Look at the huge overhang of 2008 LR3s vs. used. I'm seeing 07's and used 08's in the $25k-$30k range all over Autotrader. With MILES. Having shopped, I'm seeing $15+ cash discounts off MSRP. Problem is finding one with adequate equipment. Loads of black and silver LR3s if you like that out there but few with NAV/TECH package or Xenons. I'm having to go out of state for sure.

mastertech73 - Being an LR Master Tech, would you rather own / work on an '01-'03 Disco II or an '06-'08 LR3? I'm in the market for a daily driver and weekend off-roader and while I'd love to get the LR3 (I already own an '08 LR2), I've heard that the air suspension has given some mechanical troubles in the past.
 
The Disco II is a tried and true vehicle both on and off road and, I believe, has less electronics to go wrong than the LR3. I have a good friend who leased an '07 LR3 and was ready to go thru California's Lemon Law, until LR paid about $4500 in his lease payments for all of his trouble. Plus, it's nice to get a used Disco II for about 3/4 the price of a used LR3.
 
Which vehicle is easier to work on, which one is better equipped (stock) as a weekend off-roader, and which one is more expensive to maintain when something breaks? I'm assuming the LR3 is more $$$ because of the added electronics. I've also heard that it's next to impossible to work/upgrade the suspension in the LR3 because of the air suspension???
 
Thanks!
