Is this 2000 Land Rover a disco for $ 7,500, is it ready to dance? – Jalopnik

In contrast to much used car advertisements that see the demand falling over time, the price in the advertisement for today’s great price has increased no dice rover disco as the seller says they have received more interest than expected. The truck has not yet been sold, so let’s investigate how interesting it might be.

In 1889 the Louisville Colonels, a double-a-team, finished last death in their division, who burned by four managers during the brutal season. The colonels add insult and also came into the record books for the unflattering distinction of the suffering of the longest series of losses ever passing by a team- 26 straight matches.

Although few of us probably some flies will have made shags or a bobblehead -similar to us, it seems that we are well on our way in the attempt to beat the record of the Colonels of 1889 of successive losses. At an aggressive asking price of $ 14,900, the Audi S4 Quattro of 2008, which came in our way yesterday, has just added to the pile. The high mileage and the total lack of descriptive history of the advertisement, collaborated to scare many, and even more disappointed. What resulted was a good 78% not a dice loss, so that our dubious line remained alive.

There are a few vehicles on the second -hand market that seem to have a moment at the moment, and the original discovery of Land Rover seems to be one of them. That is despite the ringing reputation of the brand for having a cunning quality and the remarkably craptacular fuel consumption of the V8 engine.

First introduced in the late 1980s as a more accessible sidekick for the Range Rover, the discovery shared the sturdy chassis and capable powertrain of the model with a fracier polish fashion. It wrapped that in a slightly different body that, while he looked considerably downmarket, added different petties, such as Safari windows and a swinging back door with external reserve tire confirmation to clear the interior space.

The series II Disco, which came on the market at the beginning of 1998, added more length to the back for extra load or more spacious seats for the third row of seats. A heavily reworked Rover, no Buick, 4.0-liter V8 under the hood.

This 2000 Land Rover Discovery Has all series II improvements and a few tricks from his own sleeve. Under those improvements and additions, a floor covering platform is that the place of the second row of seats (not a third row for this disco). This can be used as a reasonably bear-resistant sleeping space for all kinds of off-the-grid adventure.

Other updates and upgrades on these 175.333-MIJL Disco include a two-inch lift package from the old man EMU, and a retrofit (forward fit?) Of a middiness of a model from 2004, the supervision of Land Rover.

Add to the party, there are brush protectors in front and rear, rock sliding controllers underneath, and crazy Big Falken Wildpeak tires on aftermarket steel wheels. Not only does the truck seem capable of bringing itself off the sidewalk, but the advertisement accentuates that point through the truck on both a beach and, strangely enough, to show some hay.

It is also claimed to be a reliable ride. One of the headache with which many disco owner is confronted is the main packaging error on the Buick V8. According to the seller, a previous owner has already replaced the gaskets of this truck in 2018. As typical of an older car, except for a Corolla, a lot of other work has gone into this disco to keep it on the road and keep it away. This includes the water pump, tie rod ends, front bullet connections and seals of the transfer. The seller is willing to offer a list of all recent work to interested parties.

There are extra benefits that are supplied with this disco. Together with the platform bed, the seller offers to kick a solar panel, Jack farm and a camp fridge. With the roof rack for gear storage, the reinforced nose and ass and battle -ready chassis, this makes it a pretty solid outing vehicle for all those outdoor species that you often see on the Insta.

It also looks pretty solid. There is no evidence of rust or remarkable damage in the bodywork, and the golden paint still seems to be popping. There are also few complaints in the cabin. The steering wheel does show some wear in its leather coating, but the seats, door maps and dashboard all seem to be in the game. The headliner, another common point on these trucks, seems to stand well and, his charcoal instead of cookies, probably already a replacement.

The truck would run without problems and comes with a clean title. The reason that is given before the sale is that the current owner has not used it much lately and wants to see it go to another enthusiastic who will give it the right exercise.

So far it all seems very simple and the seller seems to appear with regard to the current state of the truck and the most striking factors in his recent history. But then there is the price tag of $ 7,500, of which the advertisement says that the seller has collected because of the overwhelming interest that is shown in the truck. They ask that only serious investigations are being conducted as a result. It should be noted that this overwhelming interest rate has not resulted in a sale because the advertisement is still used up.

What do we think of this apparently Turn-Key Overlander and that newly raised price of $ 7,500? Does that seem like a deal to enter your own disco era? Or is that overwhelming underwhelming?

You definitely!
