Default it is good?

Im thinking in buying a used Discovery II
Year 2002, 60,000 miles.
What you think about it?

Does this SUVs broke easily?
I mean if they have good lifetime.
Or does it have to repair it everytime?

I had the very same concerns and questions six years ago when I bought my first Land Rover. I was warned that it would be a piece of junk and send me crying to the bank to cover the repair costs on a regular basis.

I have a 99 Disco Series I with over 175K miles on it. The only repairs I have done are the following: seal on the shaft entering the transfer case - two seals on the power steering box - water pump, fuel pump, universal jointsand naturally, tires and brakes (by the way - original rotors are still on the vehicle). It has been the most dependable vehicle I have owned. I live in PA and put about 25K work miles on it a year - it has been back and forth to the midwest, florida, maine and massachusetts, all 10+ hour trips one way many times.

The vehicle you are considering has had many improvements made from the Series I - I expect that if it ws properly maintained (I kept to the original service intervals/requirements religiously) that you should expect it to be a reliable vehicle.

As with any used car - you may want to have it looked over by a professional before purchasing. There are many independent garages who will do this for a modest fee.

Hope this is helpful. Happy trails.

Find one that was taken care of and then do the same
and you will have a good time.

All but the mpg's are good
