1997 Land Rover Discovery SE review from North America
"1997 Discovery : The reason Rover is now bankrupt?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leak since new.
Failed electric windows.
Failed electric moon roofs.
Won't start/leave stranded.
Failed ignition switch.
Premature brake pad wear.
Non-existent customer service.
General comments?
Bought this car new w/extended warranty. Thought I was buying luxury... instead I bought hassles.
Ultimately, unloaded my 41k car for 6k with only 75k on it. The sad thing is that I got the better end of the deal since ultimately it wasn't worth 6k. It just looked like it was.
