Thread: $20k buys what?

I'm currently looking at a 11/2002 MY03 Auto S TD5 7 seater with just under 140,000km's. The asking price is $15,000. It has a pretty good service history at a landrover dealer, has had 2 owners, condition is good with no major marks or dents on body but the beige interior is a bit dirty. It needs new tyres and will soon require the 140K service. I'll be having a second look at it today and making a decision!!!

check history for the usual suspects!!

Good Luck!
and remember da rulez,,,

If the owners didn't care for the interior then did they really care for the car? And a service history may have unseen holes in it - any owner can refuse permission for parts of a big service to be done or refuse routine maintenance recommendations in the name of penny pinching. There are many cars on the market out there. Be very picky. But a neglected interior starts the bells ringing for me.

There is some good buys under $20,000(d2a)
We decided to update to a D2a, there wasn't anything here for sale in tassie,So we bought one from Sydney & drove it home.
Got the dealer to fax me the service history,then got in contact with the owner...bit of a chat? ,Paid my deposit,then flew to sydney.......
I Paid $19,500 plus costs (airfares,fuel,beer,boat more beer...)

Its a 2003 (I think) S model V8 Auto. 61000klms
Fitted with Sunroof,Leather,and Ace...(Leather seats & Ace not a good combination?)
Here's a couple of photo's...

That seems like really good value smally4.6 for a car with only 61,000km on the clock. It's just beginning its life. Now I'm not much of a fan of Discos but your rig looks pretty good. Have you got a snap of the inside please?

Nicely done Smalley4.6,,

To get a 6 year old car with those kays,,
even at 20K a year gives you HEAPS of life,,

and life is worth whatever you think its worth


ACE and Leather??

interesting!!!
