I picked up a 2003 Land Rover Discovery Series II this weekend. It was a one owner vehicle that was traded in to the dealer to upgrade to a newer car. Carfax results showed that the last owner was getting regular oil changes and maint at the dealer, seemed crazy to me, but I sometimes service is included with the car, either way I'm not arguing. He last had it in 4k miles ago for the 50k service before upgrading to a new car. Went from him, to dealer, to me and it is oh so nice. I was originally looking at getting a new(er) pickup truck, like a 05', or an 06', but after consideration of toting the dog and what I would get more use out of, I opted to replace the Cherokee with a vehicle that had similar features. Granted, there is no comparison in "niceness" between the two, but functionwise the Rover fits the bill.

I've never had a car with so many "luxury" features. It even has this crazy hydraulic anti-sway compensating system that tightens up the suspension on one side or the other if you swerve to prevent body roll and it works freakin awesome. From that to the dual sunroofs, the 300lb of torque at only 2600rpm, the sonar backup sensor that beeps faster and faster as you approach an object while in reverse, the xm/ipod/in dash/& 6 disc changer, airbags, hell even down to the burlwood dash this thing is amazing. It will make a nice comfortable light duty off road and camping machine while the big Jeep is reserved for the more rugged trips.

I love this thing. I even promised my wife I wouldn't lift it for at least a couple months, she thought I was kidding about lifting it. lol
