I have decided to sell my Land Rover Discovery. It's a series I not II so it has the real off-road frame (looks like structural I-beams) and drive train from before they "mom-ed" it. I've been used to American cars my whole life, but when I found this in Army Green with a really hard to find 5 speed, I had to have it. I also liked that these Rovers are in full time 4wd (all wheel drive) with the option to manually shift in to part time, diff lock 4x4. The problem is that it's my daily driver and I'd like to get something with better (30+mpg) gas mileage. This Rover is super clean inside and out.
I would not be exaggerating to say that it is the nicest, cleanest, Disco I've ever seen. In my search for this one, I came across train wreck after train wreck. People just didn't take care of them at all. But this one doesn't leak oil like a sieve as nearly all do In fact it doesn't leave puddles at all. There is the tiniest amount of surface rust in the rear door jams (nothing compared to typical Rover rust, and I applied rust-blocker right away) and none underneath at all! The rare 5 Speed Trans seems unstoppable. The body has the straightest lines you'll find on one of these and there are no dents in the metal. There is a 2" lift from the previous owner and the thing feels like a tank off road and in snow. Probably as safe as a tank too. And on the flip side, she's been on road trips and rides very nicely on the highway as well! Starts, runs, drives, stops great every single time.
It has brand new:
-Tires
-Muffler/Exhaust
-Battery
-Fuel Pump
-Wiper Motor
-Heater Switch
-Rear Power Window Switches
-Rear Driver Window Motor
-Rear Wiper Arm and good new blades all around
-$2000 ARB winch-ready front bumper
-Radio head unit- Pro installed, expensive on Land Rovers, but I already did it so you don't have to!
There is a small amount of clear missing on the rear passenger door as shown, the paint itself is fine and there is zero rust in the area. The dash lights/dimmer switch no longer works. Vibrates when accelerating hard. Again, least amount of rust you'll find on one of these!! Frame is completely clean!
Thank You!!
~~ $500.00 deposit required within 24 hours of purchase. NO REFUNDS, be sure of what you are bidding before you bid. Full payment due in 7 days. Rover will be re-listed and again I will offer no refunds.
For any questions or details I left out or any picture requests please just ask! Thank You.

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.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
