Just been to look at a G reg Landrover 90 TD 2500. Mileage 109,000.
Not mechanically minded, and have no idea on prices of second hand landrovers.
Knocked about a bit , to be expected, but feels smooth driving.
Going back to have a second look with someone with Landrover experience hopefully if they're available.
Asking price is £3995, but I get the feeling he would come down. Any thoughts on whether this price is high/low/about right?

If the chassis and bulkhead are solid, and nothing funny happens with the engine/gearbox when driving (all gears, hi and low). then about right I'd say.

wot they all said, and check the engine over carefully for crankcase pressure etc when hot - the TD if not very well-maintained can die, at far less than 109K miles. Unless there's evidence that it's been rebuilt or replaced recently, of course.

Unless you really, really want or need the extreme capabilities or "image" of a 90, why not consider a Discovery or Range Rover? Virtually as capable off-road, and infinitely more pleasant on-road. £4000 should get you an L or M reg diesel of either model - they'll have had 5 years less to go rusty, and there's perhaps more chance of finding one that's not been abused.
This is for a work vehicle. I will be carrying timber on the roof and tools e.g. chainsaw, hedge trimmer and brush cutter in the back.
Bought it tonight for 3350. Had a series 1 enthusiast with me who gave it the go over.
Need two new tyres, any tips appreciated.
