Rioja Red on Bahama Beige: Inspired by the wine region of La Rioja in Spain, this deep red looks nothing less than sensual! If you have been looking for a beautiful, serviced, low mile, wonderful driving Discovery, wait no longer!
Background: Let me begin with a little background. It was ordered in a BEAUTIFUL color and option package. To begin with, this is the fantastic SE model. The SE model and this specific truck were optioned and were graced with Land Rover "Deep Dish" (the factory name) wheels, wood accents, partial wood center console and few other wonderful trim pieces. This truck was dealer maintained for most of its life! Originally first sold in Arizona in December 1997 and serviced at the Jaguar Land Rover dealer in Scottsdale for 3 years, the truck then moved to San Diego and was serviced at Land Rover Miramar for 6 years. After San Diego the truck moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and was serviced at the wonderful Land Rover of South Bay dealership. The Condition and Service: This truck has been ENTHUSIASTICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY maintained and serviced and is a high standard for Rover service! Let's start on the engine and drivetrain: This engine has LOW MILES (less than 6,500 a year), only 108,000 miles appear on the odometer and the entire truck shows the same care. There has been A TON of scheduled and preventive maintenance performed to this truck to keep in near brand new condition. The engine is very healthy and has loads of smooth power! -HEAD GASKETS As part of the preventive service schedule, this truck received brand new OEM head gaskets and OEM headbolts. It was installed by a master Rover tech with several decades of experience. The truck runs COOL as can be and has never overheated. -UPPER AND LOWER ENGINE GASKETS While being serviced, the valve cover gaskets, valley pan gaskets, valve stem seals, upper intake gaskets and crank seal, all resealed among a few other minor seals. NONE of these were leaking, but were done in order to keep with the same high regard and care. -LOWER ENGINE Great shape, no knocks or mechanical issues!! As with ALL Rovers there is some minor "moisture" at oil pan seals, power steering etc. Its the British car way. That said the truck leaves no puddles or drips. -RADIATOR The radiator was cleaned and rodded in order to keep maximum flow and keep this beauty nice and cool. The temp needle NEVER moves past 7/8pm even with the AC on and in traffic. -HOSES New OEM hoses -IGNITION Brand new Champion coppers (the RIGHT plugs) and wires. -BATTERY BRAND NEW Bosch battery!! -EMERGENCY BRAKE Recently adjusted and tight, only a couple notches on the handle holds the truck tight -TRANSMISSION The trans was just given all new fluid and shifts great! -DIFFS and DRIVESHAFTS New gear oil in the diffs and lubricated u-joints -SWIVEL BALLS Fresh grease, serviced and shims -FUEL PUMP The truck received a brand new fuel pump a couple years ago to replace a weak pump. Great fuel pressure and runs like a beast! Lets move to the suspension and brakes: -BRAKES BRAND NEW OEM brake master cylinder! BRAND NEW OEM brake pads in the front and rear - loads of pad life! The truck brakes great. No ABS lights! BRAND NEW front rotors! -SHOCKS Great feeling OEM shocks. They are soft on bumps and tight in corners. The trucks handles wonderfully! -STEERING The steering is tight and has no excess play as you may find in MANY Discoveries. BRAND NEW steering stabilizer! -4WD SYSTEM 4WD Low and High both work great! No transfer case whine! Let's continue to the exterior: -PAINT The paint is very nice! It is a 8 out of 10 easily. the truck was repainted in stock Rioja Red a few years back. NOT because of an accident. CLEAN and CLEAR CarFax. Rioja Red from the factory tended to fade and the clearcoats wear weak. This truck was repainted with a nice paint job that while not perfect, shines and looks fantastic. There are few minor dings which are very hard to see in pics and in person and there are some touch ups to the paint on the truck on various parts of the truck. See the last pic below for an example. Remember this is a 16-17 year old truck, there may be some minor scratches, wear etc, but they are well below any expectation level for Discoveries or cars of this year. I try to explain these the trucks the best I can! Its hard if not impossible to see in pics and you have to be right up on it to see it in person. Could almost not mention it just trying to be thorough!!! -TIRES BRAND NEW Firestone Destination tires. 90%+ tread! -WHEELS The wheels are in great shape with no major flaws or curbing. The Deep Dish look fantastic on the truck! -MUDFLAPS All 4 mudflaps intact and in great shape! MOST Discos are missing at least one. Not this beauty! -SPARE TIRE COVER Beautiful new black spare tire cover looks great and clean! -GLASS Not to let a pebble defeat this truck, the windshield is great shape! -TRAILER HITCH The Disco has a factory trailer hitch and is wired up and ready to tow. Onto the cabin: -SEATS The Bahama Beige seats are fantastic!!! There is NO tears, NO seams coming apart. They are incredibly supportive with what feels like zero foam wear. The leather is SO soft. The rears I'm pretty sure have never been used. They are so soft and buttery!! -DOOR PANELS One of the big things with Discos is the top of the drivers side door panel gets cracked...not this one! All of the panels are free of dents or major defects. -HEADLINER The headliner BRAND NEW. OEM Rover headliners tend to sag over time due to poor glue. Worry not with this brand new OEM color replacement! -CARPET Nice carpet in the truck. There is a little wear on the passenger side trans tunnel, but no holes hidden by floor mats or issues! That aside the carpet is very nice. New rubber floor mats up front in great shape! Carpet floor mat in the rear is good shape with a few minor stains. -POWER SEATS All power seat functions work perfect! Hard to find in a Discovery! -HEATED SEATS Heated seats work!!!!!!! A huge rarity in a Disco!!! Wonderful for those chilly nights! -POWER LOCKS All doors lock and unlock with central locking function. -POWER WINDOWS All windows work smooth and quickly! -SUNROOF Front AND rear sunroofs work great! -RADIO/CD CHANGER OEM radio has been changed and replaced with a Kenwood head unit and Focal speakers. Sounds good! Has a little hum at low volume but hard to hear once you turn the volume on. -AC/HEAT AC is ice cold and Heat is earth core hot! -MIRRORS Power mirrors work perfectly! -WOOD Nice wood on the console, doors and dash! -STEERING WHEEL The leather is very nice, no tears or issues! -CARGO AREA Cargo cover in place and operating (usually they are missing!). Rear carpet is nice, with only minor flaws. The cargo pockets are all intact and in nice shape! -MISCELLANEOUS The OEM roof rack bars are on the roof and the original jack and ramp are are the hood The Experience Driving this Discovery is fantastic. It is Lexus quiet inside, pulls and handles like a sports car and is as comfortable as a Rolls Royce. Its got all the power it had from the factory and from even a little gas is torquey and responsive. I hope you can tell by my long ad that this truck is a great pre-owned and beautiful Land Rover. It's tax season, treat yourself to this truck, that you will not have to dump TONS of money into in this NO RESERVE AUCTION! There is well over $7k in recent scheduled and preventive service alone in this truck so you are ready to go another 100k+++ of care free miles. Don't buy an unserviced truck for a little less than spend 2 times as much to get it to this level of service! Feel free to ask me any questions at all. Residents around the country I am happy to be flexible for your arranged shipper so that you can get your new truck as soon as possible. CA residents, registration good until Jan 2015! My standard disclaimer/mantra for any car regardless of service or price: The truck is sold with no warranty. You are buying a used car. Eventually every car will break, if you find one that doesn't please let me know. I do my ABSOLUTE BEST to offer only cars that are of TOP NOTCH service. I am not a dealer, just a guy who loves Rovers (among other cars) and hope to pass along my passion and fervor for these trucks. That said if ever you encounter an issue I do my best to provide advice, direction or even parts if I have them. Please understand that it is a used car and will have minor signs of use. That means please do not expect a showroom brand new truck. Please adjust your expectation level to that of a 108,000 mile truck that however is well above average for its year. This is very low miles for Discoveries of this year, but please just remember that no 108,000 mile truck is perfect cosmetically. It is though a clean, very nice truck! Please only bid if you intend to buy. If you would like to have eBay 3rd party mechanic service check out the truck I more than welcome it. Please check your local laws and registration procedures before buying. Please ask any and all questions ahead of purchase. All sales are final, you are buying as-is, the sky is blue, etc, etc. Sorry to have to give the boring speech. Please feel free to ask any and all questions!! Happy Rover-trails!!!! |

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units
Tue, Dec 20 2016It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.
