Bahaha thats hilarious.

"This Land Rover Discovery 3 2008 is for anyone looking for a simple runabout family car".

"This car presents great value at $70 000"

:what::what:

That is pretty funny given the model is not unique and an identical car with normal km is under $20k.

However, there are plenty of other nearly as amusing price tags. They must be happily living in silence, watching the tumble weeds roll by.

Oh well, costs nothing to ask.

Hi Zedrover,

If I was buying a D3 with the kind of budget you have I would buy the newest and lowest mileage V8 HSE I could find. Fuel will be more but maintenance and service costs will be way less and chances are reliability will be much better.

Good luck in your search and if you get one don't forget to put some pics up of it.

Welcome to the forum.

thanks everybody for your thoughts .

Went into landrover and drove a D4 Tdv6 2013 90000 Klms on clock
Very almost bought it $48,000 so I have now upped my budget to 50,000
What should I do 6 speed trans or hold out for a 8 speed ?

I am hoping to get a Hse tdv6 3L around 80000-10000 Klms on the clock
Any thoughts on this would be great also?

It's a really good conundrum to be in Zedrover. I think you will be lucky to find a 8 speed HSE for that price, but if you can buy private who knows.

I'm more than happy with the six speed in our D4 but from what most say the 8 speed is a really good thing.

Main issue with the 6spd in day to day driving is the 'pregnant pause' at roundabouts, when its not quite sure what gear to be in, and then clunks into gear and takes off once it figures it all out. You can drive around it few ways, such as flick the gear lever over to sport when you approach the roundabout. The 8spd doesnt seem to have this problem and is (somehow) smoother.

If it was 8spd pov pack vs 6spd HSE id take the HSE (tho in truth i haven't driven an 8spd). The extra kit you get with the HSE outweighs the annoying pause of the 6spd in my opinion.

There's no pregnant pause at all if your D4 has a V8 ...
