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.
Service Profile:
This truck was a winner to begin with but I went ahead and took care of ALL of the major service points so that it would be a reliable performer for years to come. Here’s what I just did:
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 1st 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! On Jan-10-14 at 18:17:56 PST, seller added the following information: - yes registration and smog are current - 124K original miles. typo in service listing due to fat fingers pounding away... ah well..! - and for those of you on asking on the east coast - NO RUST!!! happy to text more cell phone pix if necessary. front clip, jambs, arches, bulkhead and pans all factory fresh. On Jan-10-14 at 21:24:04 PST, seller added the following information: - 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. |

Jaguar Land Rover remains bullish on diesels
Wed, Sep 30 2015Despite Volkswagen's recent diesel scandal, Jaguar Land Rover is pushing ahead with ambitious plans to roll out the technology across most of its lineup in the coming years. Jaguar and Land Rover will add diesel engine variants to every model in their lineups, except for the Jaguar F-Type sports car. Land Rover launched the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with available 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesels, and together they have sold more than 330 units so far in September, their first month on sale in the United States. JLA officials say they've seen no fallout from VW's emissions problem and are adamant their diesels meet EPA standards. "That has been our strategy, and it is not changing," Joe Eberhardt, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO, told the Automotive Press Association on Wednesday in Detroit. "You have to deal with the situations as they arrive. We are confident of diesel." Jaguar will get another diesel next year from its Ingenium engine family, which will initially be sold in the XE sedan and the F-Pace crossover. It's a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit and makes 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. A JLR spokesman said the Ingenium has not yet gone through the EPA certification process, and the diesel-powered models will arrive in the fall. Jaguar also plans to add diesel engines to the flagship XJ and XF sedans. Land Rovers, including the Discovery and Evoque, will also get diesel options, and the company estimates the technology will offer 20- to 30-percent improvements in fuel economy, depending on the vehicle. Eberhardt said it is "too soon to tell" if the diesel market will be weighed down by Volkswagen's situation. The German automaker admitted to cheating on emissions tests to make its diesel-powered cars appear to run cleaner than they actually do in real-world situations. The ensuing outrage forced longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn to step down and prompted a reorganization of the company, which faces legal and regulatory action around the world. Still, Eberhardt maintains JLR is "very confident" in its diesels, which are part of its strategy to grow sales around the world. Land Rover has experienced rapid growth under the ownership of Indian conglomerate, Tata Motors, while Jaguar is set to revitalize its lineup with new entries like the XE and F-Pace to reach a broader market segment.
This Ford F-150 might have a Land Rover turbodiesel V6
Thu, Dec 17 2015Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
