Sadly it has come time to sell my 2004 LR Disco II. I have owned it since 2007 and it's been a fantastic vehicle for the duration of my ownership.
I need some help pricing the vehicle and would appreciate any input. The vehicle has a salvaged title from when the vehicle slid into a guard-rail in 2006. Other than viewing the title it would be very difficult to tell that it's ever been in an accident. After looking at numerous online sale ads for this vehicle I have realised that the prices on these things vary wildly with most being in marginal condition after years of use. Mine is in absolutely fantastic condition, other than a slightly worn headliner (has been re secured but could use a replacement down the road) the interior is in near new shape. The exterior is also an 8/10 with little wear other than fading wheel arch liners, various scratches/normal wear etc..
Details:
NEVER overheated
S trim (w/ 16" wheels)
100,XXX miles
180 thermostat
Clear coat in good shape. No peeling or flaking
Dealer maintained ( I was a service advisor w/ LR for 8 years) - Fat stack of service records, flushes, head-gasket replacement(s) etc.
New 36" general grabbers
New drivers seat base cover
Dealer installed LR rain guards & door protection trim
Runs excellent, no ticking noises or lower end noise.
No oil leaks
Some of the older disco techs at my previous LR dealer seemed to think that the salvaged title would mean little to someone who would like to have one in good shape and mechanical condition.
I was thinking of listing it around $10,500/11K and see what happens. I am located in San Diego and have not found any 2004's to compare to in the area. I am moving to Baja Mexico and cannot afford to daily this anymore (she deserves better) & need a civic or other Econo box.
I understand pricing can be market specific but any input would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!

My wife glanced over and said "what's that". I said "somebody looking for pricing advice." She says "Ooh, I can do it, let me do it". So she says she would pay $14k, because it has low miles and good paint.
Full Extinct restoration at that mileage with an HSE truck is $17-19k. But you have an S, some people say they prefer the S because of no possibility of sunroof leaks but I would discount it at least $3000 from that number.
You don't have the full restoration, no list of all the parts done, needs headliner, So I would discount another $5k minimum. That puts you around $10k best case scenario.
I think you're in the right ball park...and wouldn't take a penny less. 10/11K in Cal is like 6/7K here in Michigan...and l'd pay that for a clean framed, low mileage, well kept Dll any day of the week...especially without sunroofs and the best looking 16 rims. The only thing that may hurt sale is fuel prices at the moment, but don't fret to much...the right person is out there (secondary vehicle, overland build or grocery getter).

I'd be all over this if it weren't for the title, and I'm relatively close to you. Price would have to be lower for me to consider it and I would probably expect a lot of other buyers would feel the same. Gas prices aren't helping either. Good Luck.
Honestly I would buy it with a salvage title. We have been looking in close to your area (Anaheim). and I would say that you are looking under 10k. There are a ton of Land Rovers on fb marketplace right now.
