Hi,
Just wondering if anyone wants to give feedback about the ad, photos or price?
I do want to find a new home for the D3, but don't plan on giving it away.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys! Very Happy

Scotland 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Tech Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

Sold a near identical vehicle to yours in back in August (same colour, spec, was a 56 plate, same mileage) Bought an advert on the forum in the morning, sold it to a chap who just came in to our yard to collect some material in the afternoon. In hindsight I was maybe a little to cheap.
Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for that. It's reassuring that I'm not miles out!

Good old EBay suggested a sale price of £3200 was reasonable!!! Rolling with laughter

I think I'm interested in this car.

At least it's the thing that made me stop reading and actually sign up for the forum.

For my part, sorry to say my wife steered me away based on the mileage - I'm now looking for something with less miles, sorry.

Good luck with your sale though, you car looks tidy!

Presumably as your wife appears to be an expert on Discoveries and mileages she has no doubt given you the extra money to add to your small budget. Looks like this car has had a lot of money spent on it and on some of the components that usually require attention at some time in a Disco 3s life. Mileage is not so important nowadays if it has been looked after properly, check out the highest mileage Discos here on this site you would be amazed at some of them. This car is 10 years old and with average annual mileage based on 15000 miles per year, you would expect this car to have covered around 150000 miles. At least she never mentioned the colour. Good luck with your search, there are plenty of them out there for sale due to their massive popularity in the market.............be careful though as it's a bit like running around in a minefield....... Thumbs Up

Hi, I don't believe we've met. What are you getting so upset about?

Firstly, there is absolutely no need for the passive aggressive response.

Secondly, I'd decided to go for a black se with 79k miles that I'd seen for £9.5k up in Scotland (Similar distance for me, but a nicer weekend away).

In the end, the AA inspection I had done on the Scottish car revealed the garage was asking top money for a car with signs of HGF, knackered steering rack, and a whole host more.

I decided instead to go for a local car, and am picking up an Auto HSE with 102k on the clock tomorrow. I got that for around £6, left £3k in the bank, and saved a 5hr round trip to collect.

Crazy eh?

Make sure you get the belts done ASAP if they haven't already. Also you might want to think about getting the oil pump done at the same time. Additionally it might be adviasable to have a meagflush done on the gearbox.
