Hi Folks,
I'm new here so please go easy on me. I have been looking at Discos for sometime now and this afternoon put a returnable deposit on one at a local garage.
It's a 2008 57 Reg LAND ROVER Discovery 2.7 Td V6 HSE, looking at it its immaculate. The price was £18k the only thing that bothered me was that it has done 108k miles. I have been informed that the engine and turbos were replaced at 75k.
I still have to the chance to get out of this deal as the garage needs to show me the full service history which they are getting from Landrover on Monday. They have assured me that this in place. They said it only had one owner and he was a company director, so I'm guessing motorway miles if they are telling the truth.
What would your experience say on this, as I'm pretty green on this but keen to learn as much as possible. I only do about 5k miles a year. It will come with a full years MOT and a 1 month/1000 mile warranty. Should I get the AA or someone to look over it first?
I intend to keep this disco for many years and look after it. I'm just wary about the miles/new engine thing. In some ways I think the new engine is good in others I'm thinking if it needed a new engine what else is it going to need soon.
Thoughts and opinions much appreciated, £18k is a lot of money to me.
Thanks in Advance,
Mark
