Should I get a Land Rover or not?

I'm thinking of buying a 1995 Land Rover Discovery with a 5 speed manual transmission and has 118,000 miles. Now I know that Land Rovers aren't the most reliabile car in the World but should I get it or not?|||Land Rovers are an aquired taste.





If you like them then you love them.....but you are quite correct...not the most reliable vehicle in the world.





We have a 1971 series 3 and to be honest it's a motoring nightmare.


No power steering, no syncromesh on the first two gears and overdrive instead of a high gear that you have double clutch to select.


As for the wandering steering...we won't even go there.





But we love it...so I would say YES...buy a Landy!





As for parts in the US...you'll have no problem at all getting them.


There's a thriving Landy fan base in the US so parts are available.|||They are usually abused along with Jeep.|||Sounds like "no" to me. Why would you choose to buy a car that already has 118,000 miles on it that, by your own description, is unreliable?|||Unless you're doing frequent field work or travel in the jungle or across impassable mountainous terrain -- skip it. SUV's are an unnecessary waste of money and fuel.|||if you live in the states i would avoid it like the plague if you live somewhere parts are readily available then go for it.
