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.

Editors' Picks, May 2023: Some Subarus and a pair of luxury SUVs

Thu, Jun 1 2023

The month of May saw a number of new vehicles jump into the pool of Editors' Picks. Subaru grabbed a pair with its brand-new generation of Crosstrek for 2024, and the Legacy earns one in the ever-shrinking midsize sedan segment. In the luxury space, we have one entry from Britain and one from here at home. The new Range Rover already got an Editors' Pick, but now the Range Rover Sport joins the ranks. The Corsair earned Editors' Pick status before its update, too, but now the refreshed version rejoins the ranks. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Subaru Legacy 2023 Subaru Legacy View 15 Photos Quick take:Â The Legacy brings all-wheel drive with sedan dynamics to a shrinking segment, and it does so with a competitive price, respectable tech and tons of utility. Score:Â 7.5 What it competes with:Â Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 Pros:Â All-wheel drive in every trim, spunky turbo engine, tons of space in the rear and trunk Cons:Â CVT makes for a dull drive, infotainment is clunky, styling is on the bland side From the editors: Associate Editor Byron Hurd Â— "Not everybody has abandoned sedans. Not only is Subaru keeping some of its eggs in this four-door basket, but it's dyeing them in some festive shades. The new turbocharged and tightened Sport model makes a great case for itself as a grown-up WRX without all the GT-themed nonsense. Shame about the CVT." In-depth analysis:Â 2023 Subaru Legacy gets Sport trim, more tech, fresh design Â 2023 Range Rover Sport Quick take: It may not be outwardly sporty, but the Range Rover Sport has a killer design, gorgeous interior, buttery-smooth driving characteristics and a clean tech interface.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Jaguar tests autonomous vehicle technology with 100-car fleet

Wed, Jul 13 2016

Jaguar Land Rover is exploring how to take autonomous vehicle technology off the paved path. But the company has plans for technology on tarmac, too. The company announced that the Jaguar division will have a fleet of 100 cars testing autonomous technologies on public roads. The testing process will cover a period of four years and begin with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems, along with a stereo camera system and autonomous vehicle software. These systems will work together to provide a variety of features that could make their way into future Jaguars and Land Rovers. The first feature in development is called "Roadwork Assist." The system relies on the stereo camera to create a 3D image the car's software can analyze. The software can identify road cones and other barriers associated with construction sites. The car will then alert the driver about entering the construction zone and provide some steering assistance to keep the car centered in its lane. Tony Harper, Jaguar's head of research, said that this system can reduce stress on the driver, and the technology could eventually be used to allow the car to pilot itself through construction zones. Another of Jaguar's proposed features is "Safe Pullaway," which also relies on cameras and software. The Safe Pullaway feature is designed to prevent close-proximity collisions in traffic jams and even in the garage. To do this, the car watches the area immediately ahead of it for obstacles. If the car detects something nearby while the driver adds throttle or shifts into gear, it will apply the brakes to prevent driving into the object. The final project on Jaguar's plate is its "Over the Horizon Warning" system. This will be one of the first features to rely on Jaguar's vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology. The idea is that connected cars in constant communication will give drivers additional warning of upcoming hazards, such as out-of-sight animals and slowed or stopped cars. In Jaguar's example of a stopped car, the stationary vehicle would send a signal alerting approaching cars of the situation. In turn, the approaching vehicles would trigger audible and visual warnings to drivers about the hidden car. Jaguar says that the system could also be applied to emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles would broadcast a signal to alert drivers well before the lights and sirens get their attention. This would give emergency vehicles a faster, safer path through traffic.
