good luck with sale - what a beauty
Hey, Cam! Not a cash issue, just a kicking around the idea.
Cirrus, do post it on ebay. I'd hate to see you not get your money out of that great truck. Good luck, man.

Sent you a PM, Cirrus.
I know I know, I am going to get killed but that's timing in the car market. I dont want to drag it across the country again. I am interested in trades also. A well set up off roader. Thinking I may sell my FJ too if I can find the right truck to trade for the LR. I may put it on ebay.

not that bad
Stephanie,
don't sell yourself short. Once the major issues are taken care of, and it sounds like this one has, they are good reliable classic cars. There are many parts suppliers and the simplicity of them makes them fairly user serviceable.
For a classic car, they can be perfectly reliable. I have been bashing the series 2a that is borrowing my driveway around Utah for 2 years now. It has been daily driven 50 miles eachway to work. it has done at least 5 extended (4 day or more) off-road trips, it has been all over moab 3 times. Really, the only major repairs were some frame welding (can't blame the truck for getting dropped in a hole) and a new ignition unit (victim of the welding) also not its fault. Aside from that it has had a few oil changes and the valves checked a couple of times as well as all the fluids. This can be done by the average owner, with a little patience.
Seriously you should do this.
bump for a pretty truck.

ps I did not drop it in the hole. just saying

I would love to do something like this, but I don't think that I've earned the financial right to even begin to think about whether I can afford this. Cirrus, see if you can prove me wrong. What are the parts like, money-wise? What is maintenance expected to be like over the long run?

Stepahanie,
Series land rover parts are generally quite reasonable and very available.
Sure, a rebuild on a transmission is going to set you back $1500-2000, but you can find a used one for $200. There are clubs all across the country and series owners are usually very helpful and willing to part with spares on the cheap.
Brakes are very reasonably priced as are the electical compenents and pretty much everything else. This one appears to have had the expensive stuff (frame, body, paint, interior, swivel balls) mostly done. They are also incredibly easy to work on and dead simple to repair.
On the other hand, you better be able to fix one on the side of the trail as they are somewhat maintaince intensive.

Ron, can you loan me $9,000? We could agree on some sort of a payment schedule. Sounds like you are daring me...
Cirrus, I'd seriously consider getting it if I had the money.
