Hearing that people are scared to drive their Rovers on a daily basis is asinine.

Mine is my daily driver and I wouldn't have it any other way. I agree with Mike on maybe trying to find a DII.

It sounds like price is a big issue. If this is so, owning a high mileage Disco may not be for you.

 

At this time it will be very hard to find a good Disco I.
Most people that one are not selling and the ones that are
are most likely in need of some major work.

The newest Disco I is now 9 years old and the oldest Disco II
is now 9 years old.

Disco II's go for $4k to $16k the newest Disco II is now
four years old and coming off lease.

I have seen the LR3's selling for $22k to $24k that started
a $45k and up.

Be honest with yourself and what you need not what you
want and that will tell you what to get.

 

Keep in mind you can find a very good DII for just a bit more and you will be getting a newer truck. I have a 2000 DII and I have kept everything up to date and its doing great so far.

 

thanks for all of the input guys, you have all given me alot more to digest before making a decision, however my gut is telling me to go with the D1. I'll let you know what comes of it.

 

Take your time and find a good one,, and you will be happy.
I can get by with out the goodies on the Disco II's its
just less to go wrong and easier to work on for me.

I will always have my Disco I's but I can see a LR3 or RR
afew years from now 2011 and we get Diesels.
