Range Rover vs. Disco
I currently use my dads '91 Range Rover that he originally baught for hunting purposes. I really like this car and I have been putting x-mas/b-day money in the bank since I was 10 to buy my first car along with jobs. I used to want a used bmw 325 or something, but now I like the versatility of the Range Rover. I figure my first car will probably need to last me through college. I have looked into both the early discoII series and the early models of the SE/HSE series range rover (around $10K). It seems that the Rover is a better road car along with a nicer interior, but I hear about a lot of problems with them (my classic had 2 in the last 6months...minor...acceptable for me with the a newer car). Also, I plan on converting the air suspension if i get one. I met a guy with a disco a week ago, and it seems that those are a little more reliable and have a lot more aftermarket parts available. Gas mileage, roadhandling and acceleration don't matter to me since i've seen the worst it can be with my classic (no offense), but I want something that won't cost too much to maintain (I porbably wil take it to a shop since I won't have time to fix things myself), <$1500/yr in maintanence.
I don't know much about the discoII series, so If you recommend that, please give some reasons why.
