So a fellow forum member and I were discussing over the phone about how much I have invested in my D2 so far. Thought it would be very interesting to see how much $$$$ everyone invested in their Disco. Include the purchase price of your Disco, a ballpark estimate and the type of work/parts purchased.
This is a fun thread so lets keep it that way. Oh and do not include any off-road modifications of off-road gear. Just standard maintenance related investments.

I paid $4,995.00 for my 2004 D2 with 130k. So far Ive replaced the front propshaft, rebuilt the rear propshaft, replaced brake master cylinder, replaced both front calipers, replaced all brake pads and rotors, replaced a bunch of nuts bolts and washers - so far Im at about $6000.

 

Wow, we nearly have the same cars. I paid 5k for my 2004 with 130k miles. Put in a new front prop shaft, brake master cylinder, water pump, thermostat, miscelaneous sealants, and every fluid changed. Got about $5700 in it. Over 7k with mods.

 

I'm at well over $40K... but then again, I did buy it new in 2003 The rest of the stuff is probably $4-6K (most of which is a replacement transfer case). Oh - and gas... lots and lots of gas!
