Hello,
I am new to the forum ( posted into the intro section).
I was hoping to get some advice. I am looking at a 2003 Silver Disco 2 GS - 2,500 GBP with 140K miles.
The owner has kept the car for 4 years , covered up ( car cover) under a porta roof and done literally 4K miles in 4 years.
He sent me picture of the chassis and he had it Waxoyled ( bits of it) - so not a professional full treatment.
This makes it difficult to see rot on the Chassis. He says there is just surface rust and the MOT doesn't show anything about rot - just rust.
I have looked through the buying guide - but I cant find any pictures that specifically say "yep it can look like this and it is still worth saving or nope this is a welding job"..
Oh forgot to mention the car is 450 miles away from me - so I can't check until I fly down on the basis it looks good enough to buy.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
