Yes Juggy, you should know that its fast car that will get you heavy radar bills not fines, as its going to be regular story every month. So you got to sober down yourself very much with that beast under your command. Its my dream car, when i get that kind of money.

Patrol is king of sand desert, defender is king of rocks and wadi's. Period.

They both can do both terrain and Patrol does that better (in both) as compared to defender, which sucks big time in sand.

Do the general visual check of all componenets are working - doors, windows, music, locks, AC, heat, seats, steering, braking, no dents, no repaints etc. Then check for leaks all around under the car, and inside the engine bay. Look for discoloring under-hood after overheating or having coolant/water splashes stains in under-hood in case has been overheated in the past. Ask for overheating reason and how and where he fixed the car?

Then Drive car on hi speed (above 100 kmph) and switch off AC and music and try to hear any rattling noise inside the car cabin. Try listening for whistling wind noise. If you hear sharp whistling then remember that door and pillar from where it sound. Stop by and inspect that door and check the beeding, that will tell you if car is accidental and beeding replacement might not be done properly.

Look for knobs colors and alphabets paint and brake and race pedal that can tell how much car has been driven. Faded paint on button and bald pedal means hi mileage atleast above 150k - 200k and if odometer reads under 100k dont believe if its not supported with full service history.
