Only other option I might do is offer this guy a 1,000. dollars and do not go above 1,500.00. There are so many Disco out there that people have stuck fortunes in due to they needed someone to do the repairs, I just picked up another Disco 2 with 115,000 miles on that this guy had over 8,000 in repairs in for 2,500.00.
Finally, someone else that has not drank the coolaid...

Be nice and run it through the full service carwash and fill the gas tank before you take it back.
This guy sounds like a very reputable dealer and he is going to take a hit on the added miles.

It's a smart move andy...I made the same mistake you did and before i could turn it back to the dealer, I blew the engine. Before that blew, I replace the torque converter, all motor mounts and did some exhaust work in the first 2 weeks i owned it. You will do better in the long run. There are allot of these trucks out there. Keep looking at post when you find something and well help you out with it. We hate seeing people making the mistakes most of us have already made. If you want one bad enough, you'll get one...Then you can take a seat on the short bus with us...

AMEN!
I say either A: take it back and tell the dealer to fix it and they pay for it..
B: Wait for one with less problems (you will be waiting a long time)
C: Go get an audi and drive the hell out of it!
