Discovery sports

Son’s GF was looking seriously for one for a few months but an 3 litre X5 M Sport came up with low mileage and a far better reputation - had been a trade in at a LR main dealer and been through their workshops - not used for towing but quite a nice toy and bought outright with her “bonus”.

That's what my wife ended up buying. Looked much better value for money if you can describe a car like that as value for money.

Been 100% reliable up till now had it 2.5 years. Got MOT tomorrow.
Low mileage in my world means less than 70,000 miles in 9 years 😉
Under £17.5k.

Agree with above 👆 Traded my disco sport for a new Disco D300 amazing car & better on fuel despite 300hp & straight 6
If you’re vat registered & go for the commercial the price is very similar but you do have to add back seats
I’m not sure about the crank issues
Zetor do you drive a Fendt or a Zetor because you prefer to spend your money on a new Disco?:unsure::LOL:
 
Was going to say just buy a Volvo and be done with it.

That or something from Toyota or Lexus.

German or British 4x4 is gonna break your heart one day.

Comfort of a Volvo alone is why I like them so much. Interior is just what you want, all logically laid out and the seats just get better and better with each iteration.

Are they standing by the deal of £5,500 to change? If they do, I’d be tempted to wait for the Defender.

They can’t say at the moment 🙄 I’m half tempted to sell my disco now whilst price is good and just buy a runaround whilst waiting,have use of OH’s car as well so not the end of the world
