Thread: 300TDI Purchase

What you have listed is roughly $2k in repairs roughly, while you at it get the clutch done when rear main seal gets sorted, another $700ish.

The 94 model is that the old or new interior, can make a big difference in price.
What model is it SE or base S?
I feel its a little steep seeing that you will end up paying over $10-11K to get it registered, stamp duty, transfers and insurance etc.
Thats just my opinion.
There is a 97-98 in the market section here with a ton of fruit(extras) for same money. Its a white one too which looks great.
Just my thoughts of course.

Thanks. It has the newer interior. I am not sure if it is the S or SE. It has dual airbags, does that help?

I tend to agree with big_guy.. i think with the repair work needing to be done.. and cost of vehicle its a tad over priced...

but wise choice getting a disco

Twin air bags does sound like a SE but still a bit pricey.

Do not rush into it, there are plenty out there.

So I took the plunge and purchased the vehicle, I picked it up yesterday. I am very happy with it, especially when I read closely in the service manual to find that it was a one owner vehicle.

Thanks for your feedback.

Now to find an adventure!

It is a 300tdi so is the new interior (300tdi are all updates). For a 94 update there are only two trim levels the standard level and the ES. S and SE designations came later.

ES had airbags, ABS and leather trim as standard - airbags and ABS were an option on the base model.

Gotcha.

Why is a friends spare parts car a 94 complianced with 300tdi with ugly old interior. No leather no nothing.
Might have been a Rover thing that passed the production line somehow.

Ever heard of a 97 SE Plus model than. thats what I have and have found no other real info on them?

If it has a LT77 box then you are right. It would then be the interim model between the the first D1s and the updates. I thought that in a disco the ugly interior discos only had LT77 and TDI200s and the updates had 300s and R380 boxes.
