There have been several overland-ready Land Rover Discoveries posted to our forum recently, such as this $32,000 2013 LR4 and a heavily modified $29,000 LR4 HSE. Today’s low-mileage (130,000 miles) LR3 SE showcases desirable factory options, including the Cold Weather and HD packages, yet is priced at a bargain $8,000. Furthermore, it has been routinely maintained (oil changed every 5,000 miles) and, ahead of sale, was serviced with new fluids and filters in the engine, differential, and transmission. Disclosed issues are as follows: intermittent suspension fault, worn brake pads, split seams in the passenger front seat bottom, and a few other minor details, but these do not affect driveability. If you’d like to see how the Discovery performs off-pavement, check out Scott Brady’s Land Rover Discovery Shoot-out.
From the Seller:
“Enthusiast owned and maintained. The car is in great mechanical and cosmetic condition with to-be-expected blemishes. The car has been my daily driver/adventure vehicle for the past five years. I have taken it up and down Arizona and California, and it has always gotten me through everything I’ve thrown at it. The drive is firm and predictable, and the driving position is the best of any SUV, allowing great visibility in front and around you.”
