Finally decided to give in and get a discovery, the rig I've been wanting for years. With that, I'd love some advice. Tonight I'm looking at a 2004 S at a lot with only a carfax for history. It's been regularly reported to be serviced at the local LR dealership but that's it. Or, there is a 2002 SE from an owner that has had the heads recently done and seems to have taken good care of it through the years.
My question is this, which one? Everything I've read says the 2004 is the best. But, service history seems more important. Will I be missing much going from the 2004 to the 2002? From what I've read I'll be missing the CDL and the 4.6L. Are those to options worth the gamble?
I'll be buying this rig as a daily driver and family offroader. It won't be for hardcore offroading. My style is more about not letting an obstacle stop my exploring rather than searching out the hardest challenge.
Thanks guys
