Hello, my first post here. I am considering a 2005 LR3. It is listed on auction. I realize the potential perils of auction purchase without viewing, but that aside. The owner/dealer indicates there is a 3 inch lift and the air suspension has been replaced with coil s. I have owned LR3 in the past, but only with air suspension.

How will the 3in lift affect the ride, stabilization, etc on and off road? I do mostly on road with some light off roading. Also is there anything I should expect or not expect from the coil replacements and the 3in lift. Thanks in advance for any help.
added - this is an Ebay auction with the dealer being out of Texas & I'm in Delaware. In looking at the dealer a bit more, most/a fair amount of his inventory appears to be Lifted and most have the same or similar roof rack with the same or similar aftermarket lights attached to the roof rack. It's almost as if he buys rovers/jeeps/tahoes etc, puts a roof rack & a few spotlights and ups the "cool" factor for a better sale.

There are only a few people in this community with real experience with coil-converted LR3s. I'd be wary of this one, not because of the coils, but because I wonder what sort of previous life it led. The LR3 is so nuanced, as you likely know, so I'd stay away from ones that are highly modified or found at places like auctions. Just my $0.02 and really it only comes from reading message boards. I've had one LR3, since new...so I've not bought a used one, just read others' stories.
