How many miles did your landy have on it when you purchased it? Thats a good price you got it for, I was looking at similar aged disco's to yours something i wouldn't mind bumping about abit..
You looked into any winching equipment??? If i was going to do it i think i'd get a winch on the front to help with any sticky moments.. All i'd need is a decent Disco, nobbly tyres and a winch and i'd be happy as a pig in sh!t...  Love it!!!! |
I think we found ours and the others we viewed in the back of the local auto trader or free ads, could have been Friday ads actually.
When you're ready to do it and can have the cash in your hand, all you have to do is give my mate Noddy a call, arrange an afternoon that's good for him and then call the sellers and set up times to meet them Noddy will not let you buy a vehicle that's going to see you out of pocket and if he sees one that he thinks is good, he'll tell you what is a fair price for it. If the seller then tried to justify the price, Noddy would be polite and just point out all the reasons why the vehicle is not worth more than your offer and he won't let you agree on a bad deal. I trust him completely. We bought this and it's fab. My ex bought one the same age for £3k last year without getting it checked out properly believing he knew what to look for and he's had all sorts of trouble. 2 months ago the bonnet flipped up, breaking the windscreen and doing all sorts of damange to the wings and such. Then, 3 weeks ago, the engine blew and he now has no disco.
Noddy is good as gold. He'll give the same service whatever type of vehicle you decide to go for. He also has an enourmous assortment of used parts so getting things done on the cheap while waiting to afford shiny new bits is never a problem.
