We are not original owners, so we can only tell you what we know what has happened to the vehicle since we owned it. IT WILL NEED TO BE TOWED. Was running fine until coming back from Tennessee mountains and it started running rough. We stopped it, and towed it the rest of the way. It has been parked since. IT HAS THROWN A ROD OUT THE OIL PAN, BUT NOT OUT THE ENGINE. IT NEEDS A BATTERY AND IT WILL RUN; HOWEVER THERE IS PROBABLY NO OIL IN IT SO WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING UNTIL THE OIL PAN AND ROD ARE REPLACED TO SPARE THE VEHICLE FURTHER DAMAGE. The rear hatch door has become jammed, it was working up until a few months ago. There is a little under body rust, and a small area of rust on the ladder that climbs on to the roof. The air conditioning may need a switch as it is intermittent, and the cruise switch needs replacing. One small section of the headliner needs to be fixed (as seen in one of the pictures). This SUV was a Very Comfortable ride and drove with considerable power up until the thrown rod out the oil pan. It has a CD player under the passenger front seat, 2 moon roofs, a bush guard, tow package, running boards, V8, good tire tread, heated front seats, cassette/radio, and all wheel drive. We have 5 other vehicles to keep up and work on, so we are just going to have to let this one go. Kelley Blue Book in Fair Condition for this vehicle is valued around $2,855. Excellent Condition is valued at $3,830 for this year model. If you have 0 feedback, contact us via email before bidding. We also have another account- an ebay store with over 500 feedback score. Serious inquiries ONLY. Thank You.

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The 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.
