Default How much did you pay for your Disco?

Title says it all. How much did you pay? In your response, post up the miles and general condition. I figured this could be a resource for all those who come here asking if the Disco they are looking at is priced right or not.

You can choose more than one option as many have more than one Disco.

I paid $1000. It was in great shape inside. Had an intermittent high idle issue. Front and rear bumper needed reattached due to teenager spinning on black ice and hitting guardrail. Less than 85k miles on odometer. Details in signature.

I paid 4k for my white truck in NYC. Had 99K miles and was nearly mint condition inside and out. No rust, no cracking of the seats and everything worked great. Had a 2" OME HD kit and BFG A/t's.

I also bought a 1995 D1 with rust out floors for $500 has like 165k but runs great

400. 130k. Paint is not so hot. Shot tires. Had a bad fuel pump in it and was sitting for about 2 years. Full fluid change and general service and she was up and running.

What did you do about the rusted out floors? Any pics?

I ask because I gutted the interior of mine to reveal big holes of rust in the footwells of the front seats. Gonna take it in today for a "weld sheet metal over them" estimate, but am open to all possible solutions.

Got it for free. 188,000 miles on it. Cost me $1000 to ship home but that I just charged to my freight account at work so it was free to me too.
Fuel sender was bad
steering box was bad
window regulator on two windows bad.
Paint baked in the desert so I am going to repaint it this summer.
AC is non existent.
ABS light on but I need to check speed sensors at wheels and see if they just need to be pushed down.
Rearview mirror is toast
Subwoofer getting refoamed

Leaks like a normal British vehicle should.

Runs well. Fun project car.
No rust at all. Bolts are still dichromate yellow under the whole thing. Amazing. Just like my 928, it looks like no humidity is the way to keep a vehicle.
