Thread: I Like this vehicle

Looks nice, but a dealer who describes a 1975 LT-95 as a slick gearchange has lost all credibility with me!

I once had a 1975 Range Rover and it was the best Rover vehicle I ever owned.
A really good car I wouldnt be paying 20K for it but it would be a good one to get.

I have seen that one and really liked it as well, but to be honest it is not far off mine in condition by the looks of it and mine was $3000. See pics attached.

Geez, $20k for a 26 year old car??!

There's certainly much cheaper out there!

How about 36 year old car. You better lay off those lizards - I hear they affect your mental arithmetic.

$20,000 for an old Classic Rangie, these guys are obviously having a lend of someone! It will be because of the low Klms, the fact that it was driven in first gear, low range everywhere, carrying a carload of cattle is of no consequence, maybe it is like a Triumph Bonneville I bought brand new in 1968, it spent half the year that I owned it in the dealers workshop being repaired for oil leaks and other problems, so how could it be clocking up the klicks, sold with v low numbers on the clock.
To quote Michael Caton, (Dad in the movie ,The Castle), "tell 'em they're dreamin'", a mate bought a brand new RR 2door in 1976, paid a whopping 14 grand for it, the same price as we had paid for our first home two years before. I bought an old '77 two door some years later (1989) and ran it for 11 years and about another 600,000, needing only a + 20 re-bore, pistons and the heads serviced, and I agree with one of the other posts, it was a really great machine, it took us everywhere as a family and its only problem was an unquenchable thirst for petrol, and who can afford it at todays prices?
Bit harsh judging people who like old cars as morons without them the 4WD world would be full of overweight Landcruisers and Patrols, who are only just catching up with that very same standard set by old Rangie all that time back, and some will say still have not got it yet.
So to the guy who's eyeing the 20K Rangie as a good purchase, put $14,000 of your money in the stock market and with the rest buy a Disco D1 300Tdi.
And as far as 41K for a 60 series 'Cruiser goes, hope they had two of them so they could smash them together.

Actually, one of the reasons that the car is almost certainly not worth what they are asking, is that the seller (dealer) doesn't know how far the car has travelled. I believe that the odo on a Rangie that old only goes to 99,999. To get a premium price for a car that old it should come with a stack of paperwork so that it's condition (and distance travelled) can be (mostly) verifed. Unfortunately, the seller in this case has nothing.

what's the chances this thread was started to advertise the car to enthusiasts on this forum? don't believe the thread originator has been heard from since.
