Arizona  and  California   are 
the best places   to buy a car from! Our great weather year around    helps keep vehicle condition excellent. We are dry year around so there  is   no corrosion from moisture, salted ocean air or salted roads. Or a vehicle   that  has been partially or completely submerged in  contaminated  water  or mud. These   conditions  can wreak  havoc on  cars not just   aesthetically  but more  seriously mechanically & electronically.


Take that into account when buying a east coast car or a car that  has been exposed to the seasons. And salted or graveled roads or a flood.  There is usually a reason that  car is being offered at a discounted  value.

Many dealers are not  able   to resist the larger profit opportunity of buy one hoping  to pass it   along  to the unsuspecting customer.

 

Our mission is simple we  offer far above average condition cars.

That are hand  picked not bought based on the lowest price out there for what ever the   reason   might be.

We search high & dry  for the best value available. We take into consideration Condition,     Availability, Mileage, Rare optional equipment,  Color  combinations, Modification qualities, Limited production runs. All things  taken into consideration as they all add value to the  vehicle.

We also check  for active factory warranty and post expiration dates and mileage   expirations limits.


We also investigate title status & history to insure a clean and clear lien  free title with no negative announcements.

We strive to  offer the best cars possible  by doing so we hope to maintain an excellent  reputation and keep our repeat business growing with every  sale.

 We encourage you to review our feedback to ensure you are  doing business with a reputable  & valued eBay seller.

EXTRAORDINARY  CONDITION!

Finished in glistening Santorini Black Metallic.
Complemented by a luxurious NON SMOKERS fully optioned Ivory supple leather with  Jet black piping and Piano Black wood trim interior.



This stunning Range Rover will make anyone a Land Rover convert! The comfort  rivals or exceeds even the most rarified and expensive ultra-luxury vehicles!  The build quality and materials used on the interior are superb, from the supple  leather to the piano black wood trim and the buttons and knobs surrounding the  intuitive touch-screen navigation. It really is a special feeling to drive a  vehicle when everything comes together this well.

Absolutely incredible vehicle - something you have to experience to believe!

 Fully appointed !

This 2009 Range Rover HSE is powered by a Supercharged 4.2-liter  V8 that produces 400 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic  transmission with manual shift control is standard. A permanent four-wheel-drive  system is also standard along with low-range gearing and nearly 11 inches of  maximum ground clearance. The standard Terrain Response system allows the driver  to customize powertrain, suspension and electronic stability and traction  systems to best handle five predetermined off-road conditions. Maximum towing  capacity when properly equipped is 7,700 pounds. The Supercharged returns an EPA  estimated 12 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined.

Safety

The Range Rovers comes equipped with powerful Brembo brakes, traction control,  stability control, hill descent control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain  airbags, front-seat whiplash protection and a driver knee airbag. Front and rear  parking sensors and a rearview camera.

Built for the bush  but bought for bragging rights, Range Rovers are more likely to be found in  Miami Beach or Scottsdale AZ than Mozambique. Acknowledging that reality, the 2009 Range Rover  employs a unibody design and has a self-adjusting air suspension that monitors  vehicle loads and road conditions. When driven on pavement, the Range Rover  feels stable and comfortable, with good steering feel -- a tribute to its BMW  origins. In terms of off-road ability, it still has few equals, thanks to its  generous ground clearance and wheel articulation.

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents

Tue, Dec 22 2020

WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar.  Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.

2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland

Wed, Jun 8 2016

Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
