Sell before the rush, D4 a popular car, winter coming. Hold till Autumn?
Yup. All you need a sprinkling of snow on the ground and prices rise by at least 10%. I deliberately bought my Discovery 3 last month as summer is the cheapest time to buy. Really looking forward to the seeing the D5. Latest rumors suggest it will be launching with the JLR twin turo four pot. Should upset some of the purists

If they keep the weight down (like with the latest RR), that'll probably make for a reasonably sprightly Disco.....Really looking forward to the seeing the D5. Latest rumors suggest it will be launching with the JLR twin turo four pot. Should upset some of the purists
Nothing wrong with a Disco having 4-pots from this purist's point of view (Disco 1 came with the decent 4-cylinder 200/300 tdi and the awful 2.0 Mpi).

Dealer called me today, reckons he will get a disco 5 in the showroom this coming october, and deliveries will be march 17. Asked if id be interested in swopping my 15 plate D4 for a new one.
tempting! bet the deals will be woefull, but wondering what they would value mine at.
hopefully the Disco 5 wont have the hesitation on pulling away that the 3 and 4 has.tempting! bet the deals will be woefull, but wondering what they would value mine at.

Mpi was fine. More powerful and faster than a Tdi, just less grunty.Nothing wrong with a Disco having 4-pots from this purist's point of view (Disco 1 came with the decent 4-cylinder 200/300 tdi and the awful 2.0 Mpi).

It looks like a cut and shut with an RRS front and a Disco Sport rear, to be fair though it's probably a really good car, from what I read it's expensive though, creeping well into RRS territory.
It looks good but it doesn't look like a "Discovery" if that makes sense, too rounded now.As said it'll probably be great but I can't see these being used in the same manner (that being said people said that about the Disco 4's)

I would let others have the pleasure of owning one of the first few months production of Disco 5.
You want longer than that. General rule of thumb is try and avoid buying a car in it's first year of production. Saying, this is LR product and we all know that this will have a long list of issues. I predict that people will rave about it for the first five years whilst they are all in warranty, then after that., we will start to see what they are really like reliability wise.
I personally predict that the electronic seat fold will suffer from lack of use.
Overall I do like the look of this car, but I'm sad that boxy rear end has left us and I struggle to see the links to the D1/2/3 at all even though LR are telling us they are there.
