Depreciation of Discovery

The Discovery was a purchase that I thought over long and hard. The vehicle was bought in March and I traded it in July for a more fuel efficient vehicle. Upon trading the Discovery I learned that I had lost over $7000.00 in the short time that I had the Discovery. Overall the Discovery is a good vehicle for someone that is not concerned with the high maintenance costs, terrible fuel mileage, and finally a horrific low trade-in or resale value.

I bought this to go four wheeling with..

I looked around to buy this specific Land Rover. I wanted coil springs and solid (live) axles on both ends as I like to go four wheeling. I also wanted one I could easily hook a CLD up (center locking dif-transfercase) to make four wheeling a little better. The Hill Descent Control works well, it'll let you crawl off a STEEP mountain by using the ABS, you don't have to touch anything. Being it didn't have a CLD from the factory, it uses traction control to make the four wheel drive work, and it does fine, although it's less of a sure feeling then a true locking transfercase would be. It's one of the best STOCK four wheel drives you can get to go in the dirt.

Love it Hate it

I really want to love this vehicle, I really do, but I rarely have a decent stretch of trouble-free miles to feel good about it. Front turn signals and fog lights fill up with water. Rear hatch components corroded. Windshield washer nozzle is corroding and leaving rusty water residue on my hood. Air conditioner drains are always plugged, drenching carpets. Underdash panels fall down. The air suspension warning light goes on and off randomly. Had an air suspension leak that my dealer told me didn't exist. Every few days the vehicle would list to one side. It's fundamentally rugged, but you will be driven nuts by the little things.

I'm very happy with my disco. I hope FORD doesn't mess with Disco and give it IFS/IRS like the explorder.
