NO RESERVE - HIGHEST BID IS GOING TO TAKE IT!
Your bidding on my personally owned 2003 Land Rover Discovery II SE with 81k original miles, I'm the second owner of the vehicle and know 100% of it's history and I'm still in contact with the original owner. I'm a self admitted Land Rover Junkie and this by far is the best Rover I have ever owned and one of the most unique. I have gone back and forth over the last 6 months to sell it or not after purchasing another vehicle and I have come to realize I cant drive 2 vehicles and its time to move on from my Rover.
History
This is a legitimate 2 Owner Discovery with 100% of the service records since it was brand new. I have owned a few Discovery's in the past and when I wanted another one I set out to find a solid Discovery that hasnt been owned by 75 people and been to 1000 car auctions and went through 500 car dealers. I wanted a CLEAN HISTORY Discovery, and I was willing to pay for it and here she is. When I bought it the Discovery was 100% bone stock with 60k miles, the rest of the work I had done over the last 2 yrs that I have owned it.
Vehicle Condition
I personally would consider the Discovery to be in "Above Average" Condition considering the age, miles, and over all condition of the Discovery as noted below.
Exterior
The exterior is near perfect and shows with a literally showroom shine. The Discovery has NEVER had any paint or body work, NEVER had an accident, has a CLEAN Carfax and CLEAN Auto Check History Reports. The factory black paint is in excellent condition and shows with a very nice deep shine and gloss. There are maybe a handful small un-noticeable door dings but nothing that jumps out at you. The only notable exterior flaw is a couple of dings on either side of the rear hatch door, if you look closely you can see them. These small dings came from reversing out of my garage and not realizing the garage door had not opened fully, the garage door got hung up and didnt open all the way and I hit the garage door when backing out. The dings are hardly noticable unless I pointed them out, but I was to disclose everything.
The Interior
The interior of the Discovery is 100% perfect, leather is in like new condition and shows very little wear at all. The headliner is brand new and I went with a black headliner to offset the the light gray interior pieces, the headliner looks great and was prob the best choice I made in replacing it...the pictures actually do it no justice. The worst of the interior is the emergency brake leather boot is cracked. Other than the boot, the interior is pretty much flawless...The Discovery has NEVER been smoked in either...
Mechanically
I could seriously write a novel on everything that has been done to this Discovery mechanically during my ownership. There has never been a single dollar spared in servicing this Discovery and I have all the receipts from day one to back it up.
When I bought the Discovery it was in the neighborhood of 58k-60k miles, it had the original 4.6 litre motor in the truck and it ran fine. Around 64k miles the Discovery started showing signs of a notorious problem common to the 2003 4.6 Litre motor in all Discovery's, Slipped Cylinder Sleeves (google it & youtube it for additional info). In essence the motor was on its way out and began sounding more and more like a diesel motor everyday as the sleeves were slipping inside the original motor.
After doing research on options to fix the problem on several Land Rover Forums, I came to the conclusion that the best of my options was to convert the Discovery to a 4.0 litre motor which came in the 1999-2002 Discovery II's. I found a shop capable of doing the work and a 2002 w/43k miles on the used motor and had the used 4.0 litre motor put in the Discovery. This is a common plug and play conversion but the work has to be done by a shop capable of reprogramming the factory computers to the 4.0 litre, which does not come cheap. The long term benefit of swapping back to a 4.0 litre is there is a surplus of used 4.0 litres that are literally half the cost of a 4.6 Litre if I ever had to replace the motor again.
The 4.0 litre motor has been great and was recently completely serviced at 80k miles. The most recent service included new value cover gaskets, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new ignition coils, new water pump, new thermostat, new radiator and new brakes. The most recent service was over $1500 and you can see my feedback as I bought a few of the replacement parts on ebay.
The Discovery has a 2" spacer lift and a set of BF Goodrich 275/65 R18 Rugged Trail AT's and it rides GREAT! Tires easily have 70% treadwear left. The front bumper was custom built by a local off-road fab shop and is a "Pre-Runner" style bumper, the offroad lights on the bumper are 8" lights but right now they are not wired up. The Discovery looks VERY aggressive and has a very unique look that I have never seen on another Discovery.
The only known mechanical problems are the "BRAKE" light intermittently flashes due to a failing emergency brake sensor. The Service Engine light also is intermittent and mostly comes on because I dont always take the time to secure the gas cap and their is a O2 Sensor that is in and out. Some days its off and will stay off for a while, then pop back on and off. Nothing seriously wrong with the Discovery though, I wouldnt hesitate to drive it to California and back.
Overall
Overall the Discovery is SUPER CLEAN and is hard to find with 2 solid owners who have spent the money needed to maintain it properly. I just purchased a new truck to pull our boat which is a little too much for the Discovery to pull. The Discovery in essence has become my 3rd vehicle or toy and with a new boat and truck, I need less hobbies right now...
If you have any questions about the Discovery please feel free to call me at (850) 630-2827
Payment
I'm requiring a 20% NON-REFUNDABLE Deposit due within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Full Payment is due within 5 days of the close of the auction. I will accept bank to bank wire transfers, cash in person, or a verifiable cashiers check... NO PAY PAL - NO EXCEPTIONS! I do owe a little bit of money on the Discovery to a local credit union, so it will be a few days before the lien will be released once full payment has been received, but once its paid for you can take the Discovery and I will mail you title or the Credit Union can. It's an electronic title and the lien will be released within 48hours of payment and I can have them print a paper title on the spot.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS ABOVE - DO NOT BID! PRETTY SIMPLE, DONT WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS!

Jaguar Land Rover won't attend the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January because the automaker will shift its focus to other international shows instead, the company confirmed to Autoblog. "Following a review of our global consumer engagement program, the decision has been made not to exhibit at the Detroit show in 2016," said a company spokesperson told Autoblog. The story was first reported by Automotive News. JLR will continue to attend other US auto shows in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles; plus those abroad in Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris, Beijing, and Shanghai. "We recognize that the Detroit show is a world-class Tier 1 auto show, however, we have had to make this decision to sharpen our focus as indicated," the spokesperson said. Detroit Auto Show PR Manager Max Muncey told Autoblog that the organizers already knew JLR wouldn't be there. "We are in discussions with other automakers to fill that spot," he said about using the open space. The show expects 70 percent of the floor plan in 2016 to be different from last year. The automaker used the 2015 Detroit Auto Show to announce diesel versions for several models, and it revealed the name for the Jaguar F-Pace there. JLR reportedly now has a plan to cut the equivalent of $6.8 billion in costs without firing workers and increase production to a million annual deliveries by the end of the decade. Related Video:

COVENTRY, England — Jaguar Land Rover has enough parts from China to maintain its British production for the next two weeks but not beyond that at the moment, Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Tuesday. Britain's biggest carmaker, which operate three car factories in its home market, joined major global companies such as Apple in warning of the impact of the virus on supply chains. The rapidly spreading virus has killed nearly 1,900 in China and stricken some 72,000 people, confining millions to their homes, disrupting supply chains and delaying reopening of factories after the extended Lunar New Year holiday break. "We are safe for this week and we are safe for next week and in the third week we have... parts missing," said Speth when asking about the potential impact on British production. He said the firm's Chinese factory would open next week and was "safe for the very first week." Sales were not currently happening in China and it was unclear when they would return, he added. The boss of Tata Motors, JLR's parent company, speaking at the same event, said the company does not have sufficient visibility regarding parts suppliers from China. "We are safe for the month of February and for a good part of March," said Guenter Butschek. "Are we fully covered at this point of time for the full month of March? Unfortunately...not."

LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
