Hello everyone, I'm looking to change from a LR Freelander 2 to an LC 80.
Not that I'm not happy with the LR but there is just no boot space now Junior has arrived ;-)
So I have decided on an LC 80 Amazon and would like advice on one that I have seen advertised locally at a dealer. I had a very quick look at it on the forecourt and it seems quite clean.
What I know so far is that it is Blue on an R plate, manual, cream leather, 1 owner from new, full service history with 180,000 ish on the clock. Truck seems standard and pretty clean inside as well. Cam belt has been changed around the 160k mark apparently.
It was up for £6999 but now I see that it has been dropped to £6000.
What do you guys think on the price?
From looking on here I know to make sure the diff locks work, check for oil on the knuckles, water around the passenger foot well, rust around the rear window, dropping gears down into second,but is there anything else apart from checking for other leaks and that all electrics etc work that I should be looking for? I don't mind having to replace stuff but initially I'll only have about £800 to spend on getting stuff sorted so don't want to be left with a big bill straight off the bat. I don't think there would be the chance have a look in the diff for grease but am I right in thinking that if there is oil on the knuckle then there is the possibility of grease in the diff?
Any help from you guys would be appreciated
Cheers
Richie
