WTB: 2004 Land Rover Discovery (maybe 03)

After flopping my 04 in August, Its been a long road with insurance and still going. But we're nearing the finish line and I need to start searching for a suitable replacement.

I have several options that basically fall into 3 categories.

1. Pull/reshape the body and replace all panels - so I need a Bonatti grey donor, near so cal or reasonably close so i can tow it home.

2. Body/frame swap using a better donor. I'd be looking for a good body/frame roller. NO dark green and must be in relatively decent condition for a body/frame swap, ie: no accidents etc. Red, Blue (light blue), Grey, Black White

3. A full parts swap of my stuff onto another D2. For this option, id want a low mileage car. Red, Blue (light blue), Grey, Black White. no green, maybe giverny but im gonna low ball on green. Not really into dark blue either. In this case id be looking for the unicorn and willing to blow some coin. MY truck has 83k on it, so in this case, id want same or less.

I'm open to other options. Really its a pretty wide field of acceptable vehicles and/or options, but i also have some no no's. No dark green. No salvage title on option 3. Offroad parts are of no use/value to me so wont have much sales value. My truck is built the way I want it, so I don't need an ARB bumper or voyager roof rack.

I have cash (read cashiers check, pay pal, whatever works to get the deal done) - I may or may not ship or fly/drive/tow home depending on situation.

Grail colors would be Alveston or Icelandic.

Ah bro, I heard it over the radio when you went on your side. I was the LR3 camping with you guys, but didn’t do the run. Bummer, hope you get it sorted soon! I think I have some drone footage of you as you departed the first day.

However I may take offense on your tone against dark green rigs, being that mine is a Tonga Green lol.

I changed my tone against green. Tonga is fine, giverny is ok. But dark green I just can't do.

Nathan,

Since you always pay cash and are a good friend, I accept your offer. Go ahead and drop off the truck and the cash at my place tomorrow.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the notice...

But, mileage is way too high. Keep in mind I'm running a meticulously maintained fully custom D2 with 83k. 13 yrs owned.

I don't need any offroad parts. And I don't need a rebuilt motor etc. So this particular one has nothing to offer me except an $11k loss.

I have nearly every single off-road accessory I need or want on the truck already and only 83k.

I'm looking for only 3 options....

1. Donor truck. Panels. No motor, etc. Mileage won't matter but less than $2k. Bonatti grey only.

2. Body/frame swap. Needs to be low mileage or super clean and not high mileage. Hard to pin a price here... Too many variables. But this one isn't it.

3. That one truck. <80k miles, icelandic blue/alveston red, one owner, etc. Unicorn.
