Default what did i get myself into?

I bought a 2003 lr 2 with 97k miles for 4k, its in great condition, very little wear. I come home and look at owner reviews and all the problems it has. Im use to fixing broken parts, not spending thousands on preventative maint.


In a month im moving from southern California to Washington. Im terrified of the lr breaking down along the way. the guy I bought the lr from only put 5k miles in 3 years, he barely drove it so I know no major repairs or major maint has been done.


Should I get rid of this before something major breaks? I cant afford to fix any major problems, let alone do it while im moving with my family.


Anyone want to buy a great looking lr? haha
