Please help. I have found this site to be my most useful and my most visited site on the web. You all are truly great people. I have a 96 D1 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !!!! (#1 God #2 Dog #3 Disco #4 Fiance)
I am looking at 2 Discos...
#1 95 w/97K Brushguard, leather, dual sr, etc. etc., $6000.00. (I may be able to get it for $5500.00)
#2 95 w/55K nothing extra really, but enough to make me want it really bad! Mint condition. $12600.00
Are these prices reasonable? How can 2 95's have such a price variance? Would anyone spend 5.5K on something with 97000 miles on it? 95's reputation?
Thanks. Keep doing what you all are doing because you are doing it great!

Try going to www.kbb.com They have a car value thing. $6000 sounds a little low for a 95. It might have some mechanical problems or it might have been a "stolen and recovered" vehicle. The second one sounds like a great deal. Good luck.

In the US the earlier Discos, 94 & 95, are starting to fall off in price w/ higher mileage. $6k is a bit low for one in good shape... with higher mileage I still would have expected $8k or so... They're wanting to unload it, either because of problems or because they just don't want it.

The second one sounds reasonable... still a bit high, but it has less miles than my '99.

The big deciding factor, though, should always be the vehicle's history.... see if it had a rough history, or if it has been 'trouble-free' (for a Rover!). I'd take a high-mileage trouble-free Rover over a low-mileage one that's had to have everything done to it twice!

Good luck!
