I'm in no real rush at the moment. Weighing up the options...
I have a Lexus NX as a daily drive so it can wait. May even go up to a D4, though that's harder to justify when you are talking about 3rd car (SWMBO has her own car too).
I'm targetting at March time to start the real looking - but I always get my searches in on autotrader and fleabay early so I can get a feel for the market on any given vehicle.
In my experience, the right one will present itself at just the right time
Having spoken to SWMBO mind, we are not going to bother with bumpers, winches and the like and so will be a bit closer to standard than before...
I spent a lot of money on K400 that perhaps in hindsight was a lot of shiny stuff that was not strictly necessary, example, £1400 on an uprated ICE system. Can live without that. D3 07 SE - still going strong

Mild winter and you might find what you want in March. I went for April as good time to buy. .

Has anybody else noticed how dear late D2 are compared to early D3? I started noticing this about a year ago and even back then thought the D2 sellers are living in dream land!

Not sure why anyone would want a D2 over a D3.
Simpler, yes, but if that's your mind set then surely a defender is a better bet? D3 07 SE - still going strong

The sticker price it £5995 so, its either a listing mistake or that usual salesman BS of advertising it cheaper to get you hooked in! Once you have travelled 3hrs to buy it........ and all that guff! 15.5MY XS in Corris Grey with Black & Almond leather

D2 - midway between a Defender and a D3 - simpler but comfy enough to actually use?
I am looking at the prices of a V8 Defender and thinking to myself that a D2 or even a L322 Supercharged is better money!! MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)
