Im offering up my personally owned 2003 Land Rover Discovery II SE w/80k miles for sale or your best reasonable cash offer. I have owned the truck for just over a year and recently bought a full-sized truck for work and no longer have a need for the Discovery. This is a 100% legitimate 2 Owner vehicle with no BS stories, Im in contact with the original owner and neither of us have ever spare any expense in the service of this Discovery and by all means I consider this a RARE find in a Discovery. If you make me an offer, please send me a telephone number to call you prior to accepting your offer I will call you...


History

I'm a self proclaimed Rover junkie and have owned several Discovery's and Range Rovers over the past 10 years. I'm extremely familiar with all their pro's and con's of ownership and this Discovery was purchased after several months of looking for the right Discovery with a 100% CLEAN history. The Discovery was originally purchased in Hawaii by a gentleman who was in Hawaii as a Red Cross Volunteer. When his volunteer term ended he shipped the vehicle back to the states where it was donated back to the Red Cross to be sold at a charity auction where the proceeds benefitted the Red Cross. I heard about the truck through a friend of mine in Atlanta, GA and went to the Red Cross event and purchased the truck and brought it home to Panama City Beach, FL. At the time of purchase the Discovery had 59k miles.

The Exterior

The exterior is in near flawless condition, the paint shows with a near showroom shine and has a deep gloss and reflection. The truck has never had any previous paint or body work and literally has maybe 2 door dings on the entire body. There is a couple of light scratches on the passenger rear corner but these could easily be buffed out, they are not deep or all that bad. There are two minor dings on either side of the upper rear of the truck, above the taillights. You would likely never notice them unless I pointed them out. The worst part of the exterior is the front center bumper cover section is cracked and broke in a few places (see pics). In person you can hardly notice because the truck is black and the under portion is black so it is kind of hard to spot unless your looking for it. This is a very common thing for a 03-04 Discovery...

The Interior

The interior much like the exterior is near flawless and has NEVER been smoked in. The leather is in excellent condition and shows with very little wear. The carpets have been covered with the original factory heavy rubber floor mats preserving the carpet in like new condition. The rear cargo area has the factory original cargo cover which is rare to find a Discovery with the cargo cover. The headliner is brand new and less than a week old. I went with a black headliner to offset the gray and it looks great. The interior is in like new condition and shows extremely well, near showroom condition when its cleaned up.

Mechanically

Mechanically the truck is 100% solid and I can write a novel on all the service work I have done to the truck in the year I have owned it. I bought the truck with 59k and at 62k the original 4.6 Litre developed a tick that by 64k became more of a knock. The 03-04 4.6 litre motors are known for slipping cylinder sleeves (google it) causing the motor to tick/knock. I purchased a used 2002 4.0 litre with 43k miles and had it installed in the Discovery and the factory ECU reprogrammed for the 4.0 litre. There is literally no difference in the way the truck drives or pulls a trailer. I have the paperwork for the motor and motor swap which indicates the miles on the used motor and the Discovery at the time of installation.

The tires are all Michelins with easily 70% or more treadwear remaining. I also had the rear brakes done about 2 months ago with new pads and rotors, most recent oil change was about 2 weeks ago and I always run 15w 40 Rotella in it. The Discovery hits the road PERFECT with no shakes, vibrations, pulling, or anything out of the ordinary. The Discovery does not have any indicator lights on, although the check engine light is known to come on and off depending on 2 common reasons, 1. the gas cap not being on tight or 2. an O2 sensor that I think is on its way out. It's off more than it comes on, however the gas cap can be tricky at times.

Overall

Overall in my opinion the Discovery is a rare find due to the low miles, 2 owners, and service history. It's hard to find a clean Discovery thats hasnt had a million owners, and with a complete service history and been this well cared for. I'm only selling it because my work needs have changed and need something that will pull a much heavier load than my boat or jet skis...

Payment

For payment I'm requiring a 20% NON-REFUDABLE deposit within 48 hours of the close of the sale and remaining balance within 5 days form the end of the sale. I will accept bank to bank wire transfers and verifiable cashiers checks only, no exceptions. I owe a little bit of money on the Discovery so my credit union has a lien on the electronic title. Once payment in full has been made the credit union will release the lien and the electronic title can be printed within 48 hours.

Average new-vehicle transaction price hits a whopping new peak in December

Wed, Jan 11 2023

Elevated prices for products and higher borrowing rates led to record high transaction prices for new vehicles in December, with the average cost in the U.S. rising to a record $49,507, according to data from Kelley Blue Book released today. The report notes that ATPs — average transaction prices — have climbed above suggested retail prices — MSRPs — for more than a year. Sales volumes were up in December on a year-over-year basis by more than 5%, a situation Kelley attributed to improved supply. Overall sales for 2022, however, were off 8% year over year. “The transaction data from December clearly indicates overall prices showed no signs of coming down as we headed into year-end,” said Rebecca Rydzewski, research manager of economic and industry insights for Cox Automotive. “Luxury prices fell slightly in December, but non-luxury transaction prices were up. Truck sales were particularly strong last month, and with many trucks selling for more than $60,000, a new record was all but inevitable.” Industry analysts claim the most obvious headwinds in the new car market are generated by higher interest rates, forced by the Federal Reserve's rate hikes intended to tame inflation, and by generally limited inventory. A recent report from J.D. Power showed that the average monthly payment for a new vehicle loan in December was $718, up $47 from a year ago. But 16% of consumers in December took out loans with monthly payments of over $1,000. Consumers think vehicles, and electric vehicles especially, are way too expensive. Fortunately, manufacturersÂ’ incentives, all but extinct in the past two years, are returning, especially in the electric-vehicle and luxury market, the Kelley data suggest. Plus, "With the new tax credits on the way, electric vehicle ATPs will drop lower for qualifying vehicles,” Rydzewski said. Non-luxury brands, such as Honda and Kia, showed particularly strong performance in December, with the average price paid at $45,578 — a record high and an increase of $994 month over month. Meanwhile, the average luxury buyer paid $66,660 for a new vehicle last month. Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover showed the most price strength in the luxury market, transacting between 2.6% to 6.5% over sticker price. But luxury brands Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, and Volvo showed the least price strength with some discounting in effect, selling 1% or more below MSRP in December, according to the survey.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
