Even a private sale should let you take the car for a test drive. Anyone who says you can't test drive a car they have for sale is beyond dodgy.

Proper stealers would take you for a drive on trade plated.WALK AWAY AND DONT LOOK BACK. Or offer them £400 for spares or repair

No proper test drive and no warranty = spares or repairs car, so for an 06 TD4 don't pay more than £1500. I bought an 02 car and even with a test drive I didn't notice a crunchy 3rd gear. I was lucky and filling the gearbox with atf fixed it but I could have had to replace the gearbox.

I was going to say £1000 just because it has plenty of MOT but figured because of the year and mileage it would probably be worth £1500 to someone who can fix it themselves (All Freelanders need work doing regardless of MOT). If you use a garage to do your maintenance then run a mile.

But if you are unable to do a test drive it's only worth scrap price, its a gamble

My patience might have paid off....I've found a TD5 Disco 2 with no chassis rot, in excellent condition, great mileage and at a good price. Spoke to the bloke today, viewing the vehicle on Sunday.

No chassis rot that you can see..
Be careful to check the insides of the chassis rails where the fuel tank hangs.
