Im offering up my personally owned 2003 Land Rover Discovery II SE w/80k miles for sale or your best reasonable cash offer. I have owned the truck for just over a year and recently bought a full-sized truck for work and no longer have a need for the Discovery. This is a 100% legitimate 2 Owner vehicle with no BS stories, Im in contact with the original owner and neither of us have ever spare any expense in the service of this Discovery and by all means I consider this a RARE find in a Discovery. If you make me an offer, please send me a telephone number to call you prior to accepting your offer I will call you...


History

I'm a self proclaimed Rover junkie and have owned several Discovery's and Range Rovers over the past 10 years. I'm extremely familiar with all their pro's and con's of ownership and this Discovery was purchased after several months of looking for the right Discovery with a 100% CLEAN history. The Discovery was originally purchased in Hawaii by a gentleman who was in Hawaii as a Red Cross Volunteer. When his volunteer term ended he shipped the vehicle back to the states where it was donated back to the Red Cross to be sold at a charity auction where the proceeds benefitted the Red Cross. I heard about the truck through a friend of mine in Atlanta, GA and went to the Red Cross event and purchased the truck and brought it home to Panama City Beach, FL. At the time of purchase the Discovery had 59k miles.

The Exterior

The exterior is in near flawless condition, the paint shows with a near showroom shine and has a deep gloss and reflection. The truck has never had any previous paint or body work and literally has maybe 2 door dings on the entire body. There is a couple of light scratches on the passenger rear corner but these could easily be buffed out, they are not deep or all that bad. There are two minor dings on either side of the upper rear of the truck, above the taillights. You would likely never notice them unless I pointed them out. The worst part of the exterior is the front center bumper cover section is cracked and broke in a few places (see pics). In person you can hardly notice because the truck is black and the under portion is black so it is kind of hard to spot unless your looking for it. This is a very common thing for a 03-04 Discovery...

The Interior

The interior much like the exterior is near flawless and has NEVER been smoked in. The leather is in excellent condition and shows with very little wear. The carpets have been covered with the original factory heavy rubber floor mats preserving the carpet in like new condition. The rear cargo area has the factory original cargo cover which is rare to find a Discovery with the cargo cover. The headliner is brand new and less than a week old. I went with a black headliner to offset the gray and it looks great. The interior is in like new condition and shows extremely well, near showroom condition when its cleaned up.

Mechanically

Mechanically the truck is 100% solid and I can write a novel on all the service work I have done to the truck in the year I have owned it. I bought the truck with 59k and at 62k the original 4.6 Litre developed a tick that by 64k became more of a knock. The 03-04 4.6 litre motors are known for slipping cylinder sleeves (google it) causing the motor to tick/knock. I purchased a used 2002 4.0 litre with 43k miles and had it installed in the Discovery and the factory ECU reprogrammed for the 4.0 litre. There is literally no difference in the way the truck drives or pulls a trailer. I have the paperwork for the motor and motor swap which indicates the miles on the used motor and the Discovery at the time of installation.

The tires are all Michelins with easily 70% or more treadwear remaining. I also had the rear brakes done about 2 months ago with new pads and rotors, most recent oil change was about 2 weeks ago and I always run 15w 40 Rotella in it. The Discovery hits the road PERFECT with no shakes, vibrations, pulling, or anything out of the ordinary. The Discovery does not have any indicator lights on, although the check engine light is known to come on and off depending on 2 common reasons, 1. the gas cap not being on tight or 2. an O2 sensor that I think is on its way out. It's off more than it comes on, however the gas cap can be tricky at times.

Overall

Overall in my opinion the Discovery is a rare find due to the low miles, 2 owners, and service history. It's hard to find a clean Discovery thats hasnt had a million owners, and with a complete service history and been this well cared for. I'm only selling it because my work needs have changed and need something that will pull a much heavier load than my boat or jet skis...

Payment

For payment I'm requiring a 20% NON-REFUDABLE deposit within 48 hours of the close of the sale and remaining balance within 5 days form the end of the sale. I will accept bank to bank wire transfers and verifiable cashiers checks only, no exceptions. I owe a little bit of money on the Discovery so my credit union has a lien on the electronic title. Once payment in full has been made the credit union will release the lien and the electronic title can be printed within 48 hours.

Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit

Fri, Jan 29 2021

BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos

Wed, Oct 17 2018

Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
