I have decided to sell my Land Rover Discovery. It's a series I not II so it has the real off-road frame (looks like structural I-beams) and drive train from before they "mom-ed" it. I've been used to American cars my whole life, but when I found this in Army Green with a really hard to find 5 speed, I had to have it. I also liked that these Rovers are in full time 4wd (all wheel drive) with the option to manually shift in to part time, diff lock 4x4. The problem is that it's my daily driver and I'd like to get something with better (30+mpg) gas mileage. This Rover is super clean inside and out.
I would not be exaggerating to say that it is the nicest, cleanest, Disco I've ever seen. In my search for this one, I came across train wreck after train wreck. People just didn't take care of them at all. But this one doesn't leak oil like a sieve as nearly all do In fact it doesn't leave puddles at all. There is the tiniest amount of surface rust in the rear door jams (nothing compared to typical Rover rust, and I applied rust-blocker right away) and none underneath at all! The rare 5 Speed Trans seems unstoppable. The body has the straightest lines you'll find on one of these and there are no dents in the metal. There is a 2" lift from the previous owner and the thing feels like a tank off road and in snow. Probably as safe as a tank too. And on the flip side, she's been on road trips and rides very nicely on the highway as well! Starts, runs, drives, stops great every single time.
It has brand new:
-Tires
-Muffler/Exhaust
-Battery
-Fuel Pump
-Wiper Motor
-Heater Switch
-Rear Power Window Switches
-Rear Driver Window Motor
-Rear Wiper Arm and good new blades all around
-$2000 ARB winch-ready front bumper
-Radio head unit- Pro installed, expensive on Land Rovers, but I already did it so you don't have to!
There is a small amount of clear missing on the rear passenger door as shown, the paint itself is fine and there is zero rust in the area. The dash lights/dimmer switch no longer works. Vibrates when accelerating hard. Again, least amount of rust you'll find on one of these!! Frame is completely clean!
Thank You!!
~~ $500.00 deposit required within 24 hours of purchase. NO REFUNDS, be sure of what you are bidding before you bid. Full payment due in 7 days. Rover will be re-listed and again I will offer no refunds.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
Jaguar Land Rover reveals Bond cars [w/video]
Tue, Sep 15 2015We interrupt your regularly scheduled Frankfurt Motor Show coverage to bring you something far cooler. Jaguar Land Rover has officially introduced the cars it's lending to the latest James Bond film, Spectre. There's not much that wasn't previously covered as part JLR's February 2015 release, although there are some comments from the stars, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos. At the very forefront of the British brand's charge is the Jaguar C-X75, the stillborn concept that set hearts aflutter with its handsome looks and its innovative turbine-powered drivetrain. According to Jaguar Land Rover, the orange supercar will be piloted by baddie Dave Bautista as part of an enormous chase scene throughout Rome. Meanwhile, Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris in her second Bond flick, will pilot the blacked-out Defender. For those that remember Skyfall, Miss Moneypenny spent most of the film's pre-title sequence tearing through Istanbul, Turkey behind the wheel of a silver Defender. Joining the Defender is the most powerful vehicle Land Rover has ever produced. The new Range Rover Sport SVR will show up wearing a menacing black paint job and featuring some extra lighting on both its roof and in its bumper. It's not clear who will be driving the 550-horsepower SVR, but in the photos released by JLR, it's shown trading places with a pair of Defenders as they rampage through the Austrian snow. Check out the photos of the vehicles below. You'll find both studio stuff and some set photos. There's also a full press release from JLR, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos.
