...about Range Rovers-mechanically or economically.
I frequently see mid-eighties thru early nineties on ebay going for cheap. I do not claim to be intelligent, but I do understand supply and demand. There must not be a demand for these? Assuming this is true, is it because they cost too much to rebuild/repair?
I have thought many times about buying a Rangie and only repairing/restoring the bare necessities to use it as a "wheeler". In other words, if the air goes out, or the power seats, or windows go out, nevermind 'em, only fix the non-luxury items that may arise.
How practical is this? If one could pick one up for a grand, typically, what would be wrong with it? If I had another grand to throw at it, would it be enough? Would it end up being a toy, or the impetus for headaches?
Thanks for your time and input,
Gary
