Thread: Good Value? 2007 TDV6 SE - Opinions please

Thanks for the input Scott.

I'm test driving the TDV6 tomorrow morning. I have extensively spoken to the owner about condition and servicing and all seems great, but tomorrow will be the real test. Only issues is a few dings from shopping trolleys apparently. Not sure what the cost would be to get them filled and painted? Only a small job.

Hey Budron - what is the rush?

The best advice I can offer is don't rush. Perhaps hang back and chill a bit.

The right Disco with an immaculate maintenance/service history with a perfect interior and exterior will surface for you. Don't compromise and settle for second or fourth best just because they are available. If you do you may end up regretting it.

I would avoid both of those Discos you have posted about but that is just me.

Good luck in what ever you do..

I agree
I took 6 mths to find my RRV.

Thanks guys. You do make a good point Grumbles. The only factor for me comes down to price. I'm sure a great conditioned Disco 3 is just around the corner, there's some out there now. But they are worth $10,000 more than the one I'm looking at at the moment.

I just saw the TDV6 and the only issues I have with it is the small dings in the door (see pic) and the slightly high kms (186,000).

It has new tyes, new breaks, steel sump, always garaged and looks like it's been paid attention to with servicing. I negotiated to $17,000(yet to commit) with the timing belt service in mind.

I just don't know if this is a great deal, or something that comes around all the time.

It is a good price. I would get it inspected. If your really keen put on a small deposit and sale subject to inspection.

I agree with getting any prospective buy inspected and preferably by an independent Landrover workshop.

Buying and selling Rangies and Discos is basically a buyers market and you "might be/are" the only genuine prospective buyer the seller has encountered. Bargain hard and bargain low and walk away but leave your phone number. The seller isn't your friend - the relationship is simply a dollar transaction - with the dollars better in your pocket than the sellers.

Geez I wish Grumbles was around when I bought my TDV6 - I would probably be ten grand better off now!
