Which Land Rover Defender 110 would you buy?
Recently a client from Texas called to say he was looking to buy one of two mid-1990s advertised for sale in Miami, and he wanted pre-purchase inspections (PPI) on both so that he could decide if and which one to purchase. They were both being offered at about the same price.
One was a Coniston Green 1995 with 137k miles, A/C, Safari intake snorkel, painted steel wheels and green cloth interior. The other was a white 1997 with 132k miles, front grille and lights guard, alloy wheels and gray vinyl interior. The condition of both was about the same throughout – average. The values came in within $1,400 of each other.
Put yourself in the shoes of the buyer. Which one would you buy, and why?

What’s the Difference Between Federal and California Emissions Standards?
California emissions standards are much stricter than those implemented by the EPA. The EPA is a federal government agency that oversees environmental protection matters. In 1970, congress passed the Clean Air Act (CAA). The law gives the EPA the authority to set nationwide vehicle emissions standards. But under one section of the act, California was granted the ability to seek a waiver from federal standards, thereby allowing the state to set its own stricter regulations.
