The Land Rover Range Rover HSE is the best 4x4xfar to get you around town, and to play in the country. This 2004 Range Rover is my third one, and I can't imagine NOT getting a 4th. It's currently based in the Texas Hill Country of Austin, and has made frequent trips to the lakes west of town.

When you're in a Range Rover like this one, you are just plain happy! It's a joy, even at the gas station, when invariably someone will come up and say, "I've always wanted a Range Rover. How do you like it?" I love it!

If you watch any TMZ-like program, you'll notice it's the main vehicle of Hollywood. Everybody just loves a Range Rover, and you just can't beat it for the vehicle that you'll love most, both on and off road. The vehicle's air suspension system can be controlled from the driver's seat, and includes a low setting to enter and exit the vehicle, as well as suspension heights for 4-wheeling, and highway and town driving.

This particular Range Rover's main bad part is this:

I never purchased a navigational computer, which was missing when I bought it, because iPhones have better systems anyway. However, if you want to replace it, they are available on the Internet for several hundred dollars. Since the navigational screen is blank, you have to program the radio without seeing the station call letters. I listen to just a few radio stations, and the vehicle has rarely left Austin, so it hasn't been an issue, but you may like to spend the extra dollars after purchase to get that navigational computer installed (the small dealer I bought it from in Florida must have taken the computer out before I got the vehicle, and since it wasn't listed, I couldn't do much about it.) Bottom line is that the AM/FM radio/Casette/6-Disc Changer all work, but you can't see what you're listening to. And I think that computer is the only way to set the clock, so the clock isn't set (you could kill the battery, and bring the battery back on at the proper time). The only other little problem is that some of the numbers don't show up all the way in the dashboard, so it doesn't see the 100,000 digit yet (it shows 54K miles, but it's actually 154K miles.) When it hits 200,000, I'm sure you will see portions of the 2. I've included pictures so you can see the problem.

You'll see some wear and tear of an 8-year old vehicle, but as with most vehicles of this caliper, you'll notice that people take way better care of them than cheaper vehicles. The $72,950 Window Sticker is still in the manual packet. When you own a vehicle that was originally high-priced, the best thing you can do is try to find an independent garage that you can trust, and who will help you take care of the vehicle without thinking you're made of money to spare. Range Rovers are plentiful enough that most big cities have a Range Rover specialist that doesn't overcharge you to keep the vehicle in shape. This vehicle has been maintained by Phoenix Motorworks in Austin -- they know what they're doing, and are extremely fair to their customers. They were recommended by Ben's Workshop, the top local Mercedes repair specialist, and both shops have been incredible to work with. I'm sure you can find a local Range Rover enthusiast community to help you with maintaining this SUV.

Happy bidding, and please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil 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 Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
