Thread: selling a disco?

I paid 6 from a family friend for it but i got it put on gas.

I guess im researching for the worst case but hoping for the best. Hopefully i can figure out something else.

Just to be daft, why not keep your wheels for yourself and when mum needs to be driven around you use her car?

Get her one of those boxes all the tour coaches use for the oldies as an extra step.
I actually have one as a tool box.Watched a tour coach drive off from behind my place leaving it behind

Put side steps on it and tell her to just walk on in . My mother in law has no problem getting in and out even with a 2'' lift on the car.
thens all ways says its lovely up here

Air bag suspension. Up down up down easy...

Do you drive her around much?

If she hasn't got a car you can use then why not just get a cab with her if it isn't too often.

Considering how much you will lose on selling it and then having to buy another vehicle. Plus selling that vehicle when you realise how big a mistake you made selling your Landy

My grandma has the same issues. Just make up a set of stair to walk in with. It makes it much easier than squating into a lower car.

My Grandmother has always prefered my 4wd's than trying to stoop down into normal cars.

Even the 2" lifted Disco with 32's she has very little trouble after 2 new knee's and a hip and bad arthritis but last time she did ask if I could make up a step lol

I very very rarely drive her around though and Im not sure how yours is with all the climbing in thing but you will regret getting rid of the Disco.

1 4wd she didnt like though was the ZG Jeep as the doors were really narrow.

My mother found the Disco easier than 2 stoop down as well. Just find a nice tall gutter & slide her in. My wife used 2 give her a little hoist if was required & that was great,as Rodney Rood says, its your Mums bum & you dont want 2 go there.
