rear air suspension is bad, the front grill is busted and so is the left front turn signal.

That will fix it forever.
http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/RKB101200.cfmx2 to keep the rear air suspension.
If you look close to pic #3 you can see that the back of the truck is lower than the front.
There is a reason it is priced so cheap. If you are willing to fix it then it is a great buy and I would jump on it.
All else being good of course.

 

See I was thinking that the rear was sagging too, but I don't see and SE7/HSE7 logo on the side. Can you get the SLS for a non seven seater?

 

so the 7 at the end means its a seven seater?

 

D2G-If you look at the back of the truck it has the rear step. And yes, SLS was avaliable on non 7 pass.

Kumba-Yes XX7 means 7 passenger.

 

So I woln't need to fix the suspension?

 

Yes, you will need to fix it.
I bet you could pick that truck up for $2000 out the door.
Anybody who drives it is going to walk away, it will go back to auction because nobody will want to fix it or know how much it will cost to fix.
If you can do the work yourself it would be a good buy, if you need to pay to have it done then you are probally looking at another $1000 just for the suspension.

 

That Disco has had a front end collision. The bonnet is out of line, the front grille is out of position as already stated, the indicator is bust............etc. I wonder what other damage is behind the front bumper, and yes the *** looks saggy to me to, but it is cheap !! what you have to way up is............IS it cheap enough ?

 

As it is. it's near the top of my budget... sigh ... I found good priced ones with nothing wrong, but there too far away...WHY!
