Default Sold the Rover

Somewhat of a bitter sweet feeling
Sold my 02 disco with just over 120k for $6k
Think I sold it fairy well
Just wanted to thank all here on the forum
You guys have been just the best when ever I had any issues or questions
The reason I sold it was obviously all the work the came with owning a rig like that
Always did all the work my self loved it but it did get a bit to much
Leaving towards an Fj cruiser now actually pretty set on only Fj cruiser
Any input o those
And again thank you all very much

Assuming it was a straight example with all the usual suspects sorted, I think that's a fair price based on my recent purchase.

On the FJ, something of note I find interesting: you will be going from a wide open and panoramic view from the driver's seat perspective to that of very poor visibility. I'm not bashing the FJ (I even shopped them a while back), but that is a glaring difference that might get you. Undeniably, the FJ will require less effort to own, but I doubt it will be better off road.

Despite only recently succumbing to my desire for a Disco, I think if I get fed up with the amount of work I'd either look to replace it with an L322 or LR4 (or LR3 if budget was an issue). I'd probably look at a loaded '12 and up Grand Cherokee as well, but between my wife's RRS SC and the Disco, I'm starting to like this Rover bit more.

FJs are just as good off road, if not better than a disco. I own both and my FJ edges it because it is a manual. The visibility does suck though
