I bought mine without testing.. completely blind

Don't do that.

I've been working non stop recently and I need a toy so I don't need encouragement to buy something mad.

domino · Jan 28, 2015

I wont encourage you then.

I'll just say I bought this RR blind, my 2 previous Saabs blind.. and my Monaro.. blind.

Didn't regret a single one of them.

But don't do it.

No really, don't.

I bought mine blind also... From a garage 300 miles away. I then paid a poor bloke to drive it to my parents house as I was at a track day. First saw her in the dark drove the old tub home used it Saturday and then went away on the Sunday for a week to work in Georgia lol. By the time id taken a day of work and paid for the train it's was cheaper to pay him to do it.

No regrets as it was cheap enough to take the risk!

Think of it this way: no matter what you buy, you're gonna have to do work with/on/under/in it anyway... so why not!

UsefulG · Jan 28, 2015

Well it's on the eBay watch list just in case I feel keen.

brianp38dse · Jan 29, 2015

Good luck with your future purchase at least you have started the right way on here getting info first to help you

UsefulG · Jan 29, 2015

Thanks @brianp38dse it looks like its moot as the seller has ended the auction. Back to trawling the internet.

brianp38dse · Jan 29, 2015

Theres loads more out there take your time.

UsefulG · Jan 29, 2015

Found another one LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER 4.6 V8 HSE AUTO BLUE | eBay

What do you think? Mileage sounds low but it's the earlier engine.

nice saggy matress rooflining & way to dear imo

Bit too much for a 96/7

Not sure I would go through ebay for such a vehicle, keep hunting a good one will turn up

Interesting that there are so many bids and watchers on the diesel models

A vehicle with a relatively bad rep appearing to be in demand???

Could be forum members buying them for spares I suppose!!

biketeacherdave · Jan 29, 2015

you should be looking at the thor engine ones get a much later one the head linings gone and i cant believe the price there asking

Littelwill · Jan 29, 2015

For that price you'd get a tidy 1999/2001 kepp looking

Bought mine blind on Ebay after looking at a lot, no regrets.

OP should really look at the best engine, the M51

Go diesel half the problems of a v8

No No NO, the M51 is much more reliable than that.

UsefulG · Jan 30, 2015

Thanks for the advice chaps, I'm definitely going to go for a 99-01 model with a V8 (no diesel here, thank you very much) for the £2500-£3000 range. The rest I'll save for parts and repairs
