52 plate Vogue 4.4. 1 owner, FLRSH, 58k miles. Any good?

[gallmoney]

Hi i seen a vogue with 1 owner and 58k miles, full Land ROver history from new. VERY GOOD condition all round and inside.

its a 52 Plate so its early model....would you guys think this should be well looked after-ed and on paper sounding like a decent buy ? Cost is under £9k

my concerns are obviously facing massive bills of suspension, diffs, gearbox etc....

any thoughts would be good on this as if so, i need to buy it ASAP.

Thanks

Although the car may be getting more affordable because it's getting old, the parts and labour on it won't.
Sorry to sound slightly clever, but these aren't cheap cars to maintain.

are you going to be doing low miles ? mileage a bit high . it will lose value quickly unless you are doing low miles.

really??

58k on a 13 year old car...looks low to me

i will be doing low mileage...under 5k a year. its the wifes run about during pregnancy and maternity leave.

in your guys ecperiances, would it seem to be a good purchase overall, and at this mileage, it is GENERALLY trouble free? Esp with only 1 owner.

Not sure what work been carried out on it over the years but am finding out.

Thanks

I'd seriously consider buying the car if I were in your shoes.

These cars are not cheap to maintain but I doubt if it will be much more than a £20k RR.

probably the strongest engine & gearbox combination ever fitted to the L322,keep an eye on the coolant system, replace any tired looking hoses etc and keep it filled with the correct fluid and you'll be fine.

Price does seem a little high even with the low mileage so see if you can haggle!

Because you're doing low mileage you may find that you get through brake discs regularly and the calipers will seize, particularly the back. I don't use mine as much these days and I find the discs corrode quicker than they wear out, tried various brands with no real difference.
