You are bidding on a 2008 Range Rover with a great body that was flooded and is not in running order.  The vehicle has a very clean body and interior, and many new modules and parts.  It’s white with beige leather.  Odometer shows 43,700 miles.  The truck was manufactured in June 2008, so it’s a very late 2008 - almost a 2009. VIN is SALME15418A293331

** THIS IS NOT A RUNNING VEHICLE.  IT IS OFFERED AS IS WITH WATER DAMAGE **

From what I can see the body on this truck is in great shape.  It looks all original to me and it’s free of damage with the exception of some minor bumper chips.  The car has good wheels and tires.  It’s all stock.

The interior is nice and clean though there is some corrosion visible under seats and in corners.  There is no significant wear or damage to any of the seating surfaces.

Someone bought this car and tried to fix it before being overwhelmed by the job.  They purchased a new engine control unit ($2,000), a new body control unit ($2,000) and a new immobilizer.   The car was also fitted with a new instrument cluster from another vehicle.  All those parts function but are now coded with a different VIN which would have to be cleared before they could be used in a vehicle.  Windows, door locks, and all the hood latches, stuff like that work.  The vehicle can be locked up with the key and the windows are closed, so it's secure and watertight if parked outside.  All the body sheet metal looks really good - doors don't have any damage.  Fenders, quarters, etc all good.  Windshield even looks new.  Complex electronics is mostly inoperative.  The car was flooded to at least dash top level.

The seller purchased 8 more used modules (radio, transfer case, and other systems) which may or may not be usable in another 2006-2009 Range Rover.  These are included with the vehicle, along with most of the original modules that were swapped out.  We do not have the original flooded ECU or the original instrument cluster.  The cluster in the car seems to work but I do not know of a way to recode miles and VIN for use in another vehicle.

This would be a great truck for someone who has a rolled or heavily crashed Range Rover.  It’s got most of what you need to put a rig like that back on the road.  If you have an early L3222 Range Rover I think the front and rear of this vehicle could be used to update a 2003-5 truck but you should check an interchange guide for specifics.  I offer the car as it, as water damaged salvage.   

If you are a body man you know the value of the parts on this truck. Flooding can ruin mechanicals and electrics but the body, sheet metal, plastic, and all the sealed systems tend to be unaffected.  On a vehicle like this, that adds up to a lot. A good nose or tail is close to ten grand for these cars, and when you add an interior, radiator, AC condenser, wheels, and whatever else you can use the truck is a bargain for someone like that.  All the plastic trim is complete and undamaged. The seats look near-new and they have the fancier contrast piping.

According to Land Rover this car was last serviced in August 2012 at 43,000 miles. That's the last recorded mileage and the last time it was known to be on the road.  It was sold to our client – with water damage – in the fall of 2013.  

The car is available for inspection at our Springfield offices, Monday-Friday from 8-5.  Robison Service is one of the leading independent Land Rover specialists in the eastern United States.  Read more about us online through our RobisonService website or blog.  We are an authorized Bosch Car Service center specializing in Land Rover.  

This vehicle rolls, but does not start or run.  It will have to be towed out of here.  You can shift it into park to secure it on a trailer.  If you want to inspect the car, please do so BEFORE bidding.  If you have questions call John Robison at 413-785-1665 or email through the ebay system.  

We are a Massachusetts licensed motor vehicle dealer and repair facility.  Buyer will owe 6.25% MA sales tax, and there is a $129 title and document processing fee.  Please note that you will owe MA sales tax even if you ship the truck out of state because it's sold off our lot here, and must be picked up in person.  It's not a mail-order item. The only exception to this sales tax rule is for licensed dealers who present a valid, current dealer license and state issued tax certificate.  These fees are in addition to the bid price for the car.  We are not selling subject to financing.  Please make sure you have funds lined up before you bid.

GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse

Fri, Dec 19 2014

The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.

Jaguar Land Rover remains bullish on diesels

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Despite Volkswagen's recent diesel scandal, Jaguar Land Rover is pushing ahead with ambitious plans to roll out the technology across most of its lineup in the coming years. Jaguar and Land Rover will add diesel engine variants to every model in their lineups, except for the Jaguar F-Type sports car. Land Rover launched the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with available 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesels, and together they have sold more than 330 units so far in September, their first month on sale in the United States. JLA officials say they've seen no fallout from VW's emissions problem and are adamant their diesels meet EPA standards. "That has been our strategy, and it is not changing," Joe Eberhardt, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO, told the Automotive Press Association on Wednesday in Detroit. "You have to deal with the situations as they arrive. We are confident of diesel." Jaguar will get another diesel next year from its Ingenium engine family, which will initially be sold in the XE sedan and the F-Pace crossover. It's a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit and makes 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. A JLR spokesman said the Ingenium has not yet gone through the EPA certification process, and the diesel-powered models will arrive in the fall. Jaguar also plans to add diesel engines to the flagship XJ and XF sedans. Land Rovers, including the Discovery and Evoque, will also get diesel options, and the company estimates the technology will offer 20- to 30-percent improvements in fuel economy, depending on the vehicle. Eberhardt said it is "too soon to tell" if the diesel market will be weighed down by Volkswagen's situation. The German automaker admitted to cheating on emissions tests to make its diesel-powered cars appear to run cleaner than they actually do in real-world situations. The ensuing outrage forced longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn to step down and prompted a reorganization of the company, which faces legal and regulatory action around the world. Still, Eberhardt maintains JLR is "very confident" in its diesels, which are part of its strategy to grow sales around the world. Land Rover has experienced rapid growth under the ownership of Indian conglomerate, Tata Motors, while Jaguar is set to revitalize its lineup with new entries like the XE and F-Pace to reach a broader market segment.
