Discovery trim levels

[size13]

I'm thinking of getting a disco to use for work and for towing my boat/sleeping in when I sail away from home. Plus the lane down to work is getting terrible and shaking my clio apart!

I was looking at an Audi A4 Avant 2.5 tdi (180), but since the lane problem isn't going to go away, I thought about the Disco.

I've been looking at around 19k to spend on a td5, preferably one with the new shape headlights, with leather and an auto box.

Does anybody have or can point me to a list of the spec's for the various trim levels, e.g. es, xs, gs, g4 etc The LR website only has the new variations.

how many seats do you need and are you vat registered?


if you only need 2 and are registered you can get a brand new TD5 commercial for 19k plus vat..

it doesnt come with leather but you can spec it.


mines got

mettalic paint
alloys
climate control
exterior pack
roof rails
rear air
remote control for rear suspension
tow pack

and i paid 19.2k plus vat in june 03

p.s.

what ever you get budget 1k for the je stage 2 upgrade on the engine..

No, not vat registered and I would need more seats when required to cart other people about.

Thanks for the heads up about the engine upgrade. I have read a little about it on here, but don't know too much about it. Is is an offical LR upgrade?

its kind of semi official, lots of the main dealers have it done or recommend it, and unoficially its the only conversion where l/r will honour the warranty

o had the full stage 2 upgrade and its made a mojor difference to the car in performance and better? fuel economy..

I bought a 99T XS Td5 for £10k, and it is great. You are looking for an ES spec car. I would suggest a Td5 ES auto, £19k should buy you pretty much anything you like. Don't discount an older or cheaper car - your ideal car should start at about £11k or £12k for a 99T. I borrowed a brand new demonstrator recently, and mine drove a lot better. It is very much a buyers market, if you are patient you will find a bargain.

Sorry, forgot to add:

ES - full leather, twin electric sunroofs, climate control, 18" alloys, harmon kardon stereo.

XS - half leather, twin manual sunroofs, climate control. Mine has 18" alloys and harmon kardon, not sure if these were standard or not.

7 seats better for resale but more expensive, auto more desirable too. Don't discount a manual 5 seat if it is a good price, spec, condition.

Interestingly there are some good deals on new run out models..

killing time at the local l/r dealer they offered me a new motor 1500 less than an identical used one with 4k miles on it !!!!!

Thanks for the info guys, I'm not in a big rush, so I've time to look around.
