Nigerians love to put 2003's on Craigslist in their scams for cheap.[/QUOTE
I figured that was a scam, lol I always see 03 r.R's on Craigslist in my area and always for $2,960. What the heck is that about? Lol, I got the nerve to email them once and never heard anything back. They must have sold all of them, lol...damn

Me too
I am about to let my 99 Disco go. I am tired of having to deal with it constantly. I wish an LR3 or 4 was affordable. would go that route. But Way too expensive for a decent lower mileage model.
I am going to sell my DII instead of fixing the leaks again.
Not sure what to drive nothing will take the place of my Rover.It was fun while it lasted the 12 years

I'm sorry to see many Rover owners go. But I can see why.
That said, I love my Disco way too much to let it go. I'll keep driving it for an awful long time.
I would only let it go for one other vehicle. A green, dark red, or grey LR3 with the HD package and correct interior. For the right price.

I have thought many times myself to get rid of my D2 but realize it would be very hard to replace. I had recently had a LR3 2006 for a few days to drive, I liked it alot. More space than my current truck, smoother, more power. Maybe someday....Sometimes we just have to remember what we got the Land Rover for in the first place.

You are being punished...
Greek Mythology
"King Sisyphus was made to roll a huge boulder up a steep hill. Before he could reach the top, however, the massive stone would always roll back down, forcing him to begin again"
Sisyphus was son of King Aeolus of Thessaly and Enarete, and the founder and first king of Ephyra (supposedly the original name of Corinth). He was the father of Glaucus, Ornytion, Almus, and Thersander by the nymph Merope, the brother of Salmoneus, and the grandfather of Bellerophon through Glaucus.[2] King Sisyphus promoted navigation and commerce but was avaricious and deceitful. He also killed travellers and guests, a violation of Xenia which fell under Zeus' domain. He took pleasure in these killings because they allowed him to maintain his iron-fisted rule. Sisyphus and Salmoneus were known to hate each other as Sisyphus had consulted with the Oracle of Delphi on just how to kill Salmoneus without incurring any severe consequences for himself. From Homer onwards, Sisyphus was famed as the craftiest of men. He seduced Salmoneus's niece Tyro in one of his plots to kill Salmoneus, only for Tyro to slay the children she bore by him when she discovered that Sisyphus was planning on eventually using them to dethrone her father Salmoneus. King Sisyphus also betrayed one of Zeus' secrets by telling the river god Asopus of the whereabouts of his daughter Aegina (an Asopides who was taken away by Zeus) in return for causing a spring to flow on the Corinthian Acropolis.[citation needed]
Zeus then ordered Thanatos, god of death, to chain King Sisyphus down below in Tartarus. Sisyphus was curious as to why Hermes, whose job was to guide souls to the Underworld had not come. King Sisyphus slyly asked Thanatos to demonstrate how the chains worked. As Thanatos was granting his wish, Sisyphus then seized the advantage and trapped Thanatos instead. This caused an uproar since no human could die with Thanatos out of commission. Eventually Ares (who was annoyed that his battles had lost their fun because his opponents would not die) intervened. The exasperated Ares freed Thanatos and turned King Sisyphus over to Thanatos as well.[3]
In another version, Hades was sent to chain Sisyphus, and was chained himself. As long as he was tied up, nobody could die. Because of this, sacrifices could not be made to the Gods and those that were old and sick were suffering. The Gods finally threatened to make life so miserable for Sisyphus that he would wish he were dead. He then had no choice but to release Hades.[4]
Before King Sisyphus died however, he had told his wife to throw his naked body into the middle of the public square (purportedly as a test of his wife's love for him). This caused King Sisyphus to end up on the shores of the river Styx. Then, complaining to Persephone that this was a sign of his wife's disrespect for him, King Sisyphus persuaded her to allow him to return to the upper world and scold his wife for not burying his body and giving it a proper funeral (as a loving wife should). Once back in Corinth, the spirit of King Sisyphus thereby scolded his wife for not giving him a proper funeral. When King Sisyphus refused to return to the Underworld after that, he was forcibly dragged back there by Hermes.[citation needed]
In another version of the myth, Persephone was directly persuaded that he had been conducted to Tartarus by mistake and ordered him to be freed.[5]
As a punishment for his trickery, King Sisyphus was made to roll a huge boulder up a steep hill. Before he could reach the top, however, the massive stone would always roll back down, forcing him to begin again.[6] The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for King Sisyphus due to his hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus himself. Zeus accordingly displayed his own cleverness by enchanting the boulder into rolling away from King Sisyphus before he reached the top which ended up consigning Sisyphus to an eternity of useless efforts and unending frustration. Thus it came to pass that pointless or interminable activities are sometimes described as Sisyphean. King Sisyphus was a common subject for ancient writers and was depicted by the painter Polygnotus on the walls of the Lesche at Delphi.[7]

Not sure what to do
I have looked at every vehicle for sale I could find, Only ones I like are RR LR3 or 4. I'm ruined by my 99 DII - can't be replaced by anything. Don't know what to do.
DII is worn out.

I wish I could afford an LR3 or 4 but can't right now. Way too expensive for me. But I looked at Rubicons and they are almost as expensive.
