You could be onto something with that red merle! Personally, I started Preparing myself (and swmbo) for the £74995 price tag of the D5 HSE for some months now!  
Wonder what this does for residules on our my16 HSE and luxuries? MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten
MY12 HSE - Gone
MY16 HSE Luxury - Sold
MY20 D5 HSE - Sold
Current RR L460 PHEV

Again, drawing on the FL2 experience, resale prices of very late FL2's actually rose slightly for the year following the DS launch.
If the D5 follows the same pattern of a steep cost increase and not being a true direct replacement, I suspect that the same thing may happen all over again. 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

As a prospective D4 buyer, what are you likely to do now?
Not sure to be honest. I think I will have to look at nearly new, but would still work out more than the deals I got offered on a basic SE but we'll see.

absolute joke...my D3 HSE was one of the early ones, the price new was a shade over 30k, i know 10 years have elapsed but I can't see how in gods name the price should have gone up that much, especially with the price of commodities as they are at the moment. 3 Flash Indicators

I will probably get shot for saying this, but At the prices of a discovery now, look at the facts and figures of this weapon....No use if you want to venture off road mind you!

You've got a point. At these prices and with such a limited choice, even BMW's can start to look tempting! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4

hmmm...
I just sold my 2012 M40d - fully loaded - a 65k when new car :-0 with 21,000miles on it - for £30k. to swap into a new D4 HSE.
I would take a very long test drive before you jump into an x5. Great on the motorway and smooth roads - awful on country lanes and lethal on snow.

Good to know I had a first generation X5, it was diabolical but I maintain I got a bad one. I can't see me moving away from discoveries but the prices are ridiculous. 3 Flash Indicators

just been having a flick through auto trader at 1 year old discos, seems 35k gets you and SE or GS and the spec levels for this price of car are absolutely appalling 3 Flash Indicators

yes, i have to say - after being in the x5 for a year... the Disco is better to drive but the spec, the sunroof, the nav etc... is like stepping back in time
