Having been in the 'Land Rover zone' in the UK for afew years, i can give you some advice.



Is it a v8 or desiel? your looking at around 18mpg for v8 and 27mpg for desiel, maybe a little more if its an automatic (more likely, automatics were more common). Oh sorry thats uk gallon, which is 1.2 us gallon.



Being an SE, it will have afew air bags, traction control and ABS. The latter two very important for a vehicle this size. Very hard to stop these things, but you'll be safe if there is a bump. Might be abit more rocky for the 2 rear seats though. They do have a good safety rating, and the anti roll bars will help on a side on collisions, as are the side protection bars in the doors and body work.,



Reliability, It should have all its dealer stamps for any major modifications. If its manual transmission check for wear in the gear box, rattling in neutral, popping out of gears, if its automatic, no worries, the ZF boxes are bomb proof so long as its oil is changed regulally. Check if the gearbox will change to low range too, might be abit stiff if not used alot but its a handy feature if you get stuck or are towing something. If its a desiel, the injector harness can get oil in it, bit of a pain but easy fix. The petrol engines were pretty good, again regular oil changes to keep them top running. If it has air suspension at the back, check it rises and lowers smoothly, and that it doesnt keep the compressor on all the time. Also if it leans to one side at the back, that means a bags gone, or a valve is leaking.



Generally, as long as there serviced regulally, they are good cars. Strong sturdy and will last a very long time with some punishment.



I suggest you type in "Land rover forum" on a search engine, join one in your country and ask there for any more info, they'll be more than happy to help :)
