Selling for no reserve… Meet Big Red 1997 Defender 90 NAS soft top #1232 finished in rare Monza Red. Only 180 models were offered in this amazing color. Highly desirable last year Defender 90 automatic transmission, factory 4.0 V8 and factory AC. See the actual factory window sticker in the pics below. Originally delivered from the Land Rover factory to Fields Motors Cars of FL, Inc. in Longwood, FL. Then sold and shipped to California. She has lived a great life in Southern and Northern California. First sold and owned to an IT professional in Glendale, California until 2005 and subsequently owned San Francisco, California. Car is currently garaged in San Francisco. Chassis and body is free from rust or rot. The car was very well maintained throughout its history. See many pics below. May take a moment to load. Over 100 photos. First thing you take notice of is Big Reds stance as she stands tall and proud with her suspension lift. The brand spanking new BF Goodrich MT 33” tires with white letters complement her look. I decided to leave the blue letter dye on temporarily to really emphasize how new they really are. Freshly installed last week. Secondly the factory Land Rover hardtop is a great add on that is very tough to find these days. Its been part of the reason for keeping the elements out of the interior of this Defender. Another really useful feature that is a must when off roading is the ARB front bumper with Warn 8k lb high performance winch. Off road lamps will help light the path should you wish to wheel at night. One should never go wheeling without the proper accessories and this one has it all. Big Red is equipped with ARB lockers for front and rear and air compressor. ARB rocker switches centrally located on the dash. Also, there are rock sliders/running boards to help you enter into the cabin. On board CB radio will help you to communicate with other fellow drivers on your next group ride. Defenderistas that have been waiting for a clean California rust free Monza Red should be excited to finally meet Big Red. Her typically rust prone areas are squeaky clean and awesome. Found it easier to give condition breakdowns below. Exterior condition: No rusty bulkhead, No rusty cross member, No rust door bottoms, No rust floors, No rusty tailgate. No rust on frame. No rusty hinges. None None None! Paint is very good but has some oxidation on tops of front fenders- see pics. Easy repairable by doing a re-spray of fenders or installing some metal step plates that would cover the oxidation. The body panels still have original weld stamps markings. Factory hardtop has some cracks at seams from removing and re installing. Fiberglass patches were performed to preserve the top and keep water out. Interior condition: Original seats are original and in great shape. Rear bench seat very good. Rubber original Land Rover Floor mat is very good. Just had the armrest recovered with custom padding and stitching for comfortable arm resting :) New rubber oem Land Rover floor mats. Mechanical condition: All work performed Jan 2014 with records. Complete valve job and resurface head. New head gasket set and bolts New hydraulic lifters New Radiator oem $800 New fuel pump and fuel filter New high performance tune up kit (plugs, wires, etc) New thermostat New water pump New rear brakes New tires BFG Mud Terrain T/A 285/75/16 Defects/cosmetic issues: Odometer reads 32,864 currently. The Carfax history does show that car has a mileage inconsistency. Many defenders have been plagued with odometer failures and thus causing the odometers stop and required replacement to repair the broken odo. I believe this to be the case with this Defender as this is what was explained to me by previous owner. Car has been stored for the past 6 years and not driven. The Carfax report reads the miles on 7/2008 at 31,240. The odometer is currently operating and functional. Today reads 32,864. Gear shifter plastic slider trim broken, passenger front door has dent at top of door, AC not working, radio turns on/off intermittently. Closing Big Red is a real pleasure to drive. She starts right up and runs excellent and strong. The transmission shifts smooth and crisp. The car is very presentable and would be a perfect car to drive daily or restore to top notch condition. The body is rust free and hard to find that on a Defender 90. Clean title in hand. Please email for more info. |

It's a V8 party! Lexus IS 500, Cadillac Escalade and more | Autoblog Podcast #667
Fri, Feb 26 2021In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. It's all V8s all the time this week, starting with the Land Rover Defender V8 unveiling, Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance debut and pricing announcement on the Jeep Wrangler 392. Next, they move on to what they've been driving. Spoiler alert: That means more V8 talk. Zac has been driving the Cadillac Escalade with the 6.2-liter V8 and BMW M550i with its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. Greg and Zac take a pause from the V8 theme by discussing their shared time in our long-term Acura TLX. From this, they segue into a "Spend My Money" feature about garage lifts to finish the show.

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip
Thu, Jul 20 2023J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."Â Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
