So to get it through MOT might be a challenge.
Just to give you a piece of advice (and I like hopeless cars) just total the parts spend from eBay as a proxy. That will give you the exact amount of money you have to put on top of the money you will spend to buy it.
I've been offered a L322 Td6 vogue 04 plate with 220,000 miles on it. -
Funny enough I found 3 RRs on Autotrader with 200k+ miles and they are priced as follows: £4495 2003, £6495 2005 , £7750 2006! Which means by their math my car must be worth at least 10k haha!
It's a one owner car with technically a full history, I know it's been done and some of th work but have nothing in writing.
- no history means instant drop in resell value. Find the sticker on the car where it was purchased and call around to see what you can get. Anything will at least let you tell it has a part service history. 1 owner car will be to your advantage if you want to sell it on and will explain the trip to the moon and back (200k+).
I was given it on sale or return by the owner who knows I like messing with landies and I cars in general. -
explain messing will you do the work yourself or garage will? Again just estimate the bits you can't do and then just take a proxy of rough workshop hours and their price.
I've picked up the car which has no mot, it needs a front screen 2 tyres a rear light maybe a front light. Fog light broken and the steering has far to much play. -
If the car has 20" and you will go for new fronts then say budget will cost you £100-£120 for both if you dig far enough on fleabay. If the car got the standard wheels then hopefully cheaper but still £100 is expected. Part worn tyres are cheap as anything and if you got like 3mm then you will legally pass MOT but the choice is yours. Front screen I would do on insurance so probably £60-£80 excess. If you go privately considering the screen is heated you will pay the premium. Not many second hand windscreens about. I found a TDV6 windscreen on eBay for a £100. Not 100% sure it will fit. Will you fit it yourself? As I think if you pay a company to do it they will say we will not fit it nor guarantee the swap driving your towards a new screen. And the wiper sensor is glued there too! A light for the front another £100 roughly speaking if its is the base model with no facelift. Probably another £100 for the rear cluster. I've seen a pair of fog lights for £30.
Aside from the mot work the sunroof is gaffer taped as is a wing mirror, the other is lose, the door lock and remote locking isn't working so the car can't be locked unless your inside, the lock button does work. -
Found a sunroof for £125 online. Wing mirror you can repair if the cogs are gone and the set will cost you around £40-£50 to put both right and get them to close on the button otherwise. Mirror replacement would be around £120 for a second hand unit. As per your locking issues I replaced one door latch into my 03 from an 06 with a lil retro fit. Cheapest on eBay around £30 going up to £120 depending on your model and issues.
The outside has scratches most will mop out. The inside is messy but most bits will clean up, the steering wheel up/down adjustment doesn't work. Ans I'm sure a few other bits are wrong, the clock was wrong so guessing the battery is shot and I think the air ride will drop overnight as it was parked up yesterday and was down when I got there. Also it didn't raise until I turned the lift knob. -
Will you do the mop yourself? Otherwise with the size of the thing probably you will get charged at least £200. If its messy inside you may as well do it yourself because no £5 carwash will not cut it. My steering wheel adjustment broke and I fixed it myself you can check the repair out in the Mods'n'Fixes thread I posted. It was mechanical failure and the steering wheel was going up and down which is MOT fail. If your module failed then £130 on eBay. Then not many replacement parts after. Battery will be £80-£120 depending on the brand you go for. Air ride can be anything from sensors, air pump, airlines, air bags themselves. Get diagnosis on it.
So, what's it worth as it is?
Check the car here http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201603081766689?radius=1501&searchcontext=default&search-target=usedcars&make=land_rover&onesearchad=new,nearlynew,used&model=range_rover&page=1&sort=default&postcode=bs348qz&minimum-mileage=from_200000_miles&logcode=p&adPos=4 and treat it as your benchmark for value and worth. Another thing I would point out to do a HPI check to make sure it wasn't CATed. Otherwise you will struggle to find value.
With bare minimum done for mot?
Like £1500 upwards for parts Of course this is me just scheming for parts but if you start digging and haggling like on a Egypt holiday you might get it cheaper. £50 MOT. I'm not counting the the suspension repair cost both physical play and the air faults. Get it diagnosed first. So for that alone add £200-£300.
And with the obvious work done to sort out gage faults?
- I think most of the post explains it.
Is it worth fixing or best as a breaker?
50/50 depending on your input of elbow grease
I hope that helps and I hope you get it and I didn't mean to put you off . I would attempt to get it for a symbolic amount rather than actually try to value this special car.
Still if you paid £800 for the car £1500 for the parts and X for labor considering not going upwards of £3k you will have yourself an okay car and maybe a little profit in it. But you will never get the time back!
Post a picture it will help us!
I hope that helps.
