Hi everybody, I was searching for a Range Rover Classic 3.9, and I finally found it. But my knowledge is very short about those cars and I need your experience. I got some photos of the car from engine, inrterior, exterior and under of it. I can say that interior looks vey clean even it is not cleaned for a long time. Also body shape looks perfect and even there is no scratch on it. But I saw some oil leakege at the engine and under car components, like differentials and hoses. This car is from goverment so I couldnt turn the engine on. But I talked with some people about it, they told me that this car was never driven at hard offroad conditions but mostly city driving and sometimes light offroad conditions and was waiting at that place for 1 year. From those and from pictures;

- Is it possible to tell form the pictures that this Range Rover Classic is a good and a clean car?
- Will be there a major problem with it?
- Are there any Chronic problems with this car?

Thank you so much

 

84k miles? Throw down $500 and walk away with an all time classic. A good cleaning and waxing. Great color.

 

Thanx for the reply. Actually it has 53k miles. 84k is in kms. So from the pictures what do you think about oil leaks at the engine and under car parts?

 

Most of the leaks are very common to a Range Rover and fixable. So it looks like you get to play catch-up with the maintenance. And I really hope you can do your own work because this can get expensive.

And you asked, " Will be there a major problem with it?
- Are there any Chronic problems with this car?"......

No one on the planet can tell you this without a full inspection. BUT....this is a Land Rover so I'd say YES there will be issues. No worries, start this thing, inspect it the best you can AND PAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE FOR IT!!!

 

What he said. They all leak. Every one on the planet. Pay as little as you can and do the work yourself. Give it a good undercarriage cleaning and see whats what. Clean the engine bay but do not use a high pressure washer. It isnt a Toyota so dont expect it to start right up and take you cross country.

Do not toss the brushguard. Refinish it and reinstall.

Oh and 53k. Wow.

 

I really like the original Michelin XPC 205/80/16 tires. I haven't seen those on a RRC in forever. That being said, based on age and the climate you are in check those tires for dry rot, splits/cracks. And be ready to replace them.

 

Perfect approach, thank you very much. By the way I m not sure if the car is with catalytic convertor or not?

 

Thank you for the advice

 

No Cats on this truck. They would be where the arrows are pointed.

 

Thanx, thats what I want to know, one more thing. Do you think side steps and bull bar are original?
