[Wanted] Fast cash waiting for Disco 3 2005-2008 |
|
Ideally want manual but might consider auto if too good to pass on
Prefer below 100,000 miles
Will travel but as I'm in South Wales Scotland is too far so prefer max distance north or Manchester.
Not too worried about the exact model, although HSE might be nice.....
Fsh is a must
Let me know what you have please
update: as per my post below
"So, after a little more research I've discovered the following:
1. Auto is probably better for my needs
2. There are loads of HSE around and within budget so getting one shouldn't be a problem, it's just finding one that isn't the other end of the country and isn't green :/
3. Although I originally thought 2006-2008, 2005 onwards if fine, especially as it means cheaper tax on the early ones Smile
So revised list is:
2005-2008 HSE with under 120,000 miles
Prefer black but if not then grey or silver.
Just missed out on one from a dealer at £6695 with 6 months warranty, fsh, cam belt done etc.
Yes, some dealers and some private are asking silly money but they are not selling as there are lots of dealers selling these cheap at the moment so £6,000 to £8,000 is enough to get what I want.
That said, if my 2013 Mercedes estate sells soon I'll be able to up my budget for an even nicer one"

For that age group, why do you want less than 100,000 miles? New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
Sold Volvo XC90 R-Design (known as Basil)
Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)
No longer the Old Buses original owner
231,000 miles and counting
05 S manual owned from March 2005
D4 Face lifted
Still original injectors and turbo
V8 Front brakes
BAS Remap, Allisport Intercooler and deCat
EGRs blanked
T-Max split charge
Hanibal Expeedition rack
Prospeed ladder
Duratrac tyres
IID BT
BAS FBH control

I would go over a little, just like everyone 100 is the magic number above which it makes it a tiny bit harder to resell when it comes time to upgrade.
But if it averages out at 10,000 miles per year that is also ok.....

You will be lucky to find a HSE manual. Less than 650 in the country according to the website howmanyleft.co.uk

Anyone who wants a manual has never driven an auto! It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

They are clearly looking with their eyes closed..... I have found loads in the last 24hrs
Just looked at their site, they seem to think certain cars don't even exist so I'd definitely ignore them
