Thread: Which Disco to buy second hand

Firstly, welcome to the forum. Plenty of good info here. A good place to start perusing would be the Disco 4 section -
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-and-4-a/

and the associated FAQ page -
The AULRO Discovery 3/4 & RRS FAQ

That should get you started! I'm sure others will be along shortly to better answer some of your queries. BTW, I talked my sister and brother in law into buying a D4 after coming from a Prado and before that a Patrol. They almost bought a 200 Series Cruiser until they drove the Disco. Deal was done 10 minutes later. They are a fantastic car and well worth it. Good luck!

Short answers first:

1) HSE or SE - if you're wedded to memory seats, sunroof and Land Rover's (very ordinary) sat nav, you'll need the HSE. But to be honest, the SE is all you need. You should be able to get a 2016 SE with 10 to 15k on the clock for $80K, no more. I bought mine (white) in Sydney with 7,000km on the clock for exactly that in March.

2) Go with white. They look awesome in white.

3) underground car parks aren't a problem, unless you have a loaded up roof rack.

4) I got mine from Alto Land Rover in Sydney, it was a demo. My brother just bought exactly the same car from Barbagallo in Perth. There aren't many left, and they get snapped up pretty quickly.

But I have to ask the question - they're massively over-engineered for mere soccer-mum duties. Aren't you better off with something like a Kia Sorrento, for less money and a 7 year warranty, brand new?

Thanks Greg. I know its a bit much for a soccer mum but I have always wanted a big boxy car and they are rare these days. Its either the Disco or a Prado. I currently have a 2015 Mazda CX5 Grand Touring. Really nice car but I have had buyers remorse. I made the "sensible" choice when I bought it. Its just too small. I just really love the disco. I love the shape, the full 7 seats, the grill, the lights, the split back etc. etc.
I will keep definitely keep my eye out for an SE.
