You're looking a really strong, low-mileage Disco II, where all the typical maintenance issues have already been addressed.  In the past two weeks this truck has had:


Full transmission fluid replacement
Full brake fluid flush
Full coolant flush
Engine oil & filter replaced
New air filter
New power steering pump & fluid, plus new O-rings on the lines

And within the past six months, it's also had:

Throttle body coolant adapter plate replaced
Fuel vapor evaporative purge valve replaced
New pollen/dust air filter element under the hood (the long skinny one that most people ignore)
New oxygen sensor (Sensor 1, Bank 1; the other 3 all test out fine)
Replacement neutral safety switch (rivets failed on the first one, allowing water and gunk to get inside)
New 4-wire trailer harness adapter from Atlantic British
New retainer pin on driver's door strap
Various new finisher caps on wiper cowl & front seat armrests
In-dash vehicle-specific phone mount from ProClip USA -- you can buy a fitted cradle for your particular phone
New latching fitting for under-hood battery box lid
New press-pins for rear gate trim panel, and repair to moisture barrier underneath
New rear wiper arm
New wiper blades on all 3 wipers
Replacement gaiter/boot for handbrake
A replacement OEM in-dash CD player

It also has an add-on Bluetooth adapter from Grom Audio, which provides support for Bluetooth hands-free telephone use, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a standard aux-in audio connection and separate dedicated USB charging connector.  Note:  this replaces the factory CD changer, which is still mounted under the passenger seat but is disconnected.  

The truck comes with two correct OEM remote keys, one of which is brand new and hasn't been used since I bought it.  All owner's manuals are also included in their little pouch.

It has the correct OEM front and rear rubber floor mats, and a new rear rubber cargo mat from Weathertech.  Tires are Falken on/off-road, in good condition.  Factory tools are all present and in good condition, including the storage pouch, which has no tears or zipper damage.  I suspect most of the tools haven't been used.

The car runs strong, all the necessary OBD2 system monitors test successfully, there is no evidence of head gasket problems, and every item I previously noticed needed attention has been addressed.  

On the interior, the headliner is excellent, the seats are excellent, and I added the OEM heated seat switches and trim panel just a few months ago, so those work great as well.  All the power functions (seats, windows, mirrors, sunroofs) work great and at full/normal speed.  All in-dash switches, lights, and functions work 100%.

The correct factory retractable rear cargo cover is present, and I also have a hard-copy factory shop manual, two types of touch-up paint (a pen and a small spray can, both correct Oslo Blue), and an assortment of additional emblems and trim caps as spares.  For a bit of fun, I have Union Jack valve stem caps on the truck as well.  

SPECIAL INCENTIVE FOR BUY-IT-NOW!

If you hit Buy It Now, or the truck ultimately sells via regular auction at or above the BIN price ($9999), the winning bidder will receive the following additional items:

1)  Crossbars for factory roof rack
2)  Rear hitch-mounted aluminum cargo carrier, able to carry 500 lbs, plus a folding ramp if you wanted to load a lawnmower, wheelchair, or whatever else you have
3)  Rear hitch-mounted folding double bike-rack
4)  Awesome Smithsonian National Zoo vinyl-cling rear window sticker

That's easily another $600 worth of accessories.  

To be very clear:  none of these items will be included unless the truck sells AT OR ABOVE the original Buy It Now price.  If the truck is sent via transporter, rather than picked up in person, the rear seats will be folded down and these items will be stored in the back of the truck.  Neither the carrier nor the bike rack fit cleanly unless you first remove the spare tire, but they are just fine after that.  I will not give credit or otherwise discount the price in lieu of receiving those items; if you don't want them, I will keep them, but the price will stay the same.  

If the truck sells above reserve but below the BIN price, and you want any of these items, I will add them for $200 each (for items 1-3, or 4 if you insist), just let me know which ones you want.

Truck is still being driven occasionally so mileage will increase a small amount.

Jaguar to sell all-electric cars by 2030, and six electric Land Rovers coming in next five years

Mon, Feb 15 2021

Jaguar is making a big transition to become an electric-only car company. The switchover is meant to kickoff in 2025, and by 2030, Jaguar says 100% of its vehicle sales will be of electric models. Land Rover is taking a similar route, but to a lesser extent. The British off-roading brand says that it will introduce six pure electric variants in the next five years, with eyes on 60% of its sales being of electric models by 2030. Its first all-electric model will arrive in 2024, JLR said. An Automotive News report cites CEO Thierry Bollore, saying he expects "almost zero" production of cars with internal combustion engines by 2039, making that the theoretical end date of Land Rover vehicles with ICEs.  JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said on Monday the Jaguar brand will lead the way with a fully-electric model range built on a brand-new electric platform. The Land Rover EVs are to be built on a separate electric vehicle architecture to provide for "two clear unique personalities." The Land Rover EVs are said to be finding homes on both the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) and Electric Modular Architecture (EMA). Both support combustion engine layouts and full EV layouts, but the latter is said to be more biased toward EVs and to exclusively support "advanced electrified ICE." Both brands will be taking advantage of technology from within the Tata Group (JLR's owners) to make this transition happen. There's limited information on the future of certain models for the time being, but Jaguar did say that its previously-planned XJ replacement will no longer have a place in the brand's lineup. That said, Jaguar says the nameplate might stick around, with the assumption it could be used on an all-new future EV. Additionally, Automotive News reports that Jaguar will transition away from SUV-style vehicles, citing Bollore — the theory being that Land Rover takes over and completely fills that space in the future. We'll be wondering about what will become of the F-Pace and E-Pace. Our biggest Jaguar question concerns the F-Type, though. Will we get a fully electric version of the sports car in the future? Jaguar didn't address it, but we certainly hope so. JLR said that as it electrifies its model range, it will keep all three of its British plants open. But Bollore, who took over as chief executive in September, said the carmaker's Castle Bromwich plant in central England would focus on "non-production" activities in the long term.

Jaguar Land Rover undergoes $3.2 billion turnaround plan as sales slump

Thu, Nov 1 2018

MUMBAI — India's Tata Motors on Wednesday announced a turnaround plan for its luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover, which has been hit hard by trade tensions between China and the U.S., low demand for diesel cars in Europe and worries over Brexit. Under "Project Charge," Tata Motors said it plans to cut costs and improve cash flows at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) by 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) over 18 months. JLR also plans to launch several new vehicles, including the Jaguar I-Pace and the new Range Rover Defender over the next few years and will offer a hybrid or full-electric version of all its models by 2020. "Together with our ongoing product offensive and calibrated investment plans, these efforts will lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth," JLR CEO Ralf Speth said after Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss. JLR has trimmed its pre-tax profit expectations for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and expects to break even, Speth said, versus an earlier target of profit growth. As part of the turnaround plan, JLR will first focus on cash-saving "quick wins" like reducing non-product investments and speeding up asset sales, Tata Motors said in an investor presentation. In the near term it will improve efficiency in areas including purchasing and material cost, manufacturing, logistics and people, and will focus on strategic and non-core asset sales. JLR has already reduced the number of production days at its UK plants in Castle Bromwich and Solihull. The company said in its presentation it has saved 300 million pounds since it initiated the turnaround plan six weeks ago and is working on 500 ideas for the future. Tata Motors reported a loss of 10.49 billion rupees ($141.9 million) for the July-September quarter, compared with a profit of 24.83 billion rupees in the year-ago period. That was worse than the estimate of a loss of 2.40 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data. JLR reported a loss of 101 million pounds during the quarter and its margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell 130 basis points to 9.9 percent. Retail sales of its Jaguar sedans and Land Rover sport utility vehicles (SUVs) fell 13.2 percent to about 130,000 units, hurt particularly by tariff changes in China and escalating trade tensions. Demand in China remained muted even after the country cut import tariffs for cars and car parts to 15 percent for most vehicles from 25 percent from July.

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus

Tue, Oct 27 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.
