Lauren Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I scored this Range Rover Classic today. These things are going up in value like crazy at the moment. A local one just sold for 43k. This thing is CLEAN. No rust at all. Motor started right up and it drives nice. It needs brakes but this isn't an issue and it needs a serious cleaning. Best of all. A one owner with 100k miles. I took my middle girl who is totally a car person like me and she loved it. I've wanted another rover and now I have one. Frame is solid and set up tow so I needed a off road vehicle so I can get a boat this year. I'm so stoked about this. My car collection is finally where I want it to be.

DKilbourne Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I sure hope those are highly capable as they aren't the best aesthetically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Always liked those. They are easy to upgrade and plenty of suspension parts for them. They are beasts off road with a few tweaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I hope models in that condition are not selling for 43k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I hope models in that condition are not selling for 43k One had 52K miles and one had 34K miles that sold for over $40K 1994 and 1995 model years. That is what Bringatrailer shows. Edit: The higher mileage one was a Tom Walkinshaw Racing edition as well....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I have a problem yes, you bought a 30 year old British luxury car. Kidding aside, nice score. I love these old range rovers, I'm still holding out for finding a reasonable 2 door in stick (yes they made them, and no they didn't import them here).

Lauren Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Correct the 43k one was rare but clean rust free ones bring good money. My target price is 9-15k when I sell. I bought it for $750 Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Did I just see this on a trailer heading south on 71? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 $750?? What’s wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 $750?? What’s wrong with it? The guy had no idea what he had number one. It fires right up and drives. It need a new abs pump and it needs an alternator belt. After that I'll do full fluids flush and refill. Other then that its solid. My plan for this is basic. Remove safari grill Rewrwp headliner in suede. Install ome 2" lift springs New abs pump and alternator belt Install modern speakers and Bluetooth head unit Flush fluids. Full interior detail Install new exterior driver door handle. List it on being a trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 And U-Haul got their trailer cleaned. Wins for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 It's really not a problem if you get a not-too-rusty Range Rover for less than $1000 that runs and drives. I used to lust after Old Man Emu springs back when I had my Suzuki Samurai. Looking forward to the build pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List it on being a trailer I wonder if the people looking to pay decent money for these things want a 2" lift and bumping stereo? If the eventual plan is to sell it for stupid money - keep it all stock and make sure it all works, and make sure you get all the documentation, put it in a binder, and keep records of what you replace as well.

Lauren Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Perhaps thus changes your mind. This thing has no rust. The floor pans are like new but original Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
