2003 Land Rover Discovery Se Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

US $4,500.00
Year:2003 Mileage:78254 Color: Color
Location:

Woodland Hills, California, United States

Land Rover Discovery Fully loaded, seats 7, and A/C is ice cold. 
The Vehicle was formally a Strip/theft with a "Salvage Title", however all interior components have been replaced.

Note* The paint is fading and cracked on the hood of the vehicle, the images used did not display the fading fully.  Otherwise, the paint is in good to very-good shape. 

No Reserve Auction.   Please note that I am selling this Car "As-Is" with no warranty stated or implied whatsoever. 

The car is currently registered in California and has been for the past 11-yrs and has passed smog recently.  It does drive; but, it will need some work to make it right.  I bought this on eBay and drove it home, then off it went to my mechanic on a flatbed (in the photo) who has now returned the verdict below.   

 

Here is the rundown after careful and professional diagnosis by my mechanic today:  Drive shaft bolts need tightening; keyless lock needs replacing (currently the locks work manually); The engine leaks oil (what Rover doesn’t) but, the engine is in good shape and has LOW ORIGINAL miles on it.  The left window motor works; but, it likely will need replaced soon.  It needs brake pads and rotors all the way around (the factory original rotors are out of tolerance to machine down any further); however the brakes are not grinding--all 4 need replaced to make it right.  Left tire needs a plug (we found a nail in it) and there is a leak on the right (passenger-side) shock.  Also, the front bumper cover plastic has cracked due to the previous owner stepping on it. 

 

AutoCheck examined the reported odometer readings for this 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE (SALTY16403A786315) and no indication of an odometer rollback or tampering was found.

 

Accident Free!  There have been no accidents reported to Auto Check for this 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE (SALTY16403A786315).  The body of this rover is straight and lines are tight. 

 

The seats are in good shape with no tears or rips.  This also has the 2 rear leather jump seats in great condition as well.  I am looking for less of a project at this time due to conflicting priorities. 

Winning bid will pay $500 deposit for vehicle within 24-hours after auction ends with full payment within 5-days.  Buyer must make arrangements for pickup in Woodland Hills, California within 5-days of auction close.  Buyer is fully responsible for shipping/transportation cost.  

GOOD LUCK!


I retain full right to remove the post from Ebay at any time as I am listing it locally as well.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar 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.

Going high-tech, the 4x4 way

Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil 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.
