Does anyone know this car.

[27rich]

Hello to all, am looking for a reasonably cheep but good (if there is such a thing) disco, have seen this car and am looking to know if anyone here knows anything about it, or has anyone had a look at it before.

Here is the link 1997 Land Rover Discovery V8I (4X4) Blue 4sp A Wagon - eBay, Passenger Vehicles, Cars, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 09-Jan-09 14:33:16 AEDST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350108458108)

Thanks
Rich

Sorry mate don't know it.

If this is your first, take the fuel consumption into account.
Its high, 18-22L/100.

They are good cars, just get it checked.

seems pricey to me

Got a year warrant though..... I reckon $4500 and then put it on lpg or something.... it'd be great

It must be a good 'un - it's a Trivetts car :p.

If you're serious about it, I'll try to dig up some history if you like (providing the rego hasn't changed recently).

Most places that offer a warranty are through Australian Warranty Network (AWN) and if you read their fine print closely and what they actually cover, they are basically useless. If it is through them, and since the car has 200k+ servicing would have to be at least every 5,000km or 3 months. I know someone who had their warranty voided because they had gone 50km overdue, and when it comes to paying, my mechanic has told me that they generally only cover the failed item (if at all) and generally not anything that has occured as a result.

But all in all, it sounds like it might be a good buy if you can get the price down a bit -- its been on there a while.

I find it best to treat any car as suspicious unless it can be proven otherwise in terms of service history, general history etc, cos the last thing anyone wants is to buy the lemon! And there will alywas be plenty more if it doesn't stack up!

Good luck with it! :cool:

Genuine LR nudgebar. The ends can crack at the A frame section & fall off over rough roads :mad:.

Sorry, the rego # has been changed. If you can get the VIN, I might be able to help.

I asked for the VIN and they replied "why do you want it ??? please call my office on 027631777 thanks shaun "

For a start, isn't it a legal requirement for it to be in the advert?

Depends on the state, in Victoria yes plate and vin if registered just vin if no plates.
