I bought this truck on 1/14/05, sticker was $38 and by the time it was paid off in 2009 I paid $43,000. It has 7000 miles on it from driving back and forth to CA where this car was driven for 3 yrs until I moved back to Ny in August. This car was purchased for my X wife while I lived in South Merrick,NY in case we had kids. Since then (6/05) I used it as my third car as I decided to keep it 5 months later! From 6/05 to 9/08 while living in the city the car was kept at a friends home in the hamptons and was used on wknds only for daily drives. Winter of 08 I moved to LA where the car was kept far from any ocean and was my 3rd car while living therE. It was hardly used but always maintained. August /12 I moved back to NY and because of hurricane Sandy I lost my business and have to move to another city (Chicago) where I wont need a car once again. I need the money to make the move instead and now use different transportation and have no need for a car. This truck comes with automatic start (great for cold or hot weather!). This truck was NEVER in an accident and everything is original besides the electric start! *I literally know nothing about cars, Im going to tell you everything I know and what issues I know the car does have. I must move in 3 wks for a new job, this truck must be gone by then. **My reserve is low, Ive left room for shipping fees on your end. As well as what ever needs to be fixed.**
Problems with the car: The back left tail light needs to be replaced- the left side door; I was driving in LA and rubbed against the big round pipe that sits in front of the gas pump. In LA the talent of women is abundant and it was when I first moved there. As I was pulling away my eyes moved to the right as my car was turning left pulling away from the pump and I cut it short and pushed in the door. She noticed as others did and it was quite embarring as everyone knew what happened, she was that incredible!! I have been pulled over atleast ten times in LA and NY for someone to punch out the door and fix it- offers ranged from $150-$400 I guess it depended on my dress attire for that day.- Back seat; for some reason I cant fully push it back? It was fine until in August/12 I needed to move something and dropped the seat and that was that. All seats are in great condition with no tears or holes. Backseat middle seat belt was cut, 5 yrs ago it got stuck and I got frustrated and cut it, bad decision but whats done is done. Front moonroof; Hasn't opened in 2 yrs, I was told I needed to clean out some hole, (why theres a hole is beside me) leaves got in the hole and clogged it? No idea and was ok with it not working. My other car is a convertible and I had a motorcycle at the time. Front left fender area; someone's car seems to have rubbed up against it but its not dented, you can rub it out, that didn't bother me either. All minor issues that can easily be fixed.
On Oct 27th Hurricane Sandy hit, fortunately I went to stay in the city with a friend of mine up on 80th st on the 26th of Oct the day before, (my other car not as fortunate -vintage corvette). On the 28th I drove back into Long Island with supplies, food and gas! I helped as many people as I could for the next 3 days. I did drive this truck through some water that was up to my tires but I felt it was worth it to get people to safer grounds! On 11/05/12 I received a picture ticket: I took a pic of the ticket. NY was still is distress at the time and bridges where down still ( I was helping a family get to a better place) to my surprise I received the ticket over a month later. I took the car off the road in Dec as I couldn afford the insurance anymore with no income coming in (I pay $350 a month). The car was started every wk if not 2-4 times a wk depending on the weather that wk. The car drives well, tires are great, ZERO water got into the engine (it was checked by my mechanic after what help I could offer) all windows work, all lights work, zero exterior damage besides whats listed, no interior damage besides whats listed, all electronics work, BUT: some symbols pop up on the dashboard when I turn the car on, they blink? The light by the shifter blinks when normally it would stay solid red when in gear. Since I dont need the car anymore I have no reason to get fixed what ever needs to be fixed. Im selling the car as is and will not be held responsible for what ever issues the car may have. It could just be a switch or circuit or whatever its called that needs to be replaced or could be something more. I do know this, the engine 1000% is fine and the car itself is great! As far as electronics, the lights blinking I do not know what that is! I drove the car today (4/17/13) around the block and it drove fine, lights blinking and all. Please call me at 516.889.1729 for any further questions, Gary. This is for pickup only or I will work with you for it to be picked up. I sold my motorcycle to a gentleman in Saigon before leaving LA and that went off with no problems! Thanks for looking!

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.
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
