Today I am making the hard decision of selling my Off-road ready Land Rover Discovery. I bought this car in late January of 2013.  It had roughly 189,400 miles on it, and was in need of some TLC.  The man I bought it from had bought it as a novelty item and did not understand what a great car he had on his hands. Due to financial troubles he was forced to sell, and bought it from him days after.  As you can see I have been very busy with the Discovery, repairing and replacing item throughout.  My plan with this car was to take it from the "diamond in the rough" condition and bring it back to par with 2013.  I can tell you mechanically this vehicle is solid, the engine was just overhauled and given a clean bill of health.  All the lights and accessories work flawlessly. The transmission was also looked over and found to be perfectly fine. The tires and brakes are also in good condition with plenty of miles left on them.  By the lengthy repairs you can tell, I am not one to skimp out and am a perfectionist.  When I hear something or see something odd it gets dealt with that very same week. 

This car has been a weekend cruiser for me, and sadly due to lack of free time have not had the opportunity to take it off road. During the week it sits parked in a warehouse waiting for the weekend. The vehicle exterior and interior are above average for there age and milage.  Before purchasing this vehicle I looked at several discovery's (both newer and older) and could not find one with as much potential as this one.  The interior does not have any tears in the seats or carpet. The seats havent faded or began sagging, and the leather is plush and soft. The exterior body is straight, with very small dents on the drivers door panel (see photos).  The paint was not professionally done, and does not have a Ferrari finish to it. For a 14 year old off-road SUV spending $2,000 + on a mirror gloss paint job felt like a waste, since off-roading will always scratch glossy paint jobs. The car originally was gold in color with the common Land Rover fading/cracking paint.  I had the old paint sanded down, and sprayed with a coat of bed liner to prevent rust and oxidation. Then it was painted Mineral Grey and clear coated.  Very easy to touch up, making scratches and imperfections an easy repair. 

This vehicle has over $10,000 in repair and modification.  While the miles may be higher than to your liking, I can tell you its nothing to alarm you. The car is rock solid, and I wouldn't for a moment hesitate to drive it cross country or across the country.
I am selling this car because a close group of friends and I were going to take a road trip to Cabo San Lucas in it, however there just isn't enough free time to do all this, and I am not planning to go off road anytime soon.  Therefore it needs a home who will take care of it and use it for what it was built for.    

Please know: This car is 13 years old with 192k on the odometer.  It is far from a new car, and while it is in outstanding condition, it has its blemishes.  Please see all photos and videos below before purchasing or bidding.  
THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD "AS-IS" / ALL SALES ARE FINAL
PAYMENT: $200 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED 48 HOURS AFTER AUCTION CLOSE VIA PAYPAL.
SHIPPING: IF YOU PLAN TO SHIP THE VEHICLE, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACQUIRING TRANSPORT.

Please contact me with questions and concerns before bidding. A bid is a binding contract between the buyer and the seller.  If you plan to bid, you plan on buying. All violators will be reported to eBay.

Current photos are pictured below, however I have HD photos in the photo bucket album link below.  They were taken October 2013, prior to the exhaust, strobe lights, and parking sensor install. That is the only difference between these photos.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
