I am lookin for an SUV for my newly expanded family of 4 now. A requirement we do have is that we need 4wd as wego camping and skiing several times a year. I looked into land cruisers but useds ones with about 100K miles are going for about $16K.

Is it me or are Discoverys have a low resale value? I found several for $5000 with about 100K miles. Anything I need to look for?

 

Try and get any old service records, check for head gasket/coolant leaks and plan on do a full fluid change after you have purchased. These are great family vehicles, do very well on and off roads especially in the snow.
At $5000 you would be looking for a D1 which is the first Disco produced, try and find a 97 thru 99 if possible.

 

here is one I am considering:

Pretty old truck for a family vehicle, this would be a great truck for someone who wants to build a trail rig. As I mentioned befor try and stay with a 97 or newer if you don't want to get into problems.
