Doh! Sorry, forgot to say (due to my huge sense of loss!) we are in West Yorkshire.

nice spec but I honestly doubt you'll get that much for it - disco Is are gogin very cheap now which is great if you're looking to buy but not so good otherwise.

You have the advantages of spec and FSH and so on, which should help it. They're not going that high on ebay, though, even fully loaded ones.

Even with AutoTrader showing any number of comparable examples at £4-5K?

It sounds like a lovely car, and well worth £7500. But market forces means it is, IMHO, highly unlikely to get near to that.

You guys really know how to haggle.... whos going to come in with the first offer?

as it would mine, but I was going by what they're fetching on eBay - the OP mentioned he was likely to try it there.

It's got all the plus points, I grant you - and might be 6K on a dealer's forecourt...

There are a lot of D1s on the market, and the early D2s are getting down in to that territory now.

Mind, I'd prefer a late D1 to an early D2, meself :-)

such is the state that we've decided against changing the 300 TDi for something smaller and cheaper to run. 's a 95, bit over 100K miles and very sound, but we'd be lucky to get 3K for it I reckon.

I reckon I got a result selling my V8 (and the gas conversion no doubt helped) for 1500.

hehe.

I was considering it the other day. But it's too high for me, and in any case, I worked out that I still need more seats than a disco has, even with the change in routine which has just happened.

Now if someone wants to donate a 101 to a good cause...

Just sold a N reg XS in red 300tdi.

With only 39,000 miles it had always been kept in a heated garage and had not a spot of rust on it. Absolutely perfect.

I had three customers interested it went for 7.5k.

Discoverys will begin to sell more on condition than mileage and condition. Just the same as Defenders do. The main trouble with the discos is the level of corrosion present in relatively recent vehicles.

Just think of all those new type Discovery's costing mid thirties now and likely to be around seven k at seven years old :-(

Huw

I'll have it for Ten bob and a pickled egg :O)
