Fuji Shooter Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think it depends whee you live. In Gloucestershire/Worcestershire they are like hens teeth, but if you can be ***** to druve into Brum they are plenty of them and they are normally a grand cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC45 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I just bought a Disco 1 300 tdi. Not a bad price for a mint one. Everything else had over 100k on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeymagic1969 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 It seems that the prices of all 4x4's have gone up due to the recent snow conditions - my shogun sports value has gone up by at least a grand in the last couple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I don't know if they have gone up but been looking for a few weeks now at the late shape (2.7td V6) 2004 onwards, and £15k doesn't get it all. My three requirements are, mileage up to 75k, leather interior and auto. For my budget I can have any two of my preferences in any combination, but getting all three is proving hard except an awful lime green one On say a 2005 car, up to what mileage should I not worry about/ I read on the forum a few times where people talk about the previous shape being good for 250k miles, but I'm not sure about the later shape! should I worry about getting 100k car?

PhilR Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Is it me or have (used) discovery prices gone up what with this snow and all...? I don't think you're far wrong. I've been toying for sometime with the idea of buying a Range Rover again, I had a Classic back in the early 90s. I looked at 2002 L322 TD6 models at around this time last year and they were starting at £12.5k, this year the price is about £13k. The P38 run out models of 2001 seem to be fixed at around the £7k mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcliff Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Aye - my bro bought a '99 Td5 last summer, 60K on the clock for £4K on the nose - I can't seem to touch that spec now for that price. Might wait until mid summer to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I paid just under 6k for my 2003 td5 last march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The Disco is a good vehicle for several purposes. I've heard them referred to as "the thinking mans Defender"! I'm not sure I'd go as far as that but they're good vehicles. I guess the snow has just reminded people how useful they can be. We all did our fair share of driving around all the stuck cars with a big grin on our faces and carrying on without too much bother and now a lot of those stuck car drives want one! I'm looking at Unimogs at the moment. It's going to set me back £10k for one that's older than me so the Disco's got nothing on them!

Harnser Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Look on brightwells auction site under 4x4 cars . 4x4 cars have gone up in price . The site will give you prices paid in previous auctions and the prices compared to caps black book one of the trade pricing books . Harnser .

jonnyoftheboy Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 depending on what year you are talking about, I think you'll also find that production has been cut since the beginning of the recession.... so less new turning into less used.... (only relevant for a 57 reg on....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Indeed, Discovery prices have risen by up to 25% in the last year, depending on age/model. I'm looking at selling my Td5 and I'm well pleased with this situation, whatever the reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcliff Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Damn snow - defo gunna wait until the summer to sell me car and grab a disco. Anyone fancy a 172 CUP...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 A guy I know,from Falkirk, just sold his tatty V plate Disco, on Ebay, for £3,300....to a chap from either Orkney/Shetland...that will cost the buyer a small fortune to get it home when he collects it.. The seller was VERY pleased with the price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Read this morning a report from Pendragon group that since January, Land Rover sales are up by 60%. This time last year I was in the market for a new 4X4. had a confirmed quote for a new Freelander HSE auto at £26.5K (list £35K). Eventually bought new X-trail for £18.5K Friend of mine has just bought a Freelander. The price they had to pay for exactly the same spec as I was looking for last year was £32.5K. The best quote they had for an X-trail of same spec as mine was £26K. What a difference a year makes! Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcliff Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 So, do you think they'll come down in the summer - or are there other factors influencing the price hike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 So, do you think they'll come down in the summer - or are there other factors influencing the price hike? I really don't know the answer to that, but I'm biding my time. I'm going to keep an eye out and probably wait till the summer to see if they do drop. Hasn't the D4 just come out as well? So hopefully the D3 will drop somewhat..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
