Hey everyone,
I just bought a 2001 Land Rover Discovery SD for 27000 with 10000 miles on it. Being in college, I don't drive it much and would expect to have about 60000 miles on it in 4 years. How much do you think I could get then? Thanks.

I would say pending on where you are located; I would say 10k to 14k pending on condition.
I have a 96 SE I bought in 98 for 27k I would safely say I could get 12K |

This is what the dealer quoted my friend last year. He went with the Montero since he can get a much better deal (after the roll over report)
2001 Disco2 SE with dealer installed brush guard. 39mo lease residual value ~$18000 (15000mi/yr)
probably give you a good estimate

charlie,
what roll over report are you talking about? |

IMO the 2001 is worth about $3000 less if it's not CDL capable. |

Brian, didn't they have this consumer report on Montero saying it is very likely to roll last year? After that, it was much easier to make a good deal with the dealer. At least for my friend's case |

Funny think with the NHSTA and CR roll over reports. They don't seem to really care how surviable the roll over is. |

It may not 1 to 1 , but there is a correlation between fatal injury and your car/truck roll.
A car with the strongest body will protect you and keep you inside the car. but the fact that you are bounced and shaked around inside the car during a roll (even with seat belt on) may likely to injure you.
But I would still rather being rolled in my disco than most of other SUVs |

True... my point is that I would much rather know that the roof won't colapse on me than being given a rating on how likely it is for a vehicle to roll based on height and width with little or no thought given to the vehicles actuall CG. Anyone with tallent can roll or flip a vehicle. |
