The Discovery II's made improvements to the body, engine and suspension. They have more creature comforts and are in general more reliable. If you must have a newer Land Rover, a Disco II is the way to go. But expect to go through the usual: Headgaskets at 60-80,000 miles, major services every 30,000 miles, ABS valve block issues etc.
And either way, I would get a pre-purchase inspection done by a shop that knows Discoveries. It is an extremely good idea. The car you buy could bite you hard in the wallet if you don't. A PPI also gives you a starting point for bargaining.|||Dear Bracken64; you havent a clue what you're talking about! DiscoII is a heap to work on, the EFI suck, as do the brakes. The older Disco is a far better car! Even the factory thinks so! Having been in the business and former Enginerr for Land Rover, I know what I'm talking about!

If you want to look like you go on a safari every other month get a DEFENDER V8|||Not a good idea, bad gas mileage and costly repairs that often occur make this car not worth it at all. instead i would look at a toyota 4runner if you want a big SUV|||They are safe, but they break down a lot. And they are very expensive to fix.|||Welly, my good man, if it were a choice between getting pecked to death by angry parrots or owning a Land Rover, I'd pick the birds.
