So a Land Rover Discovery??? I thought Ford and Land Rover parted ways?

There are 1,489 of y’all that should be banned from this site. Banned, I say! If you didn’t vote NP on this, you’re just too young. Or something. Now, get off my lawn!

Oh. Oh my.

This isn’t going to be a nightmare to work on or tank in value and never return like an Audi.

American tires alone produce two tons of microplastics every year.

It seems kind of silly to invest all that R&D in tires, what with flying cars being just 2 years away and all.

It’s a conspiracy by Big Tire...or that’s what the aliens told me.

You can find a Targa of this vintage with way fewer miles for not a whole lot more money, but at this age condition counts for more than mileage if you plan to use it. This looks like it was well maintained to get to where it is. The short list of minor current issues is a bit disconcerting to its recent upkeep, but

Keep in mind that the car that replaced this was the ‘86 Ford Taurus, which was stunningly modern at the time and really was a no bullshit, world class car.  The Big 3 have had a lot of ups and downs, but it’s not fair to call this evidence of them giving up. 

I used to live next to a field like that. My dad was chasing cellists out of it on a weekly basis. Nothing worse than trying to have a nice conversation with your family and hear an AMC pull into the field. You just knew that it was a matter of minutes before all you could hear was screeching cellos.

If this fucktard isn’t going to sell the engine parts without buying the car why even mention it in the ad? Makes no sense. Sounds like the conversation about trying to even buy this car would be nails on a chalkboard with the ‘I know what I have’ seller.

100% agree.

Seems like a reasonable price for a drop top to cruise around in. It’s not an enthusiast’s model, but some people just want an easy car to enjoy in the sun. You could even daily it in SoCal.

“this does feel like a throw away car. Drive it until it breaks, part out what is valuable, move on.”

What’s the cost of a preventative IMS bearing replacement?

Because it’s tiresome. The doomsayers gravely intone that it is a deathtrap, as if merely owning the vehicle somehow guarantees that Fate will come flying around some corner and flatten you.

Did you NP’rs not see the rust coming through the bondo under that canary yellow respray? This fishbowl is hiding a lot more of that I promise you, glorious Kenosha pot metal frisky with tinworm. Phuct not phat. 

Can it be ridden while wearing a short skirt and a long jacket?

I’m concerned about weatherproofing. What if someone left a Cake out in the rain?

Pie > cake
