Hi All

I have been reading these forum for weeks and found it very constructive and amusing, Grunt and Yella make me laugh .

I'm currently looking to buy an ex company car that just happens to be a Range Rover 2001 2.5 diesel, In my opinion its going for a good Price of £4,302 but im no expert.

I just wondered what you guys think of the price and if you have any info that may help me decide on if i should buy it or not?

A little history on the car is the driver of the vehicle was coming to our office for a meeting and the car broke down, just stopped dead the RAC towed it to our office and its been here for the past 4 months.
I think someone in our fleet department forgot about it, I chased it up and the driver says the Rac chap said it would cost £1,800 to repair anyway to cut a long story short I had the fleet department send it away for a pre check and they say the only thing wrong is the radiator is leaking and will cost £300 to repair.

The car starts ok and was driven back to my office by the garage I have run it around the local estate and it seems to drive ok and the engine sounds sweet, the garage found a fault on the passenger side seat Airbag and rectified the fault and reset the warning, all seems fine.

I'm just wondering why the car cut out in the first place as the garage didn't find any faults on the computer?

The car has no apparent rust, dents and has full service history and has done 152,220 miles the engine for some reason was replaced at 58,000 miles (no idea why).

So what do you think shall i buy it for £4,302 ?

Sorry for the long post but I have always wanted a Range Rover and you guys here sound cool and seem to know your stuff.

Kind regards

well done mate.
congratulations on the RR and the new baby.
hope the new mother is ok etc..
give her our warmest regards. and wet the babys head for us all, on here.

possible names?
Robert Richard for a boy and Rachel Rebecca for a girlie!

welcome matey, ffs tell her not to drop it, social workers and all sorts will be on yer doorstep before yer can say " have another fag britney"

Heh - you got that about half price mate - at least! Have a look on Parker's for exact year and revision. Cheapest I could get the price down to was for a 'poor example, private sale' 2.5D County and that was £7,900 or thereabouts (mind you - yours is high miles)

Even so - all the others variants were over £10k, bargain I reckon, even if it does need the £1,800 job doing you're prolly still quids in.

Cheers,
