I looked at a 1997 Range Rover 4.6 HSE (with 87K miles) yesterday. The interior looks alright. The current owner has replaced the sunroof and done a 90K mile service (which was done at a local garage). This 90K mile service has left the "Service Engine" light lit. I am hoping that is what it is.
The most nagging problem that I felt when I test drove the vehicle was that it made a few clunking noises everytime I tried to stop the vehicle. The brake pads seem to be worn out. The underside looked alright (for a Land Rover anyway).
The insides were very clean. The radio did not have a working LCD panel, so you could not know which station was playing.
In all your collective expertise, should I buy this for use as a daily driver or should I walk away from it? He is asking for 11K for it.
All advice gladly accepted.
Sanu.
