2000 Land Rover Discovery II**23,000 miles**
Bit like my old '82 RR Classis 3.5, owned by an old boy who was a butcher and only used it to take his pals shooting game. A couple of months after buying it new (the original purchase receipt was still in the glove locker) he dropped dead from a heart attack or something. There was only 2,000 miles on the clock and it was as new a year later when his estate was liquidated and everything sold by the solicitors. I had acquired a newish RR 3.5 a year old and only 2K miles on the clock for 2/3rds the original price - bargain. My wife drove it for 10 years and we sold it on for peanuts.
now it's worth a fortune.
paid 4k for my 125k, March 01' CDL Ready SE D2, no secondary air system on engine, head gaskets done, no oil leaks. A really shiny and clean garage queen!
Now it has 3" of lift, and mud tires = 1,450.00
PM work = 300.00 so far...
Still more projects to do cause I'm really picky about my rigs.
Some people out there just drive um till they brake...As a matter of fact, we went and took a look at a Disco last night at a car lot down the road from our house...The verdict = 02' SE, 96k, alot of small body damage, broken lower plastic trim all over it, paint damage in some areas, oily underneath, no history of work performed on rig.....$9,900....caugh then laugh. Of coarse the salesmen said "clean one owner".
