1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spur Base Sedan 4-door 6.7l on 2040-cars
St. George, Utah, United States
Car runs and drive great. It is in beautiful condition; the tires are brand new Pirelli's (less than 500 miles), the brakes (all four) are brand new, air blows cold and everything works. The miles are actual and the car has been kept in garage. I'm handling the sale of the car for the owner who is elderly and is in an old folks care center. I will add more pictures Monday morning. Today (8/25) I replied to some enquirers so I'm adding what I wrote to them. I will be posting more pictures within three hours. The owner says that it has been maintained religiously with Foreign Auto Repairs here in St. George. I will see about getting a record of the maintenance and get back to you today on that. As for Auto Check saying there is a mileage discrepancy, I called the Utah MVD about it and their records won't go back any further than the 8/08/2006 date as they changed their system just before that date. I know! How convenient! This I can speak positively on that Utah puts on the title "0" after odometer and down in the middle of the title writes "VEHICLE IS EXEMPT FROM ODOMETER REQUIREMENTS" whenever a vehicle is ten years old and older. I have a copy of the title from the owner which says "Duplicate Title" at the top and the issue date is 08/08/2006. The owner lost the title that was issued by Utah on 12/01/2000 and so they got this duplicate title on 8/08/2006. So, I am baffled why as to why Auto Check is showing odo discrepancy. The only thing I can figure out is that either Utah DMV made a mistake when issuing the 2000 title by putting unknown miles instead of exempt or Auto Check is in error in recording odo discrepancy instead of exempt odo for the 2000 date. I say this because the owners are very honest people and he was unable to get a Utah drivers license since they moved here because of what diabetes has affected his eyes and she had a Volvo that she drove when they moved here so the car has not been driven much since 2000. As you see on Auto Check, the car had 48K in California and now it reads 51905 and I verified that its working. I will see what other info I can get from Foreign Auto Repair. Okay, I went to Foreign Auto and got copies of the servicing they have had done since here in St. George. The first invoice is dated 09/24/2004; the mileage was 50,915 and it was for State Inspection and lube, oil & filter. Then they had an inspection and LOF (lube, oil, filter) each year thereafter up to date. They also had a valve cover gasket replaced on 11/08/2012. I talked to the owner again about the mileage and they said that they absolutely have never had any odo problems. The odo has always worked fine. Also, I should mention that this car belongs to non-smokers.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Rolls-Royce gives up on electric, diesel models in favor of hybrid
Mon, Sep 29 2014Rolls-Royce is not what you might characterize as one of the greenest automakers on the market. Its vehicles tend to be rather large, saddled with lots of plush leather, thick carpets and wood trim, and powered by twelve-cylinder engines in excess of six and a half liters. But that doesn't mean that the stoic British automaker isn't trying to clean up its act, even if its customers haven't responded in kind. Rolls did not receive a single order for the all-electric Phantom. A few years ago, Rolls-Royce showcased an all-electric Phantom prototype called the 102EX (pictured above) and sent it on a global tour to demonstrate to customers around the world. But in speaking to company representatives, Autocar reports that Rolls did not receive a single order for such a vehicle. Nor did customers respond favorably to the idea of a diesel Rolls-Royce. Prospective and existing clients exhibited "significant hostility" towards the idea, despite a diesel prototype that was "effectively inaudible" in comparison to the existing gasoline models while delivering torque-driven performance which the company characterized as "impressive" while significantly reducing carbon emissions. As a result, the diesel project was killed off just like the electric one. That doesn't mean that Rolls-Royce is giving up, though. In the wake of the diesel and electric projects, Goodwood is reportedly proceeding with a hybrid powertrain borrowed from parent company BMW, which offers a wide array of hybrids including versions of 3 Series, 5 Series and 7 Series sedans, the X6 crossover and the i3 and i8 PHEVs.
BMW warns profits will fall, plans $13.6 billion in cost-cutting
Wed, Mar 20 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — BMW said Wednesday that profits in 2019 will be "well below" last year's, and it will cut 12 billion euros ($13.6 billion) in costs by the end of 2022 to offset spending on new technology. The company said profits would be eroded by higher raw materials prices, the costs of compliance with tougher emissions requirements and unfavorable shifts in currency exchange rates. The Munich-based automaker also faces increased uncertainty due to international trade conflicts that could lead to higher tariffs. "Depending on how conditions develop, our guidance may be subject to additional risks; in particular, the risk of a no-deal Brexit and ongoing developments in international trade policy," said Chief Financial Officer Nicolas Peter. The company forecast a profit margin of 6 to 8 percent for its automotive business, short of the long-term strategic target of 8 to 10 percent, which it said still "remains the ambition" for the company if given "a stable business environment." BMW said it had no plans for layoffs even as it outlined cost saving measures that include dropping half of its engine variants as it seeks to reduce product complexity. The BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands are to get a single sales division. Peter said that given the headwinds to earnings, "we began to introduce countermeasures at an early stage and have taken a number of far-reaching decisions." The company said the measures were needed "to offset the ongoing high level of upfront expenditure required to embrace the mobility of the future." Automakers around the world have faced heavy up-front costs for technology expected to change how people get from one place to another in the next decade. Those include electric cars and renting cars through smartphone apps. Yet the returns from such investments remain uncertain and auto companies face competition from tech firms such as Uber and Waymo. BMW made 7.2 billion euros ($8.2 billion) in net profit last year, down 17 percent from 2017, when it booked a gain of $1 billion from U.S. tax changes. The company faced headwinds from increased tariffs on vehicles exported to China from the United States. It also suffered from turmoil on the German auto market when companies faced bottlenecks getting cars certified for new emissions rules. BMW faces uncertainty from U.S.-China trade tensions that could result in new tariffs if talks do not result in an agreement. U.S.
