2003 Land Rover Discovery HSE 4.6L 4WD Please read carefully and check out the pictures! Up for sale is a really nice '03 Discovery II. With some work this could be a great ride at a discounted price. Current KBB Private Party value in Good Condition is $8,253 and Fair Condition is $7,503. This vehicle has been parked for approximately 18 months and needs major engine repair. Parts Replaced/Service Performed within the last two years on the road (documentation will be included for all): (1) Front Hub Assembly w/ ABS Sensor Right Rear Air Bags Rear Differential All Brake Pads and Slotted Rotors Alignment (1) Front Sway Bar End Linkage (4) Nitto Crosstek P235-65R18 Tires (Installed at 134,374 Miles- less than 3K wear) -New Valve Stems and Lifetime Wheel Balance and Tire Rotation at NTB included Fuel System Service Rear Blower Motor Radiator Hoses Idler Pulley and Drive Belt (2) New Remote Keys from Dealer Replaced Transmission, Drive Shaft, Rebuilt U-Joints at 121,387 (Primarily used parts- ASE Certified Shop) Relay Blower Motor The Bad That I Know About: Some relatively minor Clearcoat Blemishes on Hood and Roof as pictured Small Cracks in Driver's Seat as pictured And the Very Bad Thing I Know About: Vehicle was towed to Smith Company Motor Cars (LR Dealer) in Charleston, WV for diagnostic and engine teardown. Vehicle was overheating. Dealer invoice (included with purchase) states: "Performed coolant system test. Found that there was too much coolant system pressure. Performed block leak test. Found exhaust gas getting into coolant system. Performed tear down on engine to remove both cylinder heads. Found that 3 cyls slightly dropped. Found that cyl 7 had scoring on back of cyl wall due to coolant spraying side of piston. Boy cylinder heads are warped. They would need to be checked for internal cracks at machine shop and head to be machined and reworked." Dealer recommended replacement long block as best course of repair which was declined. All parts removed are in the cargo area as pictured. The heads and block have not been checked any further and may or may not be repairable. The vehicle was also partially diagnosed for an electronic gremlin which was unresolved due to the larger engine problem. Dealer requested more diagnosis time. The bill for this diagnosis and teardown was $535.30. Vehicle was towed home and has been parked as-is. WILL NEED MAJOR ENGINE OVERHAUL OR REPLACEMENT. Includes all original Owner's Manuals and Two Remote Keys. I will include all repair bills I have (listed above) from the previous owner who drove the vehicle for approximately two years. Total of bills is $6,657.69! Also included is a new rear air bladder in box and a replacement sway bar (pictured). The rear air ride is fully functional to the best of my knowledge, however you can see clearly in the pictures that it is 100% deflated. I have been unable to find a safe way to inflate as the vehicle sits without risking electronic component damage. Normal operation inflates the system upon startup which is, of course, impossible. I am not aware of any other problems, however I bought this vehicle as-is from the previous owner with the intention of repairing it. I have decided to let someone else take on this project! This will be a great truck when it is repaired. This vehicle will have to be towed or hauled from zip code 25702. I am also willing to meet a truck if you would like to make shipping arrangements. Please view all pictures carefully and feel free to contact me with any questions. This vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is, no refunds. Be prepared to turn a few wrenches. Thanks! |

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let'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.
Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
