Wales 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Adriatic BlueDiscovery 3
[Wanted] Fast cash waiting for Disco 3 2005-2008

Ideally want manual but might consider auto if too good to pass on

Prefer below 100,000 miles

Will travel but as I'm in South Wales Scotland is too far so prefer max distance north or Manchester.

Not too worried about the exact model, although HSE might be nice..... Wink

Fsh is a must

Let me know what you have please Smile

update: as per my post below

"So, after a little more research I've discovered the following:

1. Auto is probably better for my needs
2. There are loads of HSE around and within budget so getting one shouldn't be a problem, it's just finding one that isn't the other end of the country and isn't green :/
3. Although I originally thought 2006-2008, 2005 onwards if fine, especially as it means cheaper tax on the early ones Smile

So revised list is:
2005-2008 HSE with under 120,000 miles
Prefer black but if not then grey or silver.

Just missed out on one from a dealer at £6695 with 6 months warranty, fsh, cam belt done etc.

Yes, some dealers and some private are asking silly money but they are not selling as there are lots of dealers selling these cheap at the moment so £6,000 to £8,000 is enough to get what I want.

That said, if my 2013 Mercedes estate sells soon I'll be able to up my budget for an even nicer one"

I would go over a little, just like everyone 100 is the magic number above which it makes it a tiny bit harder to resell when it comes time to upgrade.

But if it averages out at 10,000 miles per year that is also ok..... Wink

Anyone who wants a manual has never driven an auto!
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

They are clearly looking with their eyes closed..... I have found loads in the last 24hrs Wink

Just looked at their site, they seem to think certain cars don't even exist so I'd definitely ignore them
