Up for bid is my Disco, which I have owned for just over 4 years and its been a great ride to have.  I have maintained her myself due to the high cost of the Dealership and other smaller shops without fail.  A friend in Colorado was going to take her, but his wife said no more trucks for him.


But now I've run into a issue(s) I can not overcome:

- She is overheating, even after I replaced her thermostat and she has been leaking antifreeze slowly overtime (only when engine has been running).  With the new thermostat she holds her temperature, but after 20-30 minutes she slowly starts to over heat.

- 1 car too many

- I no longer have the place to work on her due to some of the tenants in my garage abusing the privilege of being able to work on their vehicle on site.


I no longer have the time, or place to continue my adventures with her...sadly.  I'm not 100% sure what is wrong, it maybe another sensor or it may be a need for a head gasket change.  I believe I could fix her (even if head gasket issue), but as I mentioned I don't have my garage anymore, and even then...it's a big job to leave in a community garage.

The title is clean and I have it in hand.  I bought the vehicle with the knowledge that she had been in a fender bender a bit before I bought her.  The photos show the minor damage done to her bumper and the driver side front quarter panel.

The engine is strong, I don't drive her any further than inside my garage as I don't want to possibly damage anything else.  But before she overheated the engine ran strong without fail.

I really don't want to get rid of her, but the reasons above...one has to go with the addition of my motorcycle.  I recently added parts to her listed below.  I have receipts for all current purchased parts for the truck.

I am also selling a pair of rear oxygen sensors plus an uncut,unprogrammed new key fob.  See other items I am selling.  

Kelly Blue Book has this rover valued at $3,090 for private party at fair condition (which is the lowest). I am putting her at a low bidding start and no reserve for the overheating reason.

I have been fully upfront with the "major" issue with the Disco and have not withheld any information regarding the SUV.  If I think of anything else I will update as needed.

*Front fender (minor) damage

*Torn/Ripped leather seat(s) (Drivers side worn most, other is small)

I am also posting her locally and reserve the right to cancel my listing if she sales before the auction ends.

If the purchase is local and the the transaction will be in person, either cash or a cashiers check will be accepted at a bank of your choosing, if you don't have one, then at my local bank.  Title will be given at that time.

Please provide your own means if you need help transporting the vehicle.

I will not part the vehicle out.  If she doesn't go with a sale I will donate her to charity.  I rather have cash in hand, but a tax deduction works just as well.  But I know she  still has loads of life to her.

Please make sure you ask me any questions before bidding as she is "AS-IS" and all sales are final.

BMW X6 M said to lap the 'Ring in 8:20

Fri, Jul 17 2015

Bimmer Today reports that the German rag Auto Zeitung ran an Audi RS3 and a BMW X6 M around the Nurburgring together, and the hotted-up sports activity vehicle came in just five seconds behind the white-hot hatch. Driven by 'Ring regular Horst von Saurma, the RS3 ran its lap in 8 minutes, 15 seconds, and the X6 M ran an 8:20. If those times are accurate, that makes the X6 M the second fastest production SUV on the lap-time list according to Wikipedia: ahead of it is the 550-hp Range Rover Sport SVR, which ran a time of 8:14. That time puts BMW's 575-horsepower, 5,200-pound SUV four seconds ahead of the time registered by the last-gen, 555-hp X6 M, and well ahead of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S that Sport Auto clocked an 8:34 with. It would not, however, match the predictions that X6 M project manager Herbert Bayerl made for it in an interview with Sport Auto earlier this year. Bayerl said "The new BMW X6 M moves at the level of M3," speaking of the E92 BMW M3 that Sport Auto ran around the 'Ring in 8:05. It is, though, two seconds faster than the E46 M3, which lapped in 8:22. Bayerl called out the Range Rover Sport SVR directly, saying, "We have been traveling much faster in testing and have undercut the time of Range Rover several times," and "We don't need any special attachments to go faster." Auto Zeitung's report on the lap is only for subscribers so we'll have to wait for more official news. For the apples-to-apples comparison we'll be looking forward to Sport Auto's hot lap, then we'll know if the Range Rover has anything to fear. Related Video:

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now

Mon, Jun 22 2015

"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:

Jaguar-Land Rover rules out downsizing into new segments

Sun, Nov 17 2019

Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) will continue expanding its portfolio of models during the 2020s, but the group confirmed it won't chase volume by branching out into smaller segments like its German rivals. The two brands will instead seek partnerships to generate economies of scale. "We should not and will not drive down into segments just to get economies of scale," said Felix Brautigam, Jaguar-Land Rover's chief commercial officer, in an interview with Autocar. He added the second-generation Range Rover Evoque (pictured) released in 2018 is already a relatively small car. It stretches 172 inches from bumper to bumper and 75 inches from side to side, so it's approximately 4 inches longer and 5 inches wider than the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf. It's about 8 inches taller than the German hatchback, however. While that's small by luxury car standards, Mercedes-Benz and BMW respectively went smaller with their Smart and Mini brands. Audi doesn't have an entry-level sub-brand, but it doesn't need to because it's part of the gigantic Volkswagen Group. Japanese luxury firms like Lexus and Infiniti are also part of bigger companies. Brautigam's comments bury numerous rumors. They confirm Jaguar won't take on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the Audi A3, and the BMW 1 Series with a model positioned below the XE, which competes against the C-Class, the A4, and the 3 Series, respectively. They also douse cold water on the born-again Freelander (which ultimately morphed into the LR2 in America), which Land Rover was allegedly developing to slot directly below the aforementioned Evoque. Ironically, JLR might soon have access to platforms capable of underpinning smaller vehicles. Parent company Tata Motors is actively looking for an outside company to link arms with the British brands, according to a separate report. Officials reportedly approached BMW -- which used to own Land Rover, and announced a joint-venture with the group in 2019 -- and Geely, the Chinese giant whose portfolio of brands includes Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Proton, London Taxi Company, Terrafugia, and half of Smart, plus a sizeable, nearly-10% stake in Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler. Geely told Bloomberg it hasn't heard from Tata or JLR. BMW and Tata remained silent. While a partnership with someone looks likely considering the significant hurdles faced by JLR, its parent company has categorically ruled out selling the duo it purchased from Ford for $2.3 billion in 2008.
