Come on, clean retail is $5025 NADA. Of course no dealer goes off NADA, or at least none around here that will admit to it.
High retail is 6200, and from your description its no where near that.
A high retail vehicle should be in flawless condition. All power equipment should be functional. The paint should match and have a high gloss finish. The carpet and seat upholstery should be clean and have minimal wear. The engine should start quickly and run smoothly. The tires should be like new with a spare and jack. The mileage should be significantly below the acceptable mileage range for the model year.
A high retail vehicle on a dealer lot should be fully reconditioned and is likely to include a warranty, guarantee or manufacturer certification and current safety and/or emission inspection (where applicable).
Maybe they go for that much down in South Carolina.

Not trying to bash, just wanting to give you a heads up that in an 'informed' crowd of Rover enthusiasts, top dollar will not be had. You might be able to pull $6000 on someone who wants a "range rover" but that's about it. Otherwise, be prepared to have the for sale signs up for a while.
Yeah...maybe thats a little high. If you had like 80K on it than that would be different, bit 144K, thats pretty high. My observation is that people on disco web will pay less than the general public. However, i dont know of many people who are prepared to pay blue book prices.
KBB is ridiculously high, as is your price. Try Edmunds Real Market Value.
I could probably find one with less than 100k for that price.

OK guys, then shop some where else!!!! Either make an offer, or go and do something else. Thanks

this is an ENTHUSIAST website. You most certainly can't be expecting to sell a over priced rover on a site like this.
your just asking for people to make fun/ laugh at you. You might as well put a clown suit on ( flame proof one at that)

Accept the constructive criticism and adjust your price accordingly. Alternatively, SELL somewhere else.
OK Tom, you are being politely offered some valuable advice, and ignoring it. You need to do a little work with the search button above to understand you are very close to running from the building with your hair afire. Metaphoricly speaking of course. You dont wander into an 'enthusiasts' garage and make an overpriced offer, and then tell them to 'go somewhere else' if they dont like it. Poor manners, and lousy salesmanship. Instead you should maybe consider and learn from whats being said, and also where it comes from. Good luck

What motivates people to read a "vehicle for sale" ad if they are not interested in buying a vehicle? It is my vehicle, I can sell it for what I want. It's value is not for the reader to judge, but a potential buyer. Would you walk into a dealership and tell them their vehicles are overpriced? You guys must be bored, surfing vehicles for sale, critizing, with no intention, or need, to buy. GET A LIFE1
Wow what a dick. You can offer it for sale for whatever you want, you will sell it for what the market will bear. It's call capitalism, champ.
Oh, and half of us are constantly in the market for another Rover, so I wouldn't assume we are all just here to bash with no lives. We all love Rovers, and love learning about them.
I tried to be polite but obviously it was taken too seriously by yourself.

are you serious? people walk into dealers and tell them their cars are overpriced all day.. every day..
and no, you cant sell it for you want, you can sell it for what someone will pay you.. buyers set pricing, not sellers.. at least not for discos which have no rare intrinsic value.

Dear Mr Dickahanus,
Your right, i am interested in buying another Disco. Thats why i looked at your add.
I made the comment to you just like i made a comment to a dude around here who was asking too much for his Disco, only this way everyone can see it.
Either way, you advertised in a public venue that allows for comments such as these. Dont get all bitchy if someone states that your asking price is too high. Would you get this way if we were face to face?
If so i suggest you get a new job, because you suck as a salesman.

By the way, it works the other way too. I've seen people post their vehicles for sale, and a bunch of us jump onboard and say "That's a great price for a great truck". Those vehicles usually sell right away.
The point is, we are here to help nudge the sale either way. Either use us for good, or go somewhere else. And remember, Dweb never forgets.

Oh wow this is a D1, I thought this was a DII for some reason.
I got my 1998 LSE edition for $6250 with 85k miles on it, no dings or scratches, no drooping headliner, and the only thing wrong with it was that that cruise control didn't work. It also had a brush guard, running boards, and over $1000 worth of new tirees. So for $50 more I got a car with 60k less miles on it. Though it is 1 year older, it is a higher end model with more perks.
You're Rover looks like it is in great shape and well taken care of, but honestly, no one is going to pay $6200 for that. For that price you could be getting a lower milage DII or a 1998 Range Rover with a similar amount of miles. You could try putting it out there at that price, but I guarantee you will not sell the car at the price, unless you find some complete idiot. I say this in the most non arrogant way but do you even know the name of your car "Land Rover 1"????? People here are enthusiasts, they know the going rates of used Discoveries.
When you appraise the car make sure the program knows that your discovery is a D1 and not a DII, because that makes a big difference in the appraised value. Also, KBB is worthless and if you really want to know what people will pay for your car, look at edmunds or just go to eBay motors and find out.
I'm not trying to be a dick like some of the other people here. But facts are facts, $6200 is way too much for that car. You can debate it if you want, but the customers here know what they're worth, and any educated car buyer looks are more than one car to get an idea of what the price should be, not just KBB.
Good Luck
