Hey all! I just registered and am excited to be a part of the forum. The main reason for registering is to gather some information on what to look for and overall advice on purchasing an early 2000's Disco or Rover with over 100,000 miles. My wife and I owned a 1995 Disco many years ago and absolutely loved it. Since selling it she has always spoken about getting another one but absolutely loves the Rover but of course, budget is a big factor which is why we are considering older higher mileage beasts. My wife turns 40 on Monday and I would love to sneak one in the driveway for her. Of course I would have to sell the Mini but that's another forum. lol

Thanks and glad to be a part of the community!

 

another LI guy, we are taking over!

my advice, get another Disco 1. There was a 96 w/ 88k on it for $2900 in ronkonkoma last week on craigslist but i thinks its gone.

 

welcome. There are a few of us from LI here.

 

What are the advantages/disadvantages for DI v DII? My wife likes the DII bc the door handles don't great her nails. Ugghhh

According to Wikipedia there are 720 differences..
Land Rover Discovery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DII is longer (rear body)= more storage
DI and a 04' DII has a CDL stock, you can add it to a DII
DII has more bells and whistles
DI has less electronics
Different fuel injection (GEMS vs Bosch).

 

I think we will focus on the DII. My wife likes the more updated look and is definitely a bells and whistles kinda gal! The search is on!

 

... still looking.....
