My new Disco...

[Bump]

Just bought this today - not got it yet though, get it in a week.

Disco 3 (08 plate) commercial (proper one, not a converted car)

Not my first choice of colour but, it's not terrible

not a converted car?why has it got 4 doors then?

 

[Bump]

I hate ya

you'll hate me more when i tell you my VAT registered business actually bought it... so can claim the VAT back and then i get loads of tax relief as it is a commercial + can claim back VAT on services / repairs

cus they all do. Difference is it is classed as a commercial vehicle on the V5 and gets a reduced road tax rate. Also makes it easier to be classed as a commercial vehicle for the business.

dunno - you get more load space in a D3 commercial than a 110 and i do actually use it for moving lots of boxes around for my business, so, a 110 wasn't an option.

So the the dead D1 turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

True... but i have a series with a winch on the front... the D3 is more for business tbh

i know... sorry! had it less than a year and we've had dash out and back in, engine out and new one in, wheels on and off countless times for laning trips, and various other little bits.

Lets hope the D3 doesn't need ANY of that in the near future :amen:

[disco147]

i know loads of hairdressers that can afford a D3

Nice motor... if you don't like the colour you could always look at having it vinyl wrapped?

They do look smart with a few off-roady bits on them too
