2004 Range Rover, With $14k Repairs Completed, One Owner, Works Great on 2040-cars
Kissimmee, Florida, United States
|
Hello. I am the original buyer and owner of this 2004 Range Rover. And while it has 188,000 miles on it, please know that in the past 18 months, I've put some $14,359 of key repairs into the car so the new owner should have good future service. I'd like to tell you the whole history of the car, and so let's begin.
I bought this Rover from Range Rover dealer in McLean, VA in 2004. Sticker price was total $77,950 which included the Luxury Interior Package of $5,000. Please find a photo of the window sticker included in the photos section. This has been a wonderful car, giving great service. This is the BMW redesign of Rover, and it has the BMW engine. The car worked just great with little repairs for the first 140,000 miles. Then in the past 18 months, there were significant repairs needed and this is probably reasonable given the high mileage. For you the prospective new buyer, you should know that only Range Rover parts have been used during the life of the car. Service was performed by Rover dealer in Virginia, and then here in Orlando. About 18 months ago, I switched my service loyalty over to E2 Services here in Orlando which is owned and operated by previous lead service tech from the Orlando dealership. They work on just Land Rovers and Mini Coopers, and their services are excellent at better prices than the dealership. Also, they are timely in their repair work. Today I visited E2 and got a six page print out of all the details of the various service repairs done to my car. These pages will be sent to new buyer. Here is fast recap of the major repairs done on the car: -- March 16, 2012: $4,011 for new radiator, new cabin filter, new hoses throughout, new AT filter, transmission service, replace 4 front control arms and ball joints. --May 1, 2012: $2022.12 for new Strut Assembly, front air strut, thermostat replacement, new battery. --March 6, 2013: $662 for new Valve Cover Gasket, remove and replace both, and new front brake pads rotors and sensor. --April 23, 2013: $1257 for expansion tank, water pump, BG induction kit. --March 12, 2013: $1328 Valve Covers replace both, turn signal assembly front left and front right. --June 17, 2013: $1919 for strut assembly air suspension, right side, and rear brake pads rotors and sensors; with this repair, air suspension system for front left and front right have been completed; also, new brakes for front and back have been installed. --September 20, 2013: $1194 for new suspension compressor; also routine oil change. --December 5, 2013: $1225 for new fuel pump, new fuel pump filters. And $50 for a pair of new struts for rear window opening/closing. OK, those are the major repairs. And remember, this car has delivered 188,000 miles so this $14,359 of service is more understandable. The good news for you, is that these repairs have already been completed. When you see other 2004 Rovers advertised at lower prices, please check to see what repairs have been made. This Rover has never been in accident. Rover has been garaged since taking delivery in 2004. Car is 100% no smoking. All repairs have been with Land Rover parts. Car has been detailed cleaned each month for past eight years. Car is very clean inside and out. Tires were bought from Costco on July 3, 2012 and the four tires are Michelin Latitude Tour HP All Season and cost about $1300 installed; tires were put on when car had 159K miles, so total miles on the tires are about 25K. The Costco people thought these high quality tires should deliver 50K miles. For all the repairs, and the Costco Tires, I have about 24 pages of receipts that I will provide the buyer. There are two original smart keys that came with the car. It seems the transmitting key lasts about three years, and about two years ago, I ordered a new third key from Land Rover Orlando. This $300 third key works great. The other two keys still work, but on one I needed to put tape to hold the battery compartment together. Future keys can be ordered from any Rover dealer. OK, that's the whole story. As you give this thought, please keep in mind that this 2004 Rover has many miles, but that also it has already had the repairs of $14, 359 completed so that you the new owner get a great looking car with so many repairs completed with original Rover parts done by Rover trained techs. Please see that I have over 300 transactions on ebay and I have 100% positive feedback. What that should mean to you, is that I'm a fair seller and I'm giving you the honest story. Bidding rules: Upon completion of auction or Buy It Now, buyer will send immediate Pay Pal deposit of $500. Balance of payment will be wire transfer from your checking account to my checking account at my local Bank of America; the wire transfer will cost you about $25.00 which is much better than the Pay Pal charge of 3%. Only when Pay Pal payment and wire transfer have been received, will I then sign over the clear title and provide car for pickup here in Orlando, FL market. You might want to hire a car carrier company to come pick up the car and that works very well. One company that does a great job is United Auto Carrier. USA shipping only. OK, here is the video that I shot about one month ago that give complete story. I've also shot a new video today December 6, and I'm having trouble putting it up on You Tube but I'll get it figured out and this will be up shortly. Why am I selling? I've found a new 2012 Rover that I'd like to buy so I'm putting this 2004 up for sale; I had this up for sale previously for about one day, but then I rethought the sale and thought I'd keep it another year. Just recently I found this newer 2012 that I'd like to get so now I'm wanting to sell this car again. OK here's the video story. Please note that the still pictures were taken today December 6, 2013. Please send any questions . |

Jaguar Land Rover opens new $1.6 billion factory in Slovakia
Thu, Oct 25 2018BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Jaguar Land Rover is opening a new, $1.6 billion plant in Slovakia, the luxury car maker's first in continental Europe. The U.K.-based company, owned by India's Tata Motors, built the plant near Nitra, about 65 miles east of Bratislava, to initially produce 150,000 cars a year. The Slovak government is giving the carmaker investment subsidies of up to 130 million euros ($148 million). Slovakia is a regional car-making powerhouse. Germany's Volkswagen AG, France's PSA Peugeot Citroen and South Korea's Kia Motors all have a major plant in this Central European country of 5.4 million people. The company said it will shift all production of its Discovery model from Birmingham, England, to Slovakia amid falling diesel sales, vehicle taxes and uncertainty about Britain's Brexit departure from the European Union.Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Land Rover could build a baby Defender on a platform sourced from BMW
Mon, Aug 12 2019The collaboration between BMW and Jaguar-Land Rover started out small, it was originally limited to motors for electric cars, but it might not stay that way for long. The Tata-owned British sister companies will allegedly rummage through Munich's sizable parts bin to build nearly half a dozen cars scheduled to come out during the 2020s. According to a report by British magazine Autocar, Jaguar has started designing two small cars that will join its growing family of Pace-badged soft-roaders. They'll be new additions to the firm's portfolio, not replacements for existing cars. One will be a regular crossover, while the other will be a swoopier, form-over-function four-door model ostensibly marketed as a coupe. Both will slot at the very bottom of the Jaguar portfolio, below the already pretty small E-Pace, in a growing market segment where the competition is fierce, and profit margins are thinner than an i3's tires. Here's where BMW apparently comes in. Instead of developing a platform from scratch, the two crossovers could ride on the hybrid-ready, front-wheel drive FAAR architecture found under the third-generation 1 Series hatchback and the upcoming 2 Series Gran Coupe. If we believe an earlier report claiming Jaguar and BMW will also share engines, most of the hardware found under the sheet metal will have German genes. All-wheel drive will certainly be available, and it could also come from BMW. The same platform -- and, presumably, the same engines -- would provide the basis for a Land Rover-badged model positioned in the same segment. Autocar learned it will be to the next-generation Defender (pictured) what the Mercedes-Benz GLB is to the G-Class. Some key design cues will carry over, but the two models will share absolutely nothing under the sheet metal. The soft-roader could resurrect the Freelander nameplate when it goes on sale during the 2020s. Looking even further ahead, the front-wheel-drive platform the next Mini Countryman and X1 will utilize could find its way under the replacements for the next Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport. These plans could very well change; the Evoque and the Disco Sport barely entered their second generation, so they're not due for a replacement until the second half of the coming decade. While neither company has confirmed or denied the report, the partnership makes sense from a business standpoint.
