Hi Guys
First post apart from the hello one so be gentle ;-)
I have a few questions if can help me look for a LR.
So looking for either D4 or RRS (post 2010) seen a few and wanted to check if being to fussy for a 10 to 12 year old LR near the 10 to 12 grand price range (in this mad climate) that does not have NASA mileage.
Last RRS I looked at the side steps would have fell off it you had stared to hard at them due to rust.
1. I know I should expect a bit of rust as not new but should I just accept that there are mentions of rust in MOT advisory's or there will be bits that are rusty and will need to get fixed as soon as drive it away as that is just how it is.
2. Timing belt and possible gearbox services are on on top of normal service history.
3. That the underside should be as dry as possible, nothing underneath should be dripping or totally caked in the black stuff and look like a coast line after a tanker crash.
4. when I use scan software I do expect some codes to come up, just not to start counting them and get a number higher than the pension age. Expect a few especially after battery issues but not on ECM for stuff like turbos and the like.
5. Body work to have the odd ding or scrape as it is out in the world of supermarket car park. I would not expect panel gaps that could loss my change down or actual large rust bubbling on the panels.
6. Inside that most if not all switches and electrical gizmebobs work and have not been used with some one that looks like they had sand paper for finger prints and wore off the switches or dials.
7. That air suspension would go rise quicker if I used a foot pump and treat things like ACE pipe replacement as when not if and factor price accordingly.
Sorry it is a long post but want to know if I am just being fussy and will never get what I want. As I say not expecting perfect and will have issue at that price point but am I expecting to much.
Cheers guys.
