Right, well its not like those are 'bad' years still...but a Defender is going to be even more of a beast than a Disco on the road..just letting you know, incase you had little experience with Land Rovers...trying to just lay it out there, and you can take it for what its worth. I have a 97 Disco that I bought for under 6k, it is in good condition, but it has been a long time in upgrades, as after fixing the previous owners lack use, I have put about 2k into in 6 months, and am looking at 1500 for a total brake refit, tranny flush, and exhaust repair....then my first step will be a 2" lift of the suspension (a lil over 600), and from there tires (at least 500), then bumpers/roofrack/other stuff (all 500 or more each)....soooo, it takes a lot to initially get a Disco super off road, but it pays for itself once its done...but I would suggest a Range Rover if you are mostly going to the store or driving from city to city....
