Disco 2 Price guide

[Bantam1]

Picked up one of those Land Rover magazines when waiting in Tesco for my wife to finish shopping.
After reading the price guide in the back I felt a little deflated, especially as my interpretation would seem to be that the 1993 110 I sold is worth 3k more now and the 1998 D2 I purchased is worth 1500 less.
The Disco is by far the better vehicle, its comfortable, the heater works and it drives lovely on and off road.
Maybe you just have to switch off to the price guides, I'm not planning on getting rid, I've done the head, suspension, steering box and after I've waxoyled the chassis inside and out I am hoping to keep the D2 for at least a decade or more.
1993 110 5-8k (paid 2k, spent loads and sold 4.5k)
1998 D2 1.5-3k (paid 3k, spent loads and love it)

I don't even look I have no plans on selling my trattor. I plan on spending far more on it than it will ever be worth!!
It's a play thing that I enjoy and I expect you feel the same

I don't pay any attention to the price guides, I know it was bordering on the insane spending 5 grand on a 14 year old car compared to what I could have got.

Things is you're not comparing like for like in my view, yes it's a car but it's a really different, special kind of car which the price guides simply don't appreciate in my view.

What can you replace it with?

I don't know why they bother with price guides as they are not even vaguely helpful other than in allowing gullible owners to sell for less than they are worth. As soon as a car is of a certain vintage it is in effect unique as hundreds of variable come into play beginning with the original spec and then taking into account the condition, colour, fashion etc etc. The so called guides have a bit of catching up to do on Discoveries and they are obsessed with Defenders and Series LR's at the moment. It's a good time to look for one.
