I bought it for $6300. Only rust on it is the bolted on accessories. Underneath looks great. Two prior owners: original owner split time between here (Colorado) and her home in TX. Prior owner works at the local LR dealership, bought in 2017 when original owner traded in for something new.

She said she once saw the three amigos but they then went away and never returned. The horn doesn't work. Ultragauge shows stable temps between 190-204 consistently during test drive, the drive home and while idling. No error codes.

Rear sunroof not sliding... previous owner said it was disabled when the roof rack was installed. TBH it looks like there is plenty of clearance -- same amount as front sunroof which works. Is this just a story covering for a broken sunroof?

So far I'm really pleased.

Congrats! I hope it runs great for years for you.

The rear sunroof thing sounds like baloney, maybe it’s possible, but the racks are made to allow them to open I believe. My old arb allowed it.

Nice find, fair price. Congrats. If the sunroof is closed and it doesn’t leak, NEVER open it again. Enjoy!

Something else would be wrong with it. I have the exact same rack and both my sunroofs open.

Totally agree. The rear sunroof gives you that cool look once a year when you have it open on a nice day and people see you have a moonroof, but is otherwise not worth the risk of leaks.

You probably have the lowest mileage Disco II in several--if not ALL-- States. Congrats!
