Hello all
First post here.
So I am currently saving up for a 2017 Discovery to replace my old 2002 Blazer.
If all goes well I should be placing the order late spring or perhaps early summer.
Naturally there is a lot I like about the vehicle and could discuss, but start with one small point I guess, one thing I'm a bit sour on and hope I'm not offending any who like it, but I really don't like how big and pronounced the letters that read "Discovery" are on the front and the back and am 99% sure I will have them removed at the dealer before I take it.
For me I really wish it came from the factory with the Land Rover lettering as those are nice and honestly I just favor the name, but I don't know yet if I want to go as far as putting those in place of the Discovery letters yet
Will note to that one of best friend's works as a mechanic at the dealer I will be getting it from, and he has told me I'm not alone as quite a few people have had the letters removed.
Anyway, I guess the only thing that is holding me back is I just wonder if or how much this might lower the value of the vehicle and especially if I want to trade it back in to the dealer as I don't plan to keep it more then 3-4 years before I will probably swap it for a newer one or upgrade to a full Sport.
So I guess to get to the question, I just thought I would query peoples opinion among those who really like the SUV as to what you would feel about getting a used one if you were looking, but finding it had the Discovery letters removed?
Would you pass over it for one that did if it was clean and great on all levels besides that?
Would you feel you should pay less for it then it otherwise would be worth?
Thanks for any feed back
