2000 Land Rover Disco II

I am considering buying a 2000 Land Rover Discovery II. This will be my first car ever!!!!!!! I fell in love with the Disco after my first test drive! Does anyone have anythings I should look for in a Disco???

welcome to the forum. There are alot of things to look at with the rover. The biggest is the records for the vehicle. Maintianence and repair. If they are not there, it is better to stay away. find one that has had all the work done. A poorly maintained rover is a nightmare. Have the vehicle inspected for any problems, that are not apparent yet, or ones that will soon become apparent. If you work on yours then get the shop manual for your vehicle. It will save alot. If you do not. Remember that parts and repairs for rovers are expensive. That said, I have a 96 disco with 130k on it and keep it right. I have spent about 5k on it in repairs and maintainence. that includes tires and brakes. I do most of the work my selft and save alot by doing it. If properly cared for the rover can last and last and last. Mine has been the most trouble free vehicle I have owned and all mine are kept right. check in the faq. section and see what some of the problems and what others have offered for advise on the purchasing of a vehicle. hope it helps. gotta love a rover. duboff

My rover was the first car I went out and bought on my on. Boy did I screw up! I got very few records on mine ( a few oil changes) and have been working on it ever since. I was prepared for this somewhat, I had heard these trucks are expensive to care for, yeah they are. but I cant bring my self to sell it! I love my Rover, like duboff said look for service records...

This car doesn't have the service records but I am told that all work was performed at Land Rover Frisco and Land Rover Dallas. Can I call and get the records?? I have the VIN and everything???? Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!

You should do okay getting the records if it really WAS worked on in those locations. Land Rover service departments are usually pretty meticulous. . .

if you can get the records, and you should be able to with the vin. okay. I still have questions about someone that dose not keep their records. If it has not been done, keep looking. hope it helps, gotta love a rover. duboff

Well I was told by the dealer that the owners were an older couple and that they threw everything out. So i hope that I can get the records. It also doesn't have a book with it. Anyone know where i can get one??
