disco v defender price ?

One thing iv been puzzled about for ages is why is a defender of the same year as discovery so much more to buy ? any body care to explain ?

Icons are always more expensive. supply and demand syndrome. Corrosion not so much an issue,?

defenders are tools usually which adds desireability

.....defenders are different in many ways and most suited to work.there light so tow power is high.and have a low centre of gravity.

discos are for roads and horses and caravans etc...

cos discos are rubbish and fenders aint:behindsofa:

some people pay more to be uncomfy and have the **** shaken out of them.. i love my 110. discos are to quiet and comfy.

i love the disco, but i would slap anyone that wanted to swap my 110 for one.
the fender is better in every way, being uncomfortable is driving a landy, if you dont want that then get a honda

well iv got me 90 and me disco so im well happy


then again i have to make my mind up to which one i tax at the end of the month and which one i will park up :frusty:

back to the question - the reason why deependers are dearer than the same age disco is simple as the man says suply and demand - there are (many) more disco's sold every year than defenders, yet the enthusiast market ( ermm, I guess thats us) will soak up every one of the defenders and still have space left over.
that said I do enjoy driving my disco without bashing my elbow on the door or getting a cold shower on a winter morning that I used to get from my last "proper" landy.

I don't get why some people find the Defender uncomfortable, i don't think i've driven a more relaxed comfy motor, even when it's ****ing down with rain and i got the window up ( yeah i'm a wimp i know )

The leg room is fine, and the seats are just damn right comfortable, in fact the wife has a bad back at times and keeps coming for a spin in the Landy as it eases her pain.

Disco's are oki, i like the Smokey bacon flavour, Cheese n onion are good but the Salt n Vinegar are cheek twistingly dreadful.
