New to LR Discovery- thinking about buying 99 LR Disco II

Does anyone have any advise about a 99 disco II with 123K on it. 
If I purchase what can I reasonable expect to have to do to the vehicle.  It appears to be in good condition and is at our local LR dealer.
 
thanks for your help.

I bought a 99 disco ii in April with about the same miles.
 
So far I have replaced the following
 
Brakes, o2 sensors, mass air flow sensor, water pump. Service the trans and oil and cleaned the throtle body.
 
It is a great truck although you will find yourself spending a little more money maintaining it.
 
All in all, I am happy with my purchase.

there good cars, if you plan on keeping it for a long time, you will have to put money into it. there very fun cars to drive, and always put a smile on your face during your commute or vaction. make sure the person that owned it before took care of it, these cars are toyotas. in my perspective its the same reliabilty of a dodge product. depending on price, thats a good buy.

Mark, I have a 99 D2, had it going on 6 years. As a retired service manager and member of 3 or 4 Rover clubs, I cann tell you just about everything you need to know.
PM me your tele number and a good time for me to call you and lets talk.

Just in case you are not aware, you MUST use premium gas. But you WILL love your trk.

But not as much as spike loves his Disco 1

Just as a rough number; how much did those services cost?
 
I know that this car will be more expensive to maintain than my infiniti; I just want to know what I''m in for. :)
 
Thanks for your time.

It depends on what you can do yourself. The FIRST thing that you need to do is have the front driveshaft rebuild. Do a search on this forum for "doomed" and you will see what I mean.

I dont actually think they are expensive to maintain, theres a LOT of specialist parts places that are cheaper than the dealers, well over here anyway........

I agree with UP, they are not that expensive to maintain.
www.altanticbritish.com to give you a idea of parts pricing.

But i def LOOOOVE !!! mine

The RAVE CD is a must have for any Disco owner IMHO. Doing your own repairs saves a ton of money.

Urban Panzer IS loving his three way. Two Disco''s at once man, how do you do it? Just taking care of one wears me out.
