I'm thinking about purchasing a 2002 Land Rover Discovery SE7. The one I'm interested in is going for $8974 with 80,337 miles on it.
I'm not much of an off-roader; this'll be used as my main mode of transportation around town (I drive about an average of 25 miles a week, if that.) This car has basically been my dream car since I was like 10; I just love the look of a Land Rover and the secure feeling of driving an SUV.
My questions are: is this a decent price for this year? And what kind of maintenance and cost can I expect to keep the vehicle in good working order? (My husband is planning on taking care of any maintenance it needs.) Also, for what I need it for, is it a good idea to get this kind of car? I've been researching Discoveries and there are so many different opinions on them. Seems like people either love them or hate them. I don't mind having to do regular and timely maintenance on the car, because I do want to keep it in good running shape, but should I be expecting to be fixing or replacing something every month? Or even every week?
I guess reading all those conflicting opinions and experiences have made me a little nervous about the reliability of the Discovery, so any honest feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
