'97 Discovery SE in Virginia *updated*

**** price reduction below****

though i hate to do it, i have to sell the Disco. it's not what i need for a DD right now. onto the details:

1997 Discovery SE
95,100 miles
Mobile 1 every 3,000 miles since i bought it w/ 39K on the clock
Automatic
Black w/ tan leather interior
Dual sunroofs
BFG AT/KOs w/ about 30% tread left
only been off road once since i've had it (unfortunately)

only a few small mods:
Old Man Emu steering stabilizer
Sony Xplode CD player (can be upgraded for XM. i also have the factory head unit if you want it)
K&N filter
Thule roof rack with 2 bike rails (can be removed if you don't want it)

problems:
leaks a little oil, but not enough to create more than a drip or so on the driveway.
dent in the rear passenger door from a parking lot
currently will not engage into 4 wheel low. i have been told it's due to a bad solenoid that locks out the shifter unless you're in neutral. last i checked the part was $230 or so and can be replaced in the driveway.

other than that, the interior is in great shape and the truck runs great. wish i could keep it, but it's more than i need and all it's serving now is as a daily driver. Edmund's and NADA list average retail at around $9,100. **** price reduction $8000 OBO****. pictures on request. i have no interior pictures and my digi-cam is broken, so it may take a day to get a few. e-mail me at jeepfreak28@hotmail.com Truck is located in Centreville, VA which roughly 20 miles west of Washington D.C. thanks for looking.

BTT^

also wanted to add the price has been dropped to $7000 OBO. i would've just edited the original add, but for some reason i can't see the "edit" icon anymore to be able to do so.

Obligatory questions-

e-mails have been sent. since they went through D-web, i'm not sure if they were successful. let me know here or use the address in the first post to e-mail me.

*update* 4-lo will engage, the shifter was just a little stiff. still no CDL though due to the bad solenoid which after reading up on the boards here should only cost about $150 from the dealer and $105 elsewhere, but i haven't personally researched that.
