Help Me Buy a Used Land Rover
 

Hello all,

I am looking to buy my dream car. A 2002 Land Rover Discovery II SE. Recently found one on Craigslist of course and just wanted some tips before I go spending any money.

I will be test driving the vehicle tomorrow and just wanted some overall information on what to look for. Thanks for the help. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...9a25ea566a.png

Rust, frame rust, floor rust, frame rust, general rust, more rust. Get underneath it and check carefully especially the rear frame. Let it run take it for a good drive, get back look for rust while it idles. Keep an eye on the engine temps, look for leaks etc...

A pre-purchase inspection by a Rover dealer or specialist is worth it as well. Have them check for rust...


Oh and check again for rust.
