Is 15k too much for a 2003 Disco II?

Put it this way, in 2003 I bought my D2 ES7 TD5 new for £24.500 (about $31,500 at today's rate), admittedly this was a knock down price from a reputable large LR dealership. If you are considering paying $15K for a 14 year old D2 you either have far too much money or you need to see a shrink soon. $15K is far too much for an old D2 even with 60K miles on it. It's value is more likely to be $6-7K max.

Where in VA? I live in VA and if it's nearby I would be willing to go give it a look for you.

That said, 14.5k is still insane.

I appreciate all the help everyone. I have no idea why it is so hard to find a decent one at a decent price...

Blunt, honest, and accurate. You are my new best friend.


In all honesty, I probably have too much money and would benefit from seeing a shrink.

Sorry to sound so blunt but I really hate to see anyone pay over the odds for anything.

I've been taking lessons from the 'Mooch' (Anthony Scaramucci) on tact and diplomacy

I genuinely appreciate it.


Can someone find me a good one? I'm ready to pay a finders fee for something properly repaired and maintained, around 100k miles in grey or green.

Hi

I'm afraid I am the wrong side of the 'pond' to help you but one of these guys on the forum will undoubtedly identify a worthwhile truck for you. Good luck and enjoy your D2 experience.

Talk to the guy. Find out why the asking price is so high. Look up the value on Kelly blue book or nada and share that info. You might find a nice middle ground for a win-win.

I am certainly going to try.


I'm willing to overpay...just not THAT much I guess.
