[For Sale] 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S 6 Speed Manual Low Miles
FOR SALE
Okay, Hopefully i'm not breaking any rules here!! I read the rules and i think i'm okay..
Right where do i start, Firstly this D3 is registered & located in Ireland (R.O.I) UK & IRE BUYERS WELCOME.
I bought it in the UK (Manchester) in November 2014 with 79k and have fell in love with it from day one, that much that i'm contemplating an upgrade to a 2012 D4 HSE due to go on sale in July/Aug this year with very low miles and at a really good price from a local company owned by a friend of a friend..
I am really only testing the water at this stage to see what interest is out there on it, if any..
Don't get me wrong if a buyer comes along i will not refuse a sale right now!!
The reason i have advertised it here is purely due to the fact that the demand for these Discos is much much higher in UK then in Ireland, I traveled to buy it as i struggled to find a decent one here with low miles and as clean as the one i got, I spent monts looking before going to UK, I haven't advertised it here yet but possibly will in the coming weeks & maybe in the AutoTrader or somewhere similar.
(Suggestions Welcome as to where best to advertise it in UK) ??
I also believe that registering this in UK from ROI dosen't cost a fortune unlike here i had to pay €1100 VRT to change to Ire Plates. I understand there is only an admin charge for UK buyers taking cars from ROI. (CORRECT ME PLEASE IF I'M WRONG THERE)
I have also converted it to a 5 Seater for road tax purposes so on paper here it is now classed as a 5 Seat Crew-Cab bringing my road tax down from €1700pa to €333pa.
Could easily be brought back to 7 seat however the space is great in the back i wouldn't personally bring it back to 7 seat unless you had a big family..

I'm sure there is more that's all i can remember right now, Have receipts for all work carried out..
THE BAD STUFF:
- There isn't any, Well not that i know of & i wouldn't expect there to be after the money i spent on it a couple of months back.. It really does drive well with no knock or rattles..
SUMMARY & PRICE:
This really is a stunning looking Discovery 3 and is every bit as clean as it looks in the photos, It starts on the button and in the time i have had it & drives like a dream.. You will NOT find a cleaner D3 out there or one that drives as well as this does..
Should be a good few years hassle/expense free driving in this D3 now after all the work i done to it..
The price is £11500 or equivalent in Euro, At this price i wont even break even in what i paid for it and spent.
Anyone interested from Uk can be picked up at Dublin Airport as i only live 25mins from there , Flights can be got for in and around €70 i paid €57 return when i flew to Manchester to by it, Obviously i didn't need the return flight..
Incidentally the ferry port (Dublin Port) is only a 15min drive from the airport, So you can be over and back in a matter of hours..
When i bought it in November i flew to manchester airport at 7:30am met the seller not far from there, Drove back to Holyhead port got the next ferry and was back home in my house at 5:30pm that same day, So travel shouldn't really be an issue and believe me the days work travelling will be well worth it for the person who buys this Discovery..
The interior is immaculate & unmarked i will add interior pictures later if requested once i have given it a quick hoover..
Thanks for looking & any questions welcome.. You can also PM me for more info.[/b]
