If you feel you got a good deal, then you did. If you feel you overpaid, then you may have. There is always someone that paid less then you, so don't let it bother you. There is alot to be said about being happy with your rig.

 

Mine had 110K on it, no body damage, minor rust in the typical rear door arches and floor pans. I bought it 4 years ago at a small lot and paid 6 grand for it. No major problems but worked my way thru fuel system, new shocks and springs, and totally new brakes.

I do see quite a few in that 1000 to 2500 range these days. Much more than that for a Disco I is being generous unless it is immaculately maintained.

 

I agree with this for the most part. Either immaculately maintained, or some significant upgrades. I got one of mine for the lift kit and spare parts.

For less than 150k miles, with good paint and interior, and no major flaws that would keep it from passing inspection/emissions, I think you'd have a good argument for at least $2k.

I paid 3 digits for mine, and it had a new alternator and fuel pump to go with that lift kit and mud tires that still had decent tread on them. And a solid catback exhaust.

But I have to install new cats, new o2s, and a new windshield before I can even attempt to get it registered.

Oh, and for those with power steering problems, get a magnafine filter on that thing. It's saved a few pumps for me over the years. Put one on the tranny, too.

You can get them on Rockauto.com for $15 bucks or so before shipping.

I just flushed my fluid out, it was turning gray and whining. I'm sure I still have trash in it somewhere, as the whining is reduced, but still there.

 

thanks for the link, didnt think theyd be that much lol

 

it had a good beat, and I can dance to it, so I paid $1700 for mine.

 

This is my first Land Rover, but I intend to buy more of them in the near future. I want to stay with the Discovery I and keep them all as close to one another as possible for interchanability and ease of maintaining more than one vehicle.

 

Just got to convince the wife to get another one now....

 

Except I Didn't pay NEARLY 120$ for them.
