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 reveals Bond cars [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Frankfurt Motor Show coverage to bring you something far cooler. Jaguar Land Rover has officially introduced the cars it's lending to the latest James Bond film, Spectre. There's not much that wasn't previously covered as part JLR's February 2015 release, although there are some comments from the stars, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos. At the very forefront of the British brand's charge is the Jaguar C-X75, the stillborn concept that set hearts aflutter with its handsome looks and its innovative turbine-powered drivetrain. According to Jaguar Land Rover, the orange supercar will be piloted by baddie Dave Bautista as part of an enormous chase scene throughout Rome. Meanwhile, Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris in her second Bond flick, will pilot the blacked-out Defender. For those that remember Skyfall, Miss Moneypenny spent most of the film's pre-title sequence tearing through Istanbul, Turkey behind the wheel of a silver Defender. Joining the Defender is the most powerful vehicle Land Rover has ever produced. The new Range Rover Sport SVR will show up wearing a menacing black paint job and featuring some extra lighting on both its roof and in its bumper. It's not clear who will be driving the 550-horsepower SVR, but in the photos released by JLR, it's shown trading places with a pair of Defenders as they rampage through the Austrian snow. Check out the photos of the vehicles below. You'll find both studio stuff and some set photos. There's also a full press release from JLR, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos.

Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product.
