California Rust-free Clean 2000 Land Rover Discovery Dii Se One Orig Owner on 2040-cars

            Remarkably clean 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II. This is the second year of the Discovery Series II, SE model. It is fairly loaded with all Power amenities except DVD system. This Discovery also has dual Power sunroofs ( both work fine and DO NOT leak), roof bars and the factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed). No engine issues or other drama. The powertrain runs GREAT. Additionally, it has fairly rare GRAY leather upholstery interior ( as opposed to the common tan), which offsets it very nicely with its original burgundy factory finish. ZERO RUST.

I believe in full disclosure to the best of my abilities. I purchased the DII from the original owner for the SD roof rack, which is a rare option that most people actually dislike. I have uninstalled it ( as most people are concerned about height clearances anyway), and I am listing it back for sale for a bit less than what I paid for it.  Therefore, it was NOT my mom's car, my wife's who drove it on the weekends or my grandma who drove it to church. I believe in being honest and upfront. 
The original owner was to provide me with an extensive pdf file of most of its service and repair history ( which is nice to have); I will be glad to pass it on when he turns it over to me.

This Land Rover is and has been a 100% rust-free CALIFORNIA CAR all of its life. It has been locally owned since purchased brand-new at Land Rover of San Jose in the south bay, and owned by the same person since. It was tapped once in the rear bumper area by a minivan ( it should be shown in the CARFAX report as well), and being still a fairly new Land Rover at that time, the insurance company paid a ridiculous amount to settle claim, hence it carries salvage title ( as it occurs when an insurance company pays a significant amount based on the value of the vehicle).

There are NO other accidents, repaints, or anything other than normal driving conditions around the Bay area, where it has always lived. There are NO signs or indication of damage anywhere on the body, other than the small crack on the plastic. Moreover, this Landie runs VERY well, tracks smoothly and drives very nicely both in town and in the highway.

All Power accessories work well, to include its ICE-COLD Air Conditioning system, both Power sunroofs, all Power windows, both Power seats, the cruise control, and all instruments and lights. There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or HDC lights turned off or reset). The DII has 167K original miles on the strong, reliable 4.0L engine. NO 4.6L engine nightmares here.

In addition, this one is also equipped with  the optional ACE  handling package option (Active Cornering Enhancement, an electronically controlled hydraulic anti-roll bar system, which reduced cornering roll).
It is noted by the original owner that there are extensive service records including recent maintenance and service going back to 2000, but as they were not present at the time of the listing, I am not stating their availability. Should he send them to me, I will gladly include them.

This DII had a new set of MICHELIN Latitude radials installed last year; they have at least 80% tread left.

Considering its vintage, This Discovery II is remarkably clean, and the photos do not do it justice~! The 2000 SE is one of the best years to own. It is turn-key, WITHOUT the usual head-gasket issues nor overheating, and it will make a great traveler or off-road trekker. In addition, it has had a full brake service performed about a year ago, and all-new radial tires in December.

The interior upholstery is in remarkable shape, with NO rips, tears or splits of the leather. The dash is mint, with no cracks or weathering. The carpets and all door panels are very clean, to include the rear cargo area. RARE gray leather interior upholstery, which offsets very nicely with its glossy factory burgundy finish. Absolutely ZERO RUST throughout the whole car.


Feel free to EM or call with pertinent questions or inquiries. I am a private seller, not some car dealer outfit, a used-car car lot, and MOST definitely not one of those sketchy types selling cars in a parking lot.

I have spent over 20 years in this great country's military and have owned Land Rovers of various types and vintage for nearly 35 years. I am well versed on all the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this DII as a VERY solid, straight and completely rust-free example of a Discovery. This Landie sits quietly in the driveway at my home, in company of my three other Rovers.

                     The Land Rover has always been a one-owner Land Rover DII since new, and has always been here locally. Honest CARFAX REPORT and original-ownership since new. NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition reflects it.
Overall, a straight, good-running Discovery for a modest, fair price. Needs nothing and runs and drives very well. Serious inquiries please. 

* I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the end of the auction, should an offer or a BUT-IT-NOW offer present itself.


I Shall be glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Discovery.


              Should you be the winning bidder, we would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to our local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Upon receipt of payment, we will overnight the title, registration card, bill of sale and all service records to the winning bidder for your protection.


       Thank you for your interest~!

Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.

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.

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.
