Potential D4 purchase
Hi guys, I sold my 56 plate D3 after 5 years of ownership about 6 months ago and ended up with a 2016 Discovery Sport (SE base model).
I have tried, tried and tried again to like it, but I don't. I think after a proper Disco nothing else will ever be as good.
I am thinking of trading in the DS for a slightly older D4 (SE tech spec with quite a few extras (rear camera, leather seats, winter pack, black pack) so its close in spec to HSE without sunroof - 76000 miles, 64 plate so about 5 years old.
Any advice from you guys would be much appreciated, budget restricts me to around £21K overall and the one I am looking at is from a main dealer so will come with 1 year LR approved warranty.
Thoughts very much appreciated. It's a big decision.2014 D4 HSE Facelift Corris Grey

Sound like a very sound move to me The leather would have been standard, but just not as nice as the HSE’s leather.
There’s a nice set of compatible 18” Compomotive rims about to come on the market here too 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

Very worthwhile getting the 1 year Land Rover Approved warranty from a main dealer. Although if you do purchase outside the network try negotiating a Land Rover warranty as part of the deal. It's worth getting a Land Rover warranty because these are very comprehensive and the Disco has quite a reputation for breakdowns and failures

Would it not come with a 2 year warranty being an Approved vehicle. I’m in my second years of owning my 15 plate D4 SE Tech and love it. Mine came with the 2 year warranty hence why I ask. The SE Tech has everything and more I was after. Enjoy D4 MY15 SE TECH
D3 gone but never forgotten.

Think mine had around 37k on it when I bought it. Has 48k on it now. It’s a big step up from my old D3 especially with the 8 speed box
