§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, sport utility cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (117 of 118 sales), and manual cars account for 111 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year, and a single median that mixes body styles describes none of them well.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1994–1999 Land Rover Discovery first generation worth?
A 1994–1999 Land Rover Discovery first generation sold for a median of $12,400 across 118 completed auctions from February 2018 to October 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 118 sales fell between $9,213 and $16,018 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $3,205 to $49,750.
What affects the price of a 1994–1999 Land Rover Discovery first generation?
Model year: by year, medians run from $11,100 for 1996 (23 sales) to $15,500 for 1994 (11 sales).
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $9,213 to $16,018.
Is the Land Rover Discovery first generation 1994-1999 going up or down in value?
Up. The 20 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $10,900, against $9,400 on 15 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 16.0%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Land Rover Discovery first generation sales is that based on?
118 completed auction sales, from February 2018 to 8 October 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $9,213 to $16,018: half of all 118 sales fell inside it. The full range is $3,205 to $49,750, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, sport utility is the most frequently sold at 117 sales with a median of $12,500. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, manual cars account for 111 of 118 sales. Too few cars of the other transmission type sold to publish a comparison, so this page does not make one.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Land Rover Discovery first generation cars built between 1994 and 1999. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 118 sales from February 2018 to 8 October 2026, drawn from 3 auction sources, principally Bring a Trailer (106), Cars & Bids (11), Mecum (1). Data as of .
