Hi guys

New to this forum so hello everyone.

I'm about to purchase this http://oxfordprestige.co.uk/site/display_v...ck_ref=129

What does anyone think?


Lespaul

187,000 miles  2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)
2005 GSX 1400 K5

Would not buy anything from someone who doesn't understand how to use capital letters. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

It will be a brave man who buys that .................

Going off the number of blown TDV8 engines posted on here I would be very careful buying this. If you must get it checked and ensure you put a cast iron warranty on it

Many owners love them but when they go wrong it's a nightmare

You can spend same again on an engine and that's if you can find one  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Bad idea then? It's had most things changed air compressor for instance just last year

Who was the previous owner -- Captain Kirk  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

This might look like a cheap luxury 4x4 and the one owner sounds nice but these are not cheap to repair if things go

I'm on my second new one so lucky enough to be covered by warranty but I have read the painful posts of owners and I would never have one without warranty now despite running other LR's without a care in the past  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

[quote="lespaul"]Bad idea then? ............Yes

In all honesty from the pics it does look like a very tidy Sport - totally original ( updated alloys ). If it had 87000 less miles then maybe - but as already mentioned it really is not worth the risk - these motors can be money pits

Is it me or is the spare wheel missing

Welcome to the forum  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

Don't give up though , plenty of others out there

i would say for one owner to keep it for 7 years and 187k miles its proberly not a money pit, but price is too much and you wont get a warrenty on with them miles, if they offer on e read the small print as it probly cover nothing after a certai miles

Well this is a small list of what's been changed

MAINTENANCE: WIPER BLADES 30/6/14. NEW TYRES 4/7/14 + WHEEL ALIGNMENT+ GEOMETRY. REAR BRAKES & CALIPER 18/6/14. AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR 12/5/14. WHEEL BEARINGS, SUSPENSION ARMS, BATTERY, EXHAUST MANIFOLD & TURBO 27/2/14 176K MILES. ALL BELTS/TENSIONERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

Nearly 13k. I think for an extra 1k or so you'll find one with almost half the miles. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST.

well we buy any car put an 07 with them miles at £8400 so want to be more like £9500-10k tops, maybe wait a few weeks for it not to sell then try a daft offer
