Wanted newer better spec disco please
Hi guys have loved my 05 plate disco3 S 70000 miles manual in cairns blue but am looking to upgrade to a newer better spec car ( without serious electrical/ mechanical gremlins). Ideally I would like an 08 auto se spec with about 60000 miles. I would also like privacy glass and bluetooth. I would Px my disco and 3k could stretch a bit for the perfect car to get it. Is anyone interested or am I being unreasonable?

Can I get this right, you are looking for an owner to change their Disco for a lower spec higher milage car that is three years older in return for £3k.
Mind you don't get knocked over in the stampede

Having been shopping around for a D3 recently I would say your 3K is about 7K too short. For details on the next Kielder Safari click visit the Kielder Safari website

Did you consider spending the 3K on your Disco? It would probably yield a better return than gambling again on an unknown Discovery and you'd save a few quid on the tax each year.

Hi I think it's worth about £11 to £11.5k which is gutting considering I bought it for 15k last December Looking around at part ex values and most start negotiations at £9500 Oh well that's cars for you isn't it! Out of interest what do people think a 57 plate gs auto would be worth from a garage ( non landrover) with 54k on the clock??
