If it was my choice I would go with 2nd car the silver one,

1. Fantastic colour with dark windows

2. Cam belt done, right for another 10yrs

I would just make sure diff/transmission fluids etc have been changed.
If you do go for the silver one the boot cover is missing

agreed on the silver one but I doubt the fluids have changed.

however they both look decent motors, might be worth negotiating the cambelt etc into the blue one if you prefer that one.

both great spec too.

I favour the Silver one, although both have a good spec.

At that mileage it is worth negotiating a full (10year??) service and new MOT into the price. Also cannot see any form of warranty on site, or have I missed it.

The 10 year service is quite expensive, so you have to be sure that the previous owners have not sold cars on, instead of having the service. The same applies to faults on older cars, hence my concern about a warranty.

Otherwise, drive them both, for comparison, and then go for the best.

Hi I spoke to Freds Garage, a nice chap called Bill.

Both have had the 10 year major service
Both have had fluids changed
Both have had cambelt changed

Blue one has new MOT today
Silver had 8-9 months left on MOT

Im going to see them on Saturday!!! So excited...still not sure which one yet..Leaning towards the Silver one.

Jack frost:

Well spotted about the boot cover...I didn't even think about that...

Im so glad I have found this forum....Im going into a whole different world now...

Fingers crossed this works out!! I will be beyond over the moon.

thanks

Don't forget to press all the buttons, there are quite a few and they should all work.

The handbook should help you know what to expect.

Hi thanks for the links...

Ive been trying to check this garage out, but cannot find out much about them.

On their home page, they describe themselves as independent landrover specialists, should they be registered as such??

On Google Maps, the postcode for GL20 7BH just shows a nice house in the country!!

Mmmm... Thoughts anyone??

Bobupanddown...hahahaha I don't have a wife, Im a lady!!! lol

Ah my apologies!, I suppose the name is a bit of a giveaway.
That being the case you will already inherently know what is best

Fred's Cars does not seem to have left much of a footprint.
I am surprised that I cannot find any reviews or any display area/ showroom.
It appears to be based at Claydon House Farm (by the post code) and GOGGLE Street view does not show any cars apart from a FL1 (I think) driving into the drive.
Their Website does not say that they are a garage, and I can't find any business registered at that address.
Go and have a look, but I think that you should be treating purchase as you would a private seller.
As it is by appointment only, the cars may be stored somewhere else.
