L322 TDV8 purchase help
Hi all, I’m considering buying a 2007 tdv8 vogue with approx 80,000 kms.
The price is within my budget and it appears to be a good deal, but I’m concerned with the following facts:
It’s been sitting in storage for 2 years, the suspension understandably has sagged and the battery is completely dead. I am trying to get the seller to buy a new battery so we at least hook it up to see if it will start up.
My concern is, is it safe to drive it to a mechanics shop with all the fluids sitting still for 2 years?
What are the main things I should look out for when going to see it in person?
Assuming the engine is good, what’s the ballpark number for a new air suspension set?
Lastly, as I have no experience with diesel cars, what are the big ticket items that break down on it?
I will try to bring my own mechanic with me to see it up close.
I am fully aware of the money pit i am potentially getting into but I feel it’s part of the RR experience 🤷🏻♂️🫠
