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 THE THE OIL PAN AND ROD NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE DRIVING IT AGAIN, THEREFORE, YOU WOULD NEED TO TOW THIS HOME OR HAUL IT BACK ON YOUR TRAILER. You may want to replace rod bearings also; just a suggestion. 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. This is a nice vehicle for someone to get in good running condition again. We also have another account- an ebay store with over 500 feedback score. Serious inquiries ONLY. Thank You.

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 details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
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.
