How does Europe feel about the Land Rover Discovery 2

In Europe, the Land Rover Discovery 2 is valued for its off-road capability, Td5 diesel efficiency, British heritage, and practicality, with good parts availability and a strong enthusiast community. However, it's also criticized for rust issues, electrical faults, slow performance, and costly repairs, especially for models with air suspension and complex electronics.

Despite a few scratches on the paintwork and some wear and tear on the bumpers and...

The $700 LR3

We purchased an 2006 LR3 for $700.  Was it worth it?
  A couple of months back we picked up a 2006 LR3 V6 for $700.  Yes thats right.
