Ok so I've owned a 99 disco II for a few years so used to all the rover quirks. I use it to do fix and flips out of ( loaded with tools) and to pull my 19' boat. It's in decent shape but leaks like crazy in the driveway and everywhere I park. Kinda tired of this one and really don't want to fix much else or dump any more money into it ( although it really hasn't been that much as im an avid DIY guy and have all the tools).
Thinking of buying a 98 range rover in what appears to be in good condition from the pics and Craigs add ( going to see it this weekend). Will use as described above.
What to look for? What will I notice vs. the disco? Benefits? losses ?
Thanks for all opinions!

 

I wouldn't drop my Disco for an older RR. Unless you're looking for a new project.
Getting these vehicles up to snuff is usually an expense venture, do you want to fix someones elses ride?

 

If you were to get a P38 I would go for a newer one. I have a Disco II and a P38. Its definitely harder to find HD/Aftermarket part upgrades for the p38. Overall your parts selection will be more limited, but if you're not trying to equip your rover to explore the wilderness that might not matter to you. You should make this guy an offer before he breaks it down and sells it in pieces..

Judging by all the Range Rovers I looked at before I made my purchase, most people were trying to sell me their problems.
