Was going to get a second hand audi S6 v10 but the house we have agreed to rent is down a farm track and there is no way the audi will make it come November. Hence I am now on the look out for a 4x4. I would love a range rover but worried about getting a bad one. I am hoping to get something sub 80,000 miles for around £15k.
Went into a land rover dealer and told to avoid disco 3s??? Any real reason?
Would love to hear from people with suggestions.
Expected mileage is around 30 miles a week and trips to Le Mans and UK racing events. Sub 5000 miles a year.
Thanks

Nothing wrong with Disco 3 at all.
No surprise a Landy garage advised against as they want you to buy a Disco 4.
With a farm lane it's not just about the 4x4 to the tyres, you'll also want some suspension travel for the ruts and bumps.
The Discos, shoguns, cruisers etc all drive very differently to each other -;so do some test drives.
Anything big and old and 'prestige' will need some money spent on maintenance and upkeep though.

Nothing wrong with the Disco 3. They aren't cheap to run and so long as you maintain it it will provide great service and go anywhere. Very comfortable on the road and very practical.Nice place to be when the weather gets bad.
We've had ours for 6 years and love it even with 130k miles on the clock, I don't plan on changing it just yet.

How about a Cayenne Turbo? Cheap as chips these days.
If the 4x4 isn't for any off roading but fast road work then the Cayenne is quite a car. The S is more than enough and I guess cheaper?If you can live with 12 mpg round town, it is great fun on the open road.

Just bought a 06 Cayenne Turbo 42K, FPSH for 14K, awesome car. The turbos have all the bells and whistles, air suspension, heated seats. They also have a low range gearbox should you need it.
This sounds like the recipe for *massive* wallet depletion in case the Bork strikes. Not that I wish that on anyone, but how solid is a typical used Cayenne?
