A definitive answer, thanks Tombie.....Quote:

While I found a few cars that had low km's, say under 120,00km, and had 8-speed boxes, only one or two had the infotainment system and none had the beige or creme interior or the exterior colour I like. If I found one (yes, I literally found one!!) with the creme or beige interior, it was either too high km's, or it was a 6-speed or both and it didn't have the infotainment/GPS... it seems that the light coloured interior accounted for around 5% of new car sales in the Disco!! Most were ordered with the dark grey or black interior! Add to that a preference for either the Nara Bronze, Ipanema Sand or Fuji White and its virtually impossible.
So either I buy one with the dark interior, low km's, 6-speed and high spec engine, or continue searching ad nauseum until I find what I am looking for - which I think is trying to find rocking horse kaka!! The other alternative is to buy a RRS with low km's (found a MY10 with under 70k km's, and many with under 90k km's) with the creme/almond/beige interior and all the fruit but with a 6-speed gearbox and the higher spec engine - for the same or less money!
Right now I'm leaning towards the RRS! They just seem to offer better value in that it ticks all the boxes (higher spec engine, infotainment/GPS, reverse camera, sunroof, H/K sound system etc etc) except one - 8-speed gearbox! Sorry guys I so want a D4 but goddamn its almost impossible trying to find the right car!
Decisions, decisions!!
Cheers,
Tricky
