WHATS IT WORTH?????
« on: April 14, 2005, 00:24:01 »
Er indoors has decided to learn to drive, so me in heinsight have seen a future problem :shock:
1. Shes gonna want a car
2. She won't drive a Discovery :roll:
3. I can't afford to run two cars day to day :oops:

So heres my solution
1. Sell the Disco :cry:
2. Get myself a some cheap commuter transport (motorbike) :)
3. Buy er a boring run of the mill "family car" :(
4. Buy myself a cheap 3 series to do up in my garage and run the odd weekend. :)

Ok you've heard my boring pitch

What i wanna know is wats my car worth :? cos i ain't got a clue

1990 200Tdi Discovery
140,000 miles
Dec 04 serviced
Dec 04 new brakes all round
Dec 04 new exhaust
includes rocksliders, mantec snorkel, rebel steering guard.
Its been off-road three times (not nearly as much as i wanted to take it)

So there u go wat do u recon :?:  :?:  :?:

If She wants a car let her buy one  :twisted: (I recomend the £100 nova 1.1 pox box edition :shock: )

Why should the misses wanting to drive alter your life and why won't she drive a discovery ??? send her on a driving course in it (off road) and you never know she might get the bug . :wink:

I have my Disco and the wife has the vectra I like the speed of the vectra but when I drive it it feels like my a*se is scraping on the ground I much prefer the ride in the Disco.
so many hills , so little time ....
discovery TD5
work in progress...lol

The wife says One has to go  it's either her or the car.

Ah, there is the solution "kids" - plural..... how many do you actually need???  :lol:  :lol: One is useful from time to time, allows you to buy toys that you REALLY want without embarasment and gets you a family ticket into some places. But more than that is just showing off  :lol:

Or you could always sell an organ..... given multiple kids, could I suggest one??  :lol:  :P

Book price gives for 89-94 £1155 - £2780.

For your year and millage I'd say £2500 given that it might appeal to the more off road market with the mods fitted.

You could remove sliders and steering guard and sell them privately  :?:

In reasonable nic there're still a good solid reliable motor and easily serviced with plenty of used parts available.
