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

Lots of Land Rovers, Jaguars and Minis actually survived that near-capsized ship

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Despite a severe list to starboard, many of the 1,400 cars and SUVs aboard the 51,000-ton Hoegh Osaka are currently being recovered in salvageable condition, with video showing some of the vehicles from British brands Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini, being driven ashore under their own power. The car-carrying vessel developed a severe list on January 3 and was intentionally run aground on a sandbar between England and the Isle of Wight. It has since limped its way back to port in Southampton, where damage assessments are being conducted on both the ship and its $53-million in cargo. According to the company that owns the car carrier, the ship itself only suffered minor damage in the incident, while Car and Driver is reporting that many of the damaged vehicles will almost certainly be scrapped. Still, the fact that there are vehicles, some of which appear undamaged (look at that Defender at 0:50!), being removed from the Hoegh Osaka needs to count as a net win.

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models

Thu, Oct 1 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:
