L322 Hmmmmm, what do you think?

Just seen this. Too good to be true or a good buy?

Trouble is, I haven't sold the merc or p38 yet so it's a bit soon. If it's as tidy as it looks though, I might just find a way!

Can anyone see any glaring issues?

Looks like a nice car until you get to the mpg...

Not going to be any worse than the p38 and petrol is 80p a litre in Czech where a large proportion of its mileage will be. Any mileage I do in UK or other parts of Europe is normally chargeable to a customer so I'm not worried about fuel.
I did consider a tdv8 but they're beyond my budget for a good one.
I'm keen on this one as it's fairly low mileage so I could get 4-5 years out of it and it would still only be a few over 100k so should keep a bit of value.

If the write up is true, it looks good, pictures good too

Only just up the road from me too. Ideal if it's as good as it says. Now just need to work out how to go and view it as I have one day at home next weekend then off to USA for 2 weeks!

Looks very nice! It does however sound cheap IMO and a £1200 gearbox 'overhaul' is a very cheap one...

Yes, I did wonder about that. I would be hoping that the bill has some details of what they did.
I did also wonder why it needed a gearbox overhaul at only 70k miles or earlier.

If you drive like a mad thing you will need a gearbox overhaul.

70k in RR money is equivalent to to 180k in a saloon car terms (weight wise).

It seems to me that range rovers are terribly unreliable, fragile, temperamental pieces of ****e that are mostly made out of plasticine and rat spit. I wish I could afford one.

Was probably just the price of an oil change at the main dealer
