It's a dog. and the guy selling it is a real tosser. "I haven't put a reserve on this but if she doesn't fetch what I think she's worth I won't sell her" That statement makes him a class AAA tosser. As he obviously has decided what the lowest price he'll accept is. Therefore he has a reserve price. stay well away from adverts like this. also there is virtually no desrciption as to it's condition chassis bulkhead etc. Someone selling a good Landy will be singing it's praises and someone selling a dog will keep it as brief and as vauge as possible.

If yer gonna buy off fleabay always see it before you bid. Always take someone else with you and have a really good look at everything get underneath and prod it with a screwdriver or an hammer. Don't go when it's dark (My Mistake) Don't bid more than you think it's worth or get into a bidding war and remember if you win something on Ebay it's because you were prepared to pay more than anyone else thought it was worth.

if you came round my gaff and started poking about wiff a hammer and screwdriver you be paying to get it treated again. while its best to check fer rust i would advise against using that method as yer likely to be held responsibly fer any damage you do including knockin underseal off or denting the actual metal.
oh and who reported that ebay landy fer breachin ebay regs??

Here Nobber tell 23 about ur ebay experience.
I like the fat rims/tyres (thats Fat not PHat viewers)
best advcice would be to wait , spend a few weeks browsing forums like this one asking questions , thers a lot to buying an old landy and thers a really good chance you will end up with a bucket of sh*te.
dont buy the first one you see , never , ever.
test drive as many as you can.
dont listen to the seller , a decent landrover will sell itself.
take someone with you , very important this , someone who knows land rovers.
do your homework , thers lots of different types of landrover , engines , drive trains etc etc. defo do your homework first.
if i were you id give my self a month.
i jumped into the landy ive got and bought it on a whim , it turned out to be a right bag of old dung, it took me 8 months and over 4k to rebuild it.
