You always hear stories about the low milage cars that a grandma owned and
never drove. Well, I stumbled into one.
Now, it's not a LBC, so don't get too excited. But I got it at a rock
bottom price and intent to clean and sell.
The vehicle is a 2017 Land Rover Discovery with only 7000 miles on it
(that's right, 7K!)
I think I can almost triple my money (I paid full asking price, and I have
to get it out of the driveway, which was no small feat!)
I was worried about the typical mouse damage, but I found the car through
a local cat rescue that has trapped, fixed, and adopted out over 30 cats
from the property and there are still more there. So I don't think a
mouse ever got CLOSE to this car.
It was outside, so the exterior needs a deep cleaning, but the inside is
SHOWROOM! So far, a cursory cleaning and it is almost brand new looking
all the way around.
Of course the cats got under the hood and ripped up the firewall
insulation and made a mess, but no problems with wires or anything.
My question are...
1- of course the rotor and brakes are pretty surface rusted. I got the
car driving and the brakes work, but is it worth it to replace the pads
(that are nearly brand new) and rotors? Or can I do something different?
Can I just remove and lightly sand all surfaces (pads and rotors?)
2-Of course I'm going through this with a fine comb, but is there anything
else I should look out for? I'm doing filters and fluids. I already
installed the new battery.
3- Is there a way to 'temporary' insure and registrar a vehicle to just
move it to a car wash and gas station? Something like dealer plates, but
for a limit, one time use?
Finally, anyone in the market for a cherry 2017 Discovery (White) 8>)
