Hey Gang:

We have owned 2011 and 2016 LR4. My wife loves them. Looking at a 2008 LR3 HSE with 113,000 miles for my daughter's first car. There is one for sale around the corner from me in a neighbor's yard - been there for 3+ months. It looks very clean. Tape cassette does not work and rear parking sensors need attention.

What big ticket items should I be wary of?

They want $9k. I was planning to offer $7k.

Thank you!

 

?? Are you sure it's an LR3 and not a LR2? 3's didn't come with cassette players as far as I know...

That said, your best bet is to take it to the dealer or a very good indy mechanic who knows LR3's and have them do a pre purchase inspection. To try and remember the litany of things to look for would be repeating what has been better said in other posts on this forum.

 

....or maybe a D2.

 

See the thread here for a checklist:

Thank you for the info. It is an LR3 - not sure why I was thinking cassette.

I am familiar with the PPI process.

Thank you for the link djkronik57.

 

Barring any major issues, be ready to spend approx 3K at a rover shop to get the maintenance caught up. I tell this to all potential buyers.
