Discovery Sale

After six years or so of happy commuting, my wife decided to sell her 2001 Discovery 2, worried that it was getting too old and would require too much work in the future. Sold with a reluctance, as there wasn't much wrong with it, the vehicle was great year 'round and in the worst winter weather, and the waves from other Land Rover owners made her feel a part of a club, but the decision was made.

Well, the first prospective purchaser (a car enthusiast) to test drive the Discovery liked it so much, he bought it - and liked it so much he didn't even negotiate the asking price. Until this week, he'd never even really heard of Land Rovers, and had just entered "all wheel drive" in the search box, which turned up Discovery's as a candidate. Saw our ad, liked what he saw, did the research to learn more about the type - and once behind the wheel absolutely loved it.

Nice to see that seventeen year old Land Rovers can still do a remarkable job seducing people. I wish modern cars had that.

Sad to see her go, it was fun.
