Welcome to LZ. :)

Avoid dealers if possible, they operate to make a profit.
And make sure you have done plenty of mileage in a Landrover before buying one, they are not to everyone's taste.

Driven one a few times when I was younger but never owned one. Thought now was the time as I don’t need a family car as much now and could do with something to fill my time and learn a bit more on mechanics rather than just the basic servicing stuff. Also live in a bit of a rural area and getting fed up being stuck in the snow.

That is good.

It will certainly fill your time, and you will learn about mechanics. :D

They don't get any more comfortable as you get older, though.
 
Hi and welcome!

There are lots around. Buy on condition and not age. If you want to buy from a dealer, get a copy of one of the LR magazines and look who advertises there. Unfortunately, there are quite a few companies that are less than honest. A quick search of the forum here will give you an idea about these...

Check all serial and chassis numbers as they are easily stolen. Thoroughly check the chassis and bulkhead for rust. When you get one, invest in lots of security measures too, as you don’t want to lose it to thieves...

A disco 2 makes a good alternative. Much more affordable, less likely to get nicked and more comfortable.

Fair point. V8 Auto D2 are a lovely drive, and good in snow.

And for the price difference, you could pay for fuel for 5 years.

Thanks for all the welcoming greetings, just got a 200tdi 90 at the weekend. Had a great drive back home, not even a stutter. Have reviewed my plan to fit a stereo though, seems a bit redundant.

One question though is it the done thing to wave at new defenders?
