2004 Land Rover Discovery Se7 | 116k Miles on 2040-cars
Corona del Mar, California, United States

General Info: I am a late 20s landscape architect selling my Disco so I will have the cash needed to support myself for a few months while I grow my new business. I have owned this car since February 2011 and absolutely love it. It drives great, I feel very safe, it's stylish - classic yet hip, it holds the whole crew, reasonable insurance, the list goes on. I really hate to let it go but I feel having the cash would be more useful than having wheels at this point. But I can guarantee as soon as my business is off the ground, I will buy another '04 SE7 - it so great of a car I will always have one. As stated above, I have owned this Disco since 2011. At the time I was driving a 2010 Mercedes C300 manual. While it was a lovely car, I needed more space and knew if I was going to get an SUV, the '04 seven seater Disco would be my only choice. A Newport Beach resident, I scoured Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties in search of SE7's. I found a mere 10-15 options in all of Southern California. After driving to see each one of them in person, choosing this Disco to purchase was an easy decision. Most were in poor condition and being sold by tiny seedy "dealerships" in the not so nice parts of town. This one, however, was pristine and being sold by the Jeep dealership in San Diego a few miles from Pacific Beach. Once I found this beautiful example of a Disco, I drove the Benz back to Newport, parked it, took a $200 cab ride to San Diego, and bought the vehicle. For two and half years, I drove it to the office five days a week as well as around town and the occasional Palm Springs or LA road trip on the weekends. During that period I had no problems at all - mechanical or cosmetic. But then...here's the game changer...I started a furniture business on the side. Once I began transporting furniture in the Disco, it's condition went from "excellent" to "great" to now just "good". First, I cracked the windshield with a side table. Then I made a hole in the back inside plastic with an armoire. And just general wear and tear cracked one jumpseat back and detached another. In addition to the three "whoops" my furniture moving caused, there are two more. First, in late September, my neighbor hit the front bumper taking a chunk out of the top it in. Then, three days later, I backed into one of those yellow poles that protects mechanical equipment. That whoops cracked the bumper and shattered the plastic that covers the back brake and reverse lights. Fortunately, the only reason I would give this car a mere "good" rating is because of the minor cosmetic damage I caused. And this damage seems easily fixable. I called and both bumpers as well as the windshield can be fixed at your home - you don't have to take the vehicle anywhere if you don't want to. And the jump seats covers just snap back on. A little time and a few bucks and you could easily take this Rover back to the "pristine" condition it was in six months ago.
*I am a landscape architect, not an auto mechanic. I do not know anything about accessing vehicle condition. I do, however, know this car. It has been my daily driver for almost three years. I am familiar with the way it runs just as I am familiar with the way my own body runs. To me, it runs just a smooth as the day I got it and I foresee no immediate problems. But again, I am a not an auto mechanic. Condition (Cosmetic):

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
