Hey everyone -

I'm searching for an '03/'04 Disco II, blue with tan interior. Been searching for awhile (I know this colorway is not common). I have looked at a couple over the past year and each vehicle had red flags. Let me know if anyone knows of a clean one for sale!

Thank you,
Pete

 

It might help if you let us know where in the world you are located.

 

Ha good call - I'm in the northeast U.S.

 

I'm searching for an '03/'04 Disco II, blue with tan interior. I'm located in the northeast U.S. and would prefer one available on the east coast. Looking for under 100K miles, very clean well-maintained.

Thanks

 

Hi Pete

Firstly, don't mention the colour or you'll seriously restrict your possible replies. There are dozens of 03/04 D2's out there and many with low mileage on them. The colour isn't too important but the general condition is. If you are short of D2 knowledge take someone with you who knows D2's well and ensure all the correct lights illuminate with the key at position 2 and ensure you run code checks before and after a test drive then clear the codes and run another test drive and then recheck the codes. Only some women buy vehicles based solely on colour Good luck.

 

I believe there were two shades of blue in those years... The Oslo blue and the dark blue.

 

I think Oslo Blue was the dark blue.

There was another blue called Monte Carlo blue. It seems to be quite rare here in California as I have never seen one in person before. I have seen a few Oslo blue ones though.


Limiting your search by color will make it quite tough to find a D2. Nice '03s and '04s are already hard enough to find. And if you do find the color you like, the mechanicals might be in bad shape. But if you're patient enough and willing to go around the country to find one, you probably will.

A few notes from personal experience: I had somebody fly all the way from Dallas, TX to come and buy my D2 in San Francisco because it was exactly what they were looking for; a stock, black on black, 04 D2 with the trail package.

When I was looking for a D1, I really wanted one in green or in white. But then a low mileage '99 in Rioja Red came along, and I bought it. I didn't like the color at first but it grew on me. And it was the right deal at the right time.



Good luck with the search.

Monte Carlo Blue

Oslo Blue

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes, I am looking for the Oslo blue. I certainly understand how much a color choice restricts my search, but this isn't a vehicle I need, it's a 'passion' vehicle that would be my toy, so I want the color that I want if I'm spending my hard-earned money on it. I know it may take longer to find, but when I finally do, it will be that much more satisfying to know I got a great truck and in the color I wanted. That being said, I'm not completely closed off to other colorways if I stumbled across a great one. I'd consider black or white if it was ideal in every other way. Thanks for looking out and let me know if you come across a great Oslo blue beauty!

 

Understood. I'll let you know if I see anything

 

There is/was an oslo blue d2 in NC on craigslist for the last several weeks. Looked in great shape, lots of new parts, but I think it had a heating issue.
Let me look and see if I can find it.
I'll post a link if I do.
