Disco 1 Prices

There seems to to be a lot of difference in the price of Di.s mine is a 95 300tdi es auto leather plastic wood dash ect, no rust on sills inner wings boot floor and chassis is good only rust was bottom of one B pillar and rear door wheel arch which has been repaired and has 168,000 on the clock. The thing is that for cars of similar condition vary so much from £800 to £2000 how do you value my car over the last 2 years its had a head gasket, P gasket, timing belt and tensioner kit auto box oil filter 4 new disc all calipers repair kit, pads track rod ends a few bushes, altenator, serviced twice a year. There's a few dents and bubbling of the paint in the aluminium area's but the cars 20 years old, I've seen N and P models with 185,000 200,000 wanting up to £2000.
My dilema is as mentioned in an earlier post I have a bad oil leak and think its the rear crank shaft seal and it will cost quite a lot to fix, if it is done I've decided to have the engine out as apposed to auto box. Now if my car is valued at £1200 to £1500 it may be worth doing but if its value is £600 to £700 I dont know. What to do.

Any disco with MOT is now fetching at least 8/900, unless it's an absolutely hanging, rotten munter or has a serious fault making it undrivable. So if yours is clean and tidy with plenty of receipts and not much tinworm it's definitley worth fixing.

There's no exact 'book rate' on the selling price of a disco only guides, your asking price should be based on the overall condition.

It's what you think its worth to you in cash and being the use u have for it as the owner, so if you still want to still own the vehicle get it repaired, if not sell it and see what prospective buyers will offer and if that meets your expectations well done lucky you.

I wouldn't get the price I think my disco is worth so that's why I keep it, even though I now do less than 1000miles a year in it.

them new parts are just maintenance items, adds little value
