Searching for my 2004 Discovery
In 2013 I traded my Discovery II to a dealer in Chicago for a new Subaru Outback. Whenever we see one on the road my wife has never failed to tell me how this was her favorite car and wishes we never sold it. I have tried searching for the car by inputting vin into google search etc... and know it was sold in Michigan but after that nothing. I would love to put the car back in my driveway. If anyone knows of a way to track down a car your help would be appreciated. SALTR19494A835635.

searching for my disco II
Wow thanks for the quick responses- I will respond in reverse order-
Red 5- I do not work for 2040 or any car company (I am general contractor) Your correct that site came up first but you can't actually contact them no phone , you send them email they never respond. I am not saying the site is not legit but wouldn't a reputable dealer have a phone number- they don't.
Over rover- yes thats the one.
Rusty and Army- carfax doesnt give you a name or address- and i understand why in todays society of stalkers etc...
Why that one- I suppose in some way I am trying to recapture a little bit of when my kids where young. It was a great car that we took many family road trips in including an epic 5K trip to badlands, wyoming, utah etc.. and got it full of red dirt in moab- but-it was just so freakin expensive to keep on the road-I know home construction- not car repairs and my disco went to a great local mechanic in Forest Park, Il and even he said would love me to keep the car because it was paying his mortgage but every month it was something - suspension, coils, horn going off on its own. But all that being said my wife loved the car and it would be cool to get it back- dump some cash into making it her local daily driver (keeping subaru for long hauls). Like a lot of things we miss what we once had.
I know finding its a long shot but you never know-
Would I consider another one- maybe but finding a 2004 hse7 black/black in pristine condition doesn't seem likely.
Thanks for all the input.

I do not work for 2040 or any other car company. I am a general contractor in Illinois. The 2040 site does come up and I tried to follow up with them but dont think its a legit site- no number you can call, only email contact etc.. and the photos are old.
Answering some of the other remarks- car fax only tells the state and general location so no way to track who has it. I understand why in the age of stalkers etc...
why this car- for the for the 6 years we owned it (2nd owners) it was driven by my wife and never off road, abused in any way and was serviced by a land rover mechanic so up until I traded it I know its history- which doesn't get any better then this one. I am not a mechanic so whatever it needed- and it needed a lot, it went to the mechanic.
Also this car has a lot of good family road trip memories- we took some long 5K family trips out west- montana, utah etc... and the car was great other then getting about 11 mph when driving at 70 mph.
As far as finding another I dont think I can find a Java/black 7 seater HSE trim - at least none have come up in searches over the past few months.
For me it will never be an off road vehicle and I know that bothers some people- why buy it etc... My wife loves the way it looks and drives so thats reason enough for me.
