would you purchase a discovery?

Change the "E" to a "D" and you've got yourself a real classic!

Jeff,
I really think you've discovered (no pun intended) the point of this type of discussion. They are to make you think and inform you, not tell you what to do. If there was only one right vehicle we'd all be driving the same thing. Sounds like you have or had a nice variety of vehicles through the years!

If I were you, I would stay FAR AWAY from the 300te 4Matic. Almost everyone I ever knew who had one had trouble with the 4matic.

I owned for 6 years a 1985 300td wagon. Was the best (and most reliable) car I ever owned.

That would be my choice. It is tight with small dog, 2 kids and wife though...

I think this thread has reached and passed its climax.

Please start a new one, if there is to be anymore useful input.
