Hello LandyZone,
Thanks for having me! I'm a Brit, living in Seattle but about to move back to London. I've never owned a Land Rover but am planning to get a Discovery 2 when I'm back. Always wanted one during 11 years I spent in Southern Africa but never quite managed it for various reasons. Not knowing much about Land Rovers AT ALL I'd love to get advice from the group on (1) what the best purchase route is likely to be (ebay, autotrader, private sellers, specialist 2nd hand dealers, etc) and (2) when I get round to going to test drive some, what are the important things to look out for and check to make sure I get a good vehicle (I've downloaded the buyers guide but the experience of users on this group will probably add a lot). I've read a lot about chassis rot being a particular problem on old discos.
Cheers
