Welcome to the forum!

Loved my 2nd D4 (not my first, which was problematic), and had two incredible D5s since. Not looked back. Wasn't quite as keen on the driving position at first, after a test drive or two, as it felt a tiny little bit less upright, but as a long-distance cruiser, family wagon and commuter car each day, it's absolutely phenomenal and I genuinely believe one of the most underlooked cars on the market.

Should ask the question of the Disco3/4 forum. There plenty who say if you’ve got a good D4, then hang onto it. Some who went from D4 to D5 and back again.

I went from D3-D4-D5.

Personally, I preferred the D4 from the split tailgate to the engine, but everyone is different.

As for your prices, a good late D4 generally is picking up more than an early D5, so I think the price differential is too much, but then I am not the one buying it.
