hello there,

when i became the owner of my disco 2, i did a straight swap for my bora so i have no definite idea of what its worth.
I came about needing my disco to tow my boat as i wakeboard as a hobby. I couldnt get rid of my bora and the only offer i had was a straight swap on this discovery. Nearing the start of the season and having no tow vehicle, it was ideal.

Heres a quick spec:

Discovery 2 TD5 ES manual in Blue on a Y plate
126k, 6 months tax and 6 months mot

Centre Diff lock linkage from disco 1
2" longer terrafirma dampers
2" lift bearmach springs
2" longer stainless braided brake lines
Full polybush kit
Centre exhaust box removed
EGR delete
Heavy duty steering arms
255/65/16 bf goodrich mud terrains on black modulars, all done less than 2k
Extreme 4x4 HD Steel winch bumper
Front steering guard

chassis waxoiled and has no rot

body is in good condition and has nothing more than a few green laning scratches

i have very little experience with land rovers, all the modifications were carried out by the previous owner, this is my first land rover and so far has been good to me.

i would appreciate any advice you may have

thanks
joel

I think that this right here ^ is probably a clue.

Why don't you do some research to see what similar vehicles go for? That way, you'll know how much to ask for. :confused:
 
The reason I asked was due to there being only standard ones on eBay and there isn't many up for sale on here

Doesn't really give me a great idea.

The cars on a y plate and has 6 months tax and mot
 
to the majority that dont offroad all the goodies mean its been abused in a mud hole ...probably worth less than a standard ex factory spec one'

imho you can stick it on fleabay and hope a couple of the mud pluggers with more money than sense wants it

in short to most people its not a very desirable vehicle....been abused off road....or got to much electrickery to be reliable in mud and water.

probably not what you want to hear but thats my take on it.

Cheers for your advice. It's sort of the same with any modified vehicle I know. I'm not too sure where to stick it up for sale really because of the market in limited to :/

Are you hoping to drag this thread out with silly question to 50post then stick it in the for sale section? Theres nothing limited about a disco. Have you looked at gumtree,ebay or local free ads?

Simple answer, no. If I wanted to raise my post count I would do so by not spamming. I understand how a forum works. I simply asked for advice

The only question I needed to ask was what it's worth. But if people gave decent solid answers, I wouldn't have to post again. Granted it may seem a silly question. But on eBay and autotrader there isn't really anything modified so I can't base a price on comparison to a factory model. I haven't tried gumtree no, but i will have a look now
