I just ended up keeping my 2003 D2 HSE but also bought a full size 2006 Range Rover SC.

 

What I may end up doing

 

The only reason to avoid the 03 D2 at this point is because an 04 is very similarly priced but has CDL.

 

I fin the 04s quite a bit more

 

Of all of the Landies that i've owned... I had the most issues with my 2004 Discovery.... engine replacement at 18,000, radiator replacement at 1300 miles, I had so many issues that the land rover dealer bought it back under the lemon law..... I have not had any of those issues with my 2000 Discovery II, or my 2010 Range rover.... I think that with any car, there are good ones and bad ones... its just a crap shoot..... I do think that the 2003 model year gets a bad rap....
