1998 Land Rover Discovery Le7 124k Miles Fully Serviced Super Clean!!! on 2040-cars

Introduction:

If you’ve been looking for that well-rounded D1, this is the one!  I have a lot to say about this truck and I know that all of the information will be pleasing to prospective buyers.  This truck is at the top of its class with an exceptionally appointed luxury package, service profile, and popular color.  I am a Land Rover Master technician with my own independent shop and I pride myself on the buck stopping here with all of the nonsense associated with these cars.  I have had a blast over the last 15 years owning them, servicing them and even racing them and I strive every day to share that positive experience with my clients and new customers.  This truck is no different.  It came to me from long-time clients who finally bought an LR4 and they didn't want to trade this in to the dealership.  This truck has years of meticulous servicing and with my eyes on it before sending it to eBay, you can trust its everything you want out of a vehicle at the top of its class. Clean California title in hand.

Driveability, Performance & Operation:

I can’t say enough about how great this truck drives.  It is a ROCKET SHIP.  It handles crisp with no wobbles or wandering.   The engine purs like a kitten with no ticks, rattles or knocks and when needed, it stops on a dime!  It shifts like velvet without you being able to feel it and honestly, it so smooth you don’t even hear the truck running – even at 90mph on the freeway. 

All multi-function control options work perfect.  Windows and Sunroof’s work perfect.  AC and Heat work perfect. Rear Air works perfect.  The upgraded KENWOOD Audio system with integrated iPod hook-up works perfect and has AMAZING concert quality sound. The seat leather is in ASTONISHINGLY great shape – soft and new like in feel and appearance in the front, rear and even the jump seats!  All plastic’s and panels are clean and unbroken, the wood is dark and overall, the interior looks great and even smells like a new car because of the new headliner and thorough detail I put it through.  There are no engine light warnings of any kind and all illuminate at bulb check key position – meaning – no hidden problems because no bulbs have been pulled!!!

Who Is this car for?  Anyone really.  It can make a great 1^st car, off-road build platform for the off-road enthusiast, an awesome family car or even a summer-home guest vehicle.  Its reliable, safe, distinctive, clean, and a total pleasure to drive.

She is a used truck and resembles a loved vehicle on the road for 15 years.  Interior is an A+ and the exterior is an A-. The paint, as in the pictures waxes up great, but is still subject to minimal road dings and fade.  The fade being localized central to the roof and hood.

Perspective:

This truck has received about $5000 of retail servicing from my own hands at the shop.  As far as Rovers go, like I’ve said, I have done EVERYTHING possible to make It a reliable family car.   That said, it’s still a used car and its new owner should expect to enjoy a quality vehicle, but still be prepared to service it regularly as needed.  I am not a dealer and cannot offer a warranty, the truck is being sold as is.  That said, I have a handshake no warranty warranty.  What does that mean?  I LOVE these trucks and have had the time of my life making a career out of sharing that passion with others… I want you to love this thing too – so if something goes wrong within a reasonable amount of time, I typically have everything for these trucks on the shelf… Alternators, switches, mirrors, sensors, on and on...  If something fails, I am happy to send you what I have if/when available.  I have done my best to represent this truck completely and accurately and I encourage you to ask ANY and all questions.  

Most recently, I sold my beloved 92 (see my completed listings) to a great guy who flew in and drove it home to Minnesota without any issues.  He did it with his girlfriend and had a blast and the last I heard, he was showing it off to another jealous family member who owns an LR3.  I say this because 90% of the trucks I sell are driven home – more often than not across country – and in 2 cases, to Central America.  Additionally, a fellow who just recently purchased and 88 Range Rover Classic (see listings) from me is on his way to TIERRA DEL FUEGO!!! Meaning, he is taking one of my vehicles to the ends of the Earth.  Another Range Rover, recently went to Russia.  As we speak, 2 other recent restorations are on a cargo ship to the South Pacific to a world class collector.  That's the kind of work I put into each and every truck I restore.  My vehicles are WORLD PROVEN.  PERIOD. 

Payment: So many ways to do it.  You can pay cash, You can send a check – once cleared, Ill overnight the title.  Whatever we work out to make it convenient…  Happy to discuss with winning bidder.

Lastly, there is NO RESERVE so bid to win!!!  On that note, please understand that the winning bid is the price of the truck... it does NOT enable you to negotiate a lower price or different terms of sale so PLEASE - bid within what you are prepared to pay.  Also... while I may feel that this truck is aces, you may want to light it on fire.  Everyone has a different opinion so the time to discern for yourself is NOW.  Not afterwards.  Ebay offers a 3rd party inspection service for buyers so please utilize this if you feel necessary.  Purchase of the truck implies total understanding and satisfaction.

Thanks for the interest and as always, HAPPY ROVERING!

 - please note the picture of the CLEAN California title in the upper right hand corner of the title under vehicle history.  Additionally, I have run the carfax and she is a TWO OWNER vehicle only with an autocheck score of 77 which puts it way beyond the normal range of 16-39.  The eBay note about a salvage title is WRONG as the carfax is perfect on this gal. I am happy to email the report in its entirety to anyone interested and ill be scanning it to put it up in the picture section as well.
