Thanks for checking out our 2004 Land Rover Discovery SE7. While you are at this listing to check out the truck, let me introduce myself, because knowing who is selling a vehicle is often time as important as the car or truck itself.

My name is Kevin Helder, and I am the owner of Peoples Car Company Inc. based out of Grandville Michigan. Peoples Car (English translation of Volks Wagen) has been in business since 1999, focusing on European autos, primarily VW and Audi, but inclusive of Rover, BMW and Volvo. As a sole proprietor, I focus on quality, not quantity. For me, what I sell is a representation of myself.

I have chosen this business because I love cars and people, and immensely enjoy matching the right vehicle with the right person. That is another reason I focus on the quality, as I want every purchase to be a perfect match with a happy ending. You will find an accurate description of any vehicle I am selling, and you will notice that I have 100% positive feedback. I live by the "Golden Rule" for many reasons, one of which is I have gone to look at vehicles that are described inaccurately, only to find out when I get there that besides the year, make, model and VIN, the vehicle bears no resemblance to the owner's description. I refuse to do that, so you will find that imperfections are fully disclosed. That said, I am human, so there are times when I miss something, but that is the exception to the rule.

Enough about me...now let me tell you more about the Disco. I will give you a verbal walk around and plenty of photos (click on link to view: http://www.vuvox.com/collage/detail/068853c9ec), so you know exactly what to expect, should you be the proud owner of this truck:

EXTERIOR: The paint has an exceptional luster, there is no rust, and only a few cosmetic imperfections. They include a crack in the left front bumper corner, the front bumper slightly pushed up, door dings on the right rear door, a scratch on the left rear quarter, and a small crease in the rear door (all are photographed). There are also 2 scratches in the rear glass from the rear wiper. Finally, the wheel well moldings do show weathering.

INTERIOR: The leather seats (fronts are heated) are in excellent condition, including the rear jump seats (7 passenger). The truck was never smoked in, so it still smells great and there are no burns or cuts. The only imperfections inside include the headliner starting to sag in a couple of areas and the boot for the emergency brake is looking rather gnarly.

ELECTRICAL: Everything, and I mean everything, works and works as it should. All the lights work, the dual sunroofs work, all the power windows work, as do the power locks, heated seats and cruise control.

MECHANICAL: Zero issues whatsoever. No leaks, no peculiar noises, no repairs needed. The tires have 6/32's tread remaining with no uneven wear. The motor starts, idles and accelerates perfectly. The transmission (with only 30,000 miles on it) shifts flawlessly. The 4WD system works as it should, with new fluid in the transfer case and differential lock feature. Brakes have at least 50% of the pads remaining.

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit

Wed, Jan 24 2018

When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list

Thu, Nov 18 2021

J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation.  Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris:  Subaru  WRX and  Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma  Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."   Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota

Tata Motors posts quarterly loss and warns of inflationary costs

Mon, Jan 31 2022

BENGALURU — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) owner Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss on Monday that was bigger than expected and warned of rising inflationary costs. Automakers worldwide have been roiled by chip shortages, supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 restrictions and rising raw material prices after a short-lived recovery towards the end of 2020. "Demand remains strong despite near term concerns ... the semiconductor supply situation is improving gradually whilst inflation worries persist," Tata Motors said in an exchange filing. The company expects chip shortages at JLR to continue through 2022 as suppliers gradually ramp up production, and is also engaging directly with chip manufacturers to secure supply longer-term supplies for the Range Rover maker, it said. Tata Motors' consolidated net loss came in at 15.16 billion rupees ($203.23 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared to a profit of 29.06 billion rupees a year earlier, when an easing of pandemic-related restrictions led to a pick-up in sales. However, the recovery was short-lived as acute semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions delayed production, and Tata Motors slipped back to losses. For the reported quarter, analysts had expected the Mumbai-based company to report a loss of 3.30 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data. Tata Motors' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin, a key measure of profitability, was 10.2% for the quarter, above estimates of 9.3%. Total revenue from operations for the quarter fell 4.5% to 722.29 billion rupees, below estimates of 775.93 billion rupees. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
