You are bidding on a 2008 Range Rover with a great body that was flooded and is not in running order.  The vehicle has a very clean body and interior, and many new modules and parts.  It’s white with beige leather.  Odometer shows 43,700 miles.  The truck was manufactured in June 2008, so it’s a very late 2008 - almost a 2009. VIN is SALME15418A293331

** THIS IS NOT A RUNNING VEHICLE.  IT IS OFFERED AS IS WITH WATER DAMAGE **

From what I can see the body on this truck is in great shape.  It looks all original to me and it’s free of damage with the exception of some minor bumper chips.  The car has good wheels and tires.  It’s all stock.

The interior is nice and clean though there is some corrosion visible under seats and in corners.  There is no significant wear or damage to any of the seating surfaces.

Someone bought this car and tried to fix it before being overwhelmed by the job.  They purchased a new engine control unit ($2,000), a new body control unit ($2,000) and a new immobilizer.   The car was also fitted with a new instrument cluster from another vehicle.  All those parts function but are now coded with a different VIN which would have to be cleared before they could be used in a vehicle.  Windows, door locks, and all the hood latches, stuff like that work.  The vehicle can be locked up with the key and the windows are closed, so it's secure and watertight if parked outside.  All the body sheet metal looks really good - doors don't have any damage.  Fenders, quarters, etc all good.  Windshield even looks new.  Complex electronics is mostly inoperative.  The car was flooded to at least dash top level.

The seller purchased 8 more used modules (radio, transfer case, and other systems) which may or may not be usable in another 2006-2009 Range Rover.  These are included with the vehicle, along with most of the original modules that were swapped out.  We do not have the original flooded ECU or the original instrument cluster.  The cluster in the car seems to work but I do not know of a way to recode miles and VIN for use in another vehicle.

This would be a great truck for someone who has a rolled or heavily crashed Range Rover.  It’s got most of what you need to put a rig like that back on the road.  If you have an early L3222 Range Rover I think the front and rear of this vehicle could be used to update a 2003-5 truck but you should check an interchange guide for specifics.  I offer the car as it, as water damaged salvage.   

If you are a body man you know the value of the parts on this truck. Flooding can ruin mechanicals and electrics but the body, sheet metal, plastic, and all the sealed systems tend to be unaffected.  On a vehicle like this, that adds up to a lot. A good nose or tail is close to ten grand for these cars, and when you add an interior, radiator, AC condenser, wheels, and whatever else you can use the truck is a bargain for someone like that.  All the plastic trim is complete and undamaged. The seats look near-new and they have the fancier contrast piping.

According to Land Rover this car was last serviced in August 2012 at 43,000 miles. That's the last recorded mileage and the last time it was known to be on the road.  It was sold to our client – with water damage – in the fall of 2013.  

The car is available for inspection at our Springfield offices, Monday-Friday from 8-5.  Robison Service is one of the leading independent Land Rover specialists in the eastern United States.  Read more about us online through our RobisonService website or blog.  We are an authorized Bosch Car Service center specializing in Land Rover.  

This vehicle rolls, but does not start or run.  It will have to be towed out of here.  You can shift it into park to secure it on a trailer.  If you want to inspect the car, please do so BEFORE bidding.  If you have questions call John Robison at 413-785-1665 or email through the ebay system.  

We are a Massachusetts licensed motor vehicle dealer and repair facility.  Buyer will owe 6.25% MA sales tax, and there is a $129 title and document processing fee.  Please note that you will owe MA sales tax even if you ship the truck out of state because it's sold off our lot here, and must be picked up in person.  It's not a mail-order item. The only exception to this sales tax rule is for licensed dealers who present a valid, current dealer license and state issued tax certificate.  These fees are in addition to the bid price for the car.  We are not selling subject to financing.  Please make sure you have funds lined up before you bid.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings

Mon, Jun 15 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
