Discovery 1 vs Discovery 2

My $.01...
I'm not sure of your situation, but before I bought any Disco I'd make sure that I had a good running primary car first.
Once that's taken care of, I'd start looking for a hobby ride.
If you're counting on a new to you Discovery being your primary means of transport until you get the bugs ironed out, you could risk a disappointing experience.

I can see where you're coming from... but, aside from fuel (they are wicked thirsty) i haven't really been paying that much more to keep my Disco running right as I imagine I would for any other 13 year-old car I use extensively and and paid less than $5,000 for.

In almost 3 yrs I have spent less than $2000 in unexpected repairs.

Hope johnny 5 didnt hear that Ed. Go for the DII.Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions!I looked at and researched both before I purchased both and the DII was my choice.Just do your research and ask ?'s on the forum and you'll do ok. Good luck either way.

I'm very mechanical and would be doing my own work. I've built my own engines from the ground up, done engine swaps and conversions and have about $20K worth of tools since I used to be a full time mechanic. Plus the shop I currently work at can get rover parts from one of our suppliers. I found a '99 1/2 disco II with only 82K miles I'm going to look at tomorrow, dark grey with jump seats, just wish it had a brush guard.
