Whats it worth?

[Vern]

Mother in law is looking at off loading her disco, and was just wondering what it would be worth, heres the list:-
96 ES Disco
300 tdi (complete new motor, about 10k old)
Auto
Trans case has had some new gear put in it (now with oil gallery?)
245/70 bfg a/t
variable boost on turbo
injecter pump turned up
free flowing exhaust (all been dynoed)
snorkel
dual batteries
new fan
uhf
electric brakes
new stereo
bilstiens
lra springs
arb winch bar
spots
draws and fridge slider
new alarm and central locking

Any ideas on what its worth?

Has it ever been offroad?










Sorry, I couldn't resist.:p
From what I've read all the extras make little difference to the value of the vehicle, it's more based on overall condition and service history. How much life is left in the tyres? Were the engine tweaks professionally done? Electric brakes implies it's done some heavy towing which might explain the replaced engine. How many kms on the clock? (the vehicle has still done the ks even if the engine hasn't) What brand of snorkel? Lots more questions about vehicle history come to mind which would all impact on its resale value.

Been off road but nothing hard, bfs have about 20k left, airtech snorkel, low 200k, electric brakes are for camper trailer, all engine mods done professionally, engine replaced after cracking head and cooking motor

Don't know about the rst of the vehicle but, do you want to sell the drawers and fridge slider seperately??:);)

Ummm... no.
Am thinking of purchasing the car for myself and selling the missus Forester as we need a bigger car, the thing is i know the history of this car and it will suit our needs as a everyday/ tourer type.
It is in ok nic, needs a bit of a tidy up here and there, like the rear windows don't work and windscreen is cracked, but thats about it.
My only concern is the ABS, occasionally the anti lock brake light comes on, and the ABS has come on twice before, but hasn't done it for ages, i'm sure i can fix this though.

most likely dirt on the sensor - if not then most likely a faulty sensor or a breakdown in the wiring - in a worst case scenario the modulator may have dirt in it and the innards might need replacing (can be expensive)

The car is likely to be worth somewhere around $10 - $12K

Ah thats easy to sort. take the bulb out of the back of the dash :D :D

I wouldnt expect more than about $10,000 for it as it sits probably less but would be worth getting as when they are well looked after they go for ever.

Would she swap for my Jeep? (I wouldnt do it to her Im not that mean).

[George130]

How about your gratitude and you will be nice if she gives it to you.

[Vern]

We changed our minds on it, needs a bit of work, but she will be seling it soon, just waiting for her divorce settlement to come through, so its up for grabs.
I don't want it because i don't really like it to drive, gutless and sick of ducking to look out the windscreen, missus is keen on driving the rangie around, god help her.
Matt, as for april, probably not, only got my auto back today and seem to be absolutaly flatout with work. I thought you hated discos, whats the asking price on the rangie (presume its the chev one)

Yea I hate them, But the economy would be good, and between my rangie, the jag and the cheved rangie, I ain't got anything economical, not that i really car, but with all these days of and lots of money I think i might do a litlle travelling on my lonesome

[rovercare]

By the way, how much is she after?? what needs doing??

Give me a bell, or atleast your number if you like

[Vern]

Will find out what she wants, probably top dollar, but it needs work.
needs front springs due to bullbar
rear windows (elec) don't work
screen
1 shade on rear sunroof needs fixing
swivel housing need shims done i think.
and a really good clean up.

make an offer and i'll run it by her
