Well after getting my mind set on buying the Range Rover over a long discussion and alot of pictures, I decided to take a ride out to Hershey PA where it was located. Well I'm rather happy I didn't have my buddy pull his trailer that night. Needless to say I was dissapointed and rather upset.
However I still ended up getting a 1998 Land Rover Discovery LSE. It's in pretty good shape. The exterior has no rust, one small dent smaller than the size of my fist, and the paint is in good shape with only minor brush scratches from dirt caught in a sponge or brush. The interior is tan leather in goodshape with out any stains in the carpet. Nice 8 way power heated seats. dual power sunroofs. Ice cold air, etc. All the things I'm not used to lol. Now don't get me wrong, the only reason this thing will ever see pavement is to get to the trail.
The coolest thing is the way I got it. Recently I bought a saturn due to my 45 mile drive to work then back home from work. I know tehy are dependable, cheap parts and get an average of 35 MPG. Well when I first dicovered the Land Rover ad on craigslist i thought it was out of my price range but still decided to check it out and sure enough the guy was tired of the expensive repairs and 15MPG average that the Rovers are known for. So I replied back to him telling him I had a 98 saturn to trade if he was interested .He seemed a little shakey about it at first but I was able to talk him into checking the car out in person yesterday. Pretty much what ended up happening was, I drove up to East Windsor in my Saturn and drove home in my Land Rover
Ohhhhh. one last thing. I paid $500 for the Satuirn and invested about $140 into it plus I bought another saturn last night for $500
Heres some pics
