Default D90 or Disco

Hello,

This is my first post here.

I have owned two Rovers in the past a 99' Disco and a 04 Range.

I would like to purchase a vehicle for off road use and a little daily driver use. I live in the desert but in the winter we get some water so I will be doing light crossing from time to time. I plan on lifting it about 2-4 inches, putting a wading kit, a wench and snorkel on it.

I would like to know if either a disco or a D90 is the better choice.

Thanks,
Matt

Depends on the money.

D90's cost 30,000 stock.

Disco's cost 10,000 stock.

If I had a unlimited pocket book D90 for sure.
But if you spend 20,000 on offroad parts for the disco it will be better then a stock D90.

I personally think D90's look sick.
But I can't afford it.

So I got an 04 Disco.

Discos cost 3-5k stock... unless you get a 03/04 which are still hanging around the 8-12k range.

d90s generally range 15-40k depending on condition.

If you can swing it get the 90. I love my disco but have serious 90 envy

Discoverys are much more comfortable and have creature comforts. Drive both and see.
