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 builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?

Mon, Aug 14 2017

From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.
