Hello, I just found this forum so I signed up.
I am planning on buying a 96 Land Rover Discovery in the next couple of days.
He is asking 4000 for it. Is there anything I need to look at closely?
I am used to Jeeps and K5's.
Thanks,

 

$4000 is big bucks for a D1. I'd expect it to be like new or have a bunch of cool add-ons that are the same kind I'd buy for myself.

Too many things to name on a land rover. I'd recommend someone professional look at it. Preferably a land rover specialist.

 

Welcome to the board. I'm an Okie also. That does seem a little high for a D1. Hopefully some of the D1 guys will chime in for you. If you are around the Tulsa area, I can give you a couple places to have it checked out.

 

Hello,
Well, I went to check out the truck today. The ad showed it as a 96, but when I got there it turned out to be a 1998 LE. I am a new proud owner of a Land Rover, with brand new 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers, roof rack and ARB winch bumper with winch. Drove it about 120 miles back home.

 

Welcome aboard, and this might be of interest to you.

Sounds good. Post some photos.

 

here are a few pictures oof my new toy before the fun begins.

 

Nice. I don't think your spare is quite up to snuff though.

 

I have a matching spare, it just is not mounted yet.
