    Advice Purchasing a Td5

    I've just seen a Td5 Discovery for sale near my place:

    Its a 2004 manual 5 seats for only $15K and its only done 110k Km. I really like these cars & don't mind that they rattle a bit.

    To me this sounds a bit cheap compared to other ones I've seen out there. I like that its a manual for better fuel economy and just preference but I've been waiting for a Td5 with 7 seats.

    Do you think this sounds like a good deal?

    If I was interested in it I'd take it to a Land Rover specialist near mine to check it out before buying it.

    Thanks!

    The MY04 were the best of the D2's.

    Very important that you check out it's service history & also get it checked out by an independent LR specialist or it could cost you a lot.

    Heaps of info here as well,search is your friend

    Good Luck

    Um,it maybe one of the runout classics

    thats a very midrange price Id still pick it to pieces and fight the price down though.

    If its mechanicals passed me and its pretty passed the SWMBO for the Ks on it it might well be worth whats being asked.

    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    Thanks for the advice.... Its a 2004 03MY TD5.

    I might take it for a test drive and just get a feel for it, although I did have my heart set on a 7 seater.

    Possibly 2003,MY04.

    MY usually starts around October each year i think,others may chime in.There is also difference in build date & plated date.Mine for e.g. was built 01/04,plated 03/04(that is the Aus plate),sold & registered 6/04.
