Thread: Another Disco or an LC200

Better the devil you know. I've been driving the Paj of late, better brakes, more grunt and bigger doors, but for venturing further than Aldi, the Disco is a better vehicle hands down.
Will Mrs. C be confident in a car that rolls on four roulette wheels, or prefer a reliable, boring appliance that gets her to work on time every day.

What do you want to be driving?

I know it's not that simple, but that's where I start.

The LC200 is the absolute opposite of all those things. Talk about seismic shifts. IMO you sit IN a LC200, a D4 wraps you up and cossets you. $30k buys a lot of spare parts, even at OEM prices.

As Christian from Germany says, LR dealer service history is probably not a positive on the pros and cons ledger though.

Not quite that simple, John. Is Mrs. C happy enough to play the "Turn the key and play the "will it get me home again" lottery."? Bear in mind if/when anything goes wrong, it'll be Brad's fault and he'll be the one who has to suffer for it.
Does $30k rectify a busted crank?

Me? My D3. Happy driving a D4 or the LC when required.

Pams folks were here for a couple of months and they had her car. We borrowed the LC200, and with the exception of the rougher ride she rather liked it.

On the other hand, yes $30k is a lot of spare parts. The other elephant in the closet is the V8 LC200s are depreciating very, very slowly. So

Brad is talking about a 2.7. Don’t believe they have the broken crank issue.

Absolutely. Which is the reason I told her to look for 2.7's only.

Mind you, the crank went in the D3 before it hit 80,000 miles. But I've not heard of any 2.7s in the D4 popping.

I thought the 2.7 were also quite capable of soiling the bed via the crank/bearings. Cheers
