2000 Land Rover Discovery Series 2 Ii Sd7 Fully Serviced & Prepared Great Truck! on 2040-cars

2001 Discovery 2 SD7

Introduction:

If you’ve been looking for that perfectly serviced, low family ownership, ultra clean Discovery II 7-Seater, your search is over!  This is an AWESOME truck… it joins the best of both world: All the options and refinement of the Disco 2’s – including rear air suspension! – but as it’s an SD7, so it also boasts more overall reliability than its more equipment burdened cousins.  I think you’ll find that with a truck like this flaunting over $7000 of recent retail servicing, jumping on it should be a no brainer!

Styling and Options:

The SD7’s were all business – they featured all of the legendary updates that made the Discovery II’s what they are, and yet – they are designed to be as field ready as you would hope from a truck in the Land Rover line-up. 

As I’m sure you can see from the pictures, the Alpine White exterior is BLINDINGLY gorgeous.  The paint is still smooth to the touch and will be forever.  The Alpine White colour was the ONLY Rover colour that was formulated to resist the battering of harsh sun-bleached climates around the world.  You will never have to worry about fade; as you would with nearly any other colour. 

The Bahama Beige seats are in excellent condition; soft, clean and perfectly working.  All power seats work as they should; as does the rear split-folding bench, as well as both of the 3^rd row jump seats and folding head rests.

The factory running boards are near perfect, the front bumper has no chunks missing, both front wheel brake vent scoops are still intact and the rear folding cabin step tucks away as it should!

The rugs are still clean, plush and odor free.  This was a non smoker vehicle and it shows from the second you get into it.  The Brand New headliner rounds out that feeling of factory freshness and she even smells like a new car inside.

The best part about the cabin for me is the non-sunroof interior.  It protects both drivers and passengers from blistering sun – where the retractable sunroof screens on other models don’t quite do the job.  You have a roof that will never leak, you have a cabin with more head room, and when summer heat is at its worst, the SD’s will ALWAYS stay much cooler inside.

Performance and Operation:

As you would think, this truck performs brilliantly.  It does not overheat, tick, knock, stumble, or hesitate at all.  There are no warning lights, and no stored codes.  It is all power, all go, all guts, from the second you turn the key.  This truck was really combed over to be the best it can be.  All electrical windows, seats, sunroofs, doors, lights work perfect.  The steering is crisp, the suspension is tight, and the drivetrain has been fully serviced making it totally reliable.  The next-gen HVAC AC and HEAT work great and with its recent service, the AC is ear-lobe and knuckle freezing cold!!!!

With selectable SPORT mode, you can launch onto the motorways with total confidence.  There are no shimmies, shakes, or wanderings of any kind.  The ride – partly due to the rear EAS – is rail road like in quality.  No clunks or bumps – just a smooth, quiet, reliable ride you can feel.  Have another look at the highlighted shots featuring standard ride height and max ride height: there is NO LEAK DOWN whatsoever.

Let’s talk about Rear Air Suspension.  This feature is the advanced version of the EAS that was originally developed by Land Rover In 1993.  It is more robust and reliable than older models and works perfectly.  For most people it is great for two reasons – A) Towing.  It will automatically level your ride height when pulling a trailer as opposed to a normal vehicle that collapses and does a wheelie with your camper in tow. B) Enhanced comfort.  As mentioned, you will absolutely notice a difference when you hit speed bumps, pot holes, and crowned roads/dip crossings.  This is especially nice for your 3^rd row passengers!!!

Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:

No one puts a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD.  It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE.  Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands. 

 All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else.  Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle.  Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my trucks.  They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Classic without these services are ticking time bombs.  I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic.  I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval.  I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept:  DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY?  WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT?  The answer is always yes.  And that’s when I know they are ready.  I care.  I know you do, too.

Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints, they go to the farthest reaches of the planet.  They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it!  The point here is, I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership.  Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed.  I have A LOT of copy-cats out there.  If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me even though other sellers go so far as to “cut-n-paste” my listings!!!

While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune to future service needs and flaws.  They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old.  Case in point on this truck, the pictures display a host of parking lot variety dings and bangs; but nothing in my opinion that takes away from its overall quality and reliability.  I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW!  There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here.  Additionally, eBay offers a 3^rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON.  Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION.  Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such.  There are no warranties offered here, but that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time.

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win!  Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay.  This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle.  Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment.  The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it.  Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding.  Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction.

Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward.  Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition.
