mscowley Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi I'm looking at a M reg Discovery its got 140,000 on the clock with full service history, its got scorpion springs and shocks with a 2" lift, goodyear mud terrain tyres bigger than normal so the Dis is lifted 5"all together, the boot floor is fine and the sills are ok interior is ok,colour is black with blacked out windows, different ali wheels which look nice. So my question is is it worth £1600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sounds quite cheap to me but I have no idea what price they are in the UK now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojmz Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 if it's as good as you say it is, I would say its a flipping bargain and needs to be jumped on! discoverys in very good condition are few and far between. I spent ages finding mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscowley Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 How much life is roughly left in the engine do you think I've heard it started up and there's no rattle it really reminded me of a v6 or a v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Is it Auto or Manual? What Trim Level? I passed on a 300tdi M reg a few weeks back - totally standard top of the range ES model, solid boot floor and sills but there was a little rust on the arches when you opened the rear doors and a little rust under the boot door just before the boot floor. They wanted £1200 and it had 130k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 mine was £1200 with 89k on it. interior was a bit shabby though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I paid 1600 for my M reg 300tdi. Its a bog standard GS model. It had a small amount of rust ontop of the rear arches where the doors open but thats was the only slightly worrying thing i coud find. It had done just under 80k when i bought it. With all the mods the disco your looking at has....... id say it was a bargain. Just give it a really good check over before making any commitment to buy.

mscowley Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 the only rust is on one of the door arches other than that it runs and sound a treat. Me and my dad give it a good look over today, the floor is solid the boot is solid and the sills are solid the body needs a good polish but thats nothing there's no bubbling paint work like I've got on my 200 so i brought it.

Hi, mine is a 95 300 es, the b---dy thing ended up needing rear floor, sills, both inner and outer both sides and rear body xmember. Like an Idiot I paid £2000 for it with a years test,(me thinks he new some hooky garage) so at that price by it.Best of luck and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
