about the low milage cars that a grandma owned and never drove. Well,
I stumbled into one.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The vehicle is
a 2017 Land Rover Discovery with only 7000 miles on it (that's right,
7K!)</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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!)</span>

<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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. </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">My question are...</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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?</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Can I just remove
and lightly sand all surfaces (pads and rotors?)</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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?</span>
