Buyer beware… don’t buy someone else’s problems. Good luck.

From what I know (and thats not too much. I drink alot!) they do not hold there value very well. Quality control issues and such. Always remember, Lucas is the Prince of Darkness. If you want a “sport-ute”, whatever you do, beware of Jeep. Thats an acrynm for “Junk, Each and Every Part”. Only vehicle that would make an english car seem reliable.

I exercise regularly. I drive a Jeep.

What model is it? A quick look at Yahoo! Autos indicates that that is the right range for a Land Rover Discovery from that year…they give between $4,000 and $7,500 or so depending on equipment, mileage, condition and where you are in the country.
I think **gatopescado** is right, they don’t hold their value well. The kind of person that usually buys a Land Rover also usually wants a newer one. Also they seem to me to push leasing a lot, which I think tends to flood the market with older models.

British auto electrical systems. 'Nuff said.
