If the EAS is new then that should be O'k. Look for full service history. Make sure all electrics work & no fault messages on dash. Saging roof lining. And be very careful if it has got hot or boiled Which can cause slipped liners in the motor. Alround there pretty easy to work on

There beautiful to drive. So dont unless you intend to buy because you will be hooked like me. Good luck and maybe take a couple of examples for a drive as they can be very different as I found out.

My thoughts would be to consider the fact the RR is designed to be smooth to drive , more so than any other LR so if theres roughness beware! Pay a LR specialist to check it over for u and also consider the accessories u my want and weigh them up against fixing a crappy transmission for example i.e. u may pick the car up cheap cos it has a big mech problem but is converted to gas with a bullbar, roof rack, rear wheel carrier, a sporty exhaust ,poly air bags and coil conversion ect

Thats what i did cos i figured the petrol running costs would be my biggest spend all up and had to have the lpg conversion as it cuts my fuel bill in half.
For me thats important as my daily drive

However it goes good luck to and one things for sure if you buy one, good or bad you'll love it !!!!


Kind Regards
