Hello, apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate place for this. I searched and found nothing...
I am looking to buy an '04 Disco II SE7 and found one in the color combo that I (my wife) want in Philly. I called on it and it is unfortunately at a used car dealership and the guy doesn't know much about it other than to tell me there are no lights on the dash, the engine isn't making any noises, "sounds great," and he says it drives great. The carfax was only somewhat helpful. I have never owned a Disco (only a '72 SIII and a '94 D90) but have been reading about them for a few months in preparation to buy. This has just over 100k. He couldn't tell me about the head gaskets or the front drive shaft. I have a buddy in the area (who knows nothing about Land Rovers) who I could ask to take it to a shop for a pre purchase inspection so I don't have to drive down from Maine only to turn around and go home (already made a few trips in vein). Does anyone have any recomendations? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
