I think I found my replacement... - Land Rovers Only

texasrover · 11-09-2006, 08:28 PM

I ran across this listed in the DFW area... I totalled my 98 disco. As much as want to hang on to it... I ran across this and OH MY GOD>>>

I just have to convince my bank to make my loan on this...

The asking price is 25,000.

Nice part is it is a dealer. Say, will any mechanical parts from a 98 Disco work on this?

It is a 94.

DUDE!!! That would be sweet!!!!!!!!

My only concern is the credit union. When I purchased my last vehicle they looked closely at the miles and year of the vehicle. I dont know exactly where the cut off is made.

My credit union will make loans for used cars at 6.25% and 6% if I set up direct pay.

I am already nervous about this...
I am going to make a honest effort at this one. If anyone else wants to look it over be my guest.

Have you physically seen it yet? I can't find interior pics!

texasrover · 11-09-2006, 09:33 PM

I ran across this today. I want to run down tomorrow to see in person.

Here are some picks of the inside.

JungleRR · 11-09-2006, 09:33 PM

WOW! Thats a beaut... I hope you get it!

Funrover · 11-09-2006, 09:44 PM

With it being a bit on the basic side and the tear in the seat you should be able to talk them down some!!!

Thor · 11-09-2006, 11:01 PM

Drive it first for as long as you can. See if you like the agricultural feel of that manual.

I prefer auto for off-road for the torque multiplication and the fact i only have two feet so two pedals work better for me, as I left foot brake off road.

There's a sweet Diesel D90 for sale in CO for the same money.

25k for a 1994? You can do a lot better.

The 94 and 95's had the shitty top. Also, make sure the LT77 transmission has been ditched and replaced with a R380.

You should be able to get a chrisp 94 with a Badger top and R380 under 20k.

Or, buy CVC's D-90 that was burned. Buy back your dicso, and re-use the motor, hoses, wiring, ECU, etc... to rebuild it. That would make a nice truck! A 95 with a 4.0 and auto transmission.........

Dealers always price things with a margin for haggling... that's an unusually clean one for a 94- but no back seat. no mention of miles and engine condition etc though. If it has a newer engine or other significant upgrades, it might be a good way to go at a negotiated (lower) price. The guy who bought my 94 financed it 100% at $30K, so there are some banks who will do it.

oohhhh thaaats niiiiiice....

robbie · 11-10-2006, 10:59 AM

looking at a pic of the shifter, does look to have the upgraded R380. i believe LT77 is up and to the left. R380 is down and to the right. definitely seems a little steep for what you are getting. buddy picked up a 40k mile, clean as a whistle 94 about 2 years ago for $24k. of course this one is at a dealer. will they certify it with the 1 year/12k mile warranty?

pavel · 11-10-2006, 11:34 AM

Ouch! For $25,000 (even for $15-20,000) you need a comprehensive inspection by an outside shop. Also, and most importantly, you need a 1 year mechanical/electrical warranty. If the dealer won't give you the warranty, let someone else buy it.
