Without pushing the point, I think my post #10 gives a good explanation of quick owner changes. As well as #19 which gives a basic idea of what to look for in the paper work.I had a long wheelbase Land Rover 35 years ago and vowed to never have one again. OK as a truck for local work but awful to drive long distance.
The RR does the towing and 4 wheel stuff with comfort.
I have had three over the years. A two door with vinyl seats and droopy doors,a Vogue and the last a P38 which lasted me 10 years.
I want a diesel for reliability.
Looking at ebay there appear to be a lot of 322's being 'sold for a friend' or being in someone ownership for a short time. I get the impression a lot are bought at car auctions and then sold on.
The background in the pictures and text tell a lot about the vendor.
I hate the term fully loaded.
My other thought is to try a Volvo V90.
So is the 322 a real gamble?
Any older car is a gamble, the question is 'will you have somewhere to turn for help when it breaks down?' I am a big Volvo fan. I've had 3 series, 2 series, 7 series, 8 series and C70 convertible. As such, I've been a member of the VOC and VOC forum, and trust me, you will not get a fraction of the knowledge, advice, or even offers of help, from them, that you get here. To me the community is an important part of the decision when buying an old car.
