See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This Land Rover is in excellent condition. Since I got this truck 3 years ago, it has been garage kept and cared for. I replaced the old carpet with a rubber diamond plate flooring. This truck recently got a new fuel pump and runs great. Sadly, I have never spent one second in this truck offroad. Just the streets of Chicago for me."

 "Great truck!" 
 "Dude, that is awesome!"
 "Wow man, cool Jeep" (Defender fans should get the joke).

I am sorry to see this truck go.  Every time I drive it I get compliments.   My girlfriend drives it and has a minimum of 5 guys stop her and ask her about her truck (yes, it gets old). 

This truck has everything:  ARB Deluxe brush guard, ENgage 4X4 Land Rover certified winch,  PIAA  fog lights with internal controls, 4 Hella lights for the top including all the mounting brackets already installed (I had to take them off to fit in my parking garage), Kenwood stereo with CD player and Ipod dock, hands free bluetooth phone connection, and new Kenwood speakers.  I have had this truck for 3 years and have (regrettably) never taken it off-roading.    

When I got the truck, it had worn out, horrible carpet on the inside.  I stripped it all out and replaced it with rubber diamond plate floor panels.  It is easy to clean and the floor panels look the same as they did when I got them installed.  The driver's seat has a small tear in the seat and you will notice in the picture that there are only 3 rear jump seats instead of 4.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
