2001 Discovery 2 SD7
Introduction:
If you’ve been looking for that perfectly serviced, low family ownership, ultra clean Discovery II 7-Seater, your search is over! This is an AWESOME truck… it joins the best of both world: All the options and refinement of the Disco 2’s – including rear air suspension! – but as it’s an SD7, so it also boasts more overall reliability than its more equipment burdened cousins. I think you’ll find that with a truck like this flaunting over $7000 of recent retail servicing, jumping on it should be a no brainer!
Service and Reliability:
As a Land Rover technician whose passion for the marquee inspires my dedication, I always use the best genuine parts and expert skill with their fitment. The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible!
Styling and Options:
The SD7’s were all business – they featured all of the legendary updates that made the Discovery II’s what they are, and yet – they are designed to be as field ready as you would hope from a truck in the Land Rover line-up.
As I’m sure you can see from the pictures, the Alpine White exterior is BLINDINGLY gorgeous. The paint is still smooth to the touch and will be forever. The Alpine White colour was the ONLY Rover colour that was formulated to resist the battering of harsh sun-bleached climates around the world. You will never have to worry about fade; as you would with nearly any other colour.
The Bahama Beige seats are in excellent condition; soft, clean and perfectly working. All power seats work as they should; as does the rear split-folding bench, as well as both of the 3rd row jump seats and folding head rests.
The factory running boards are near perfect, the front bumper has no chunks missing, both front wheel brake vent scoops are still intact and the rear folding cabin step tucks away as it should!
The rugs are still clean, plush and odor free. This was a non smoker vehicle and it shows from the second you get into it. The Brand New headliner rounds out that feeling of factory freshness and she even smells like a new car inside.
The best part about the cabin for me is the non-sunroof interior. It protects both drivers and passengers from blistering sun – where the retractable sunroof screens on other models don’t quite do the job. You have a roof that will never leak, you have a cabin with more head room, and when summer heat is at its worst, the SD’s will ALWAYS stay much cooler inside.
Performance and Operation:
As you would think, this truck performs brilliantly. It does not overheat, tick, knock, stumble, or hesitate at all. There are no warning lights, and no stored codes. It is all power, all go, all guts, from the second you turn the key. This truck was really combed over to be the best it can be. All electrical windows, seats, sunroofs, doors, lights work perfect. The steering is crisp, the suspension is tight, and the drivetrain has been fully serviced making it totally reliable. The next-gen HVAC AC and HEAT work great and with its recent service, the AC is ear-lobe and knuckle freezing cold!!!!
With selectable SPORT mode, you can launch onto the motorways with total confidence. There are no shimmies, shakes, or wanderings of any kind. The ride – partly due to the rear EAS – is rail road like in quality. No clunks or bumps – just a smooth, quiet, reliable ride you can feel. Have another look at the highlighted shots featuring standard ride height and max ride height: there is NO LEAK DOWN whatsoever.
Let’s talk about Rear Air Suspension. This feature is the advanced version of the EAS that was originally developed by Land Rover In 1993. It is more robust and reliable than older models and works perfectly. For most people it is great for two reasons – A) Towing. It will automatically level your ride height when pulling a trailer as opposed to a normal vehicle that collapses and does a wheelie with your camper in tow. B) Enhanced comfort. As mentioned, you will absolutely notice a difference when you hit speed bumps, pot holes, and crowned roads/dip crossings. This is especially nice for your 3rd row passengers!!!
Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:
No one puts a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands.
All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else. Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle. Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my trucks. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Classic without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do, too.
Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints, they go to the farthest reaches of the planet. They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it! The point here is, I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership. Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed. I have A LOT of copy-cats out there. If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me even though other sellers go so far as to “cut-n-paste” my listings!!!
While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune to future service needs and flaws. They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old. Case in point on this truck, the pictures display a host of parking lot variety dings and bangs; but nothing in my opinion that takes away from its overall quality and reliability. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. There are no warranties offered here, but that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time.
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction.
Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition.
Who is this truck for: Great question! First – anyone looking for a reliable & clean D2 7-Seater. Beyond that, it can be a great 1st car, weekender, guest vehicle, daily driver, or build platform for an excellent off-road expedition truck. She’s as versatile as she is reliable. Whatever you decide to do with it, it is most certainly up to the task. Snow season is coming, back to school time is here – where will you find yourself in this awesome D2? Best of luck and Happy Rovering!!! |

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list
Thu, Nov 18 2021J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation. Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris: Subaru  WRX and Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."  Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip
Thu, Jul 20 2023J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."Â Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
The 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years
Mon, Apr 22 2024Car maintenance has got to be one of the least fun things you can do with your free time, right behind going to the dentist and filing your taxes. However, depending on the brand you buy, your time spent at the shop could be much more than you bargained for. Consumer Reports’ new study on the most- and least-expensive-to-maintain car brands found that European car companies are most likely to break your wallet with costs nearly five times that of the automakers at the other end of the spectrum. Land Rover had the highest ten-year maintenance costs, at an average of $19,250. Porsche was second worst with $14,090 in costs. 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years: Land Rover: $19,250 Porsche: $14,090 Mercedes-Benz: $10,525 Audi: $9,890 BMW: $9,500 Volvo: $9,285 Infiniti: $8,500 Acura: $7,800 Mini: $7,625 Subaru: $7,200 The Euro brands at the “top” of this list arenÂ’t all that surprising. Land Rover has consistently landed as one of the most expensive vehicle brands to maintain for years now, though Porsche is generally viewed as being one of the more solid performance brands. That could suggest that some models donÂ’t always require more repairs, but the fixes they do need are significantly more expensive. Tesla, Buick, and Toyota were the three cheapest to maintain car brands, with 10-year maintenance costs of $4,035, $4,900, and $4,900, respectively. Consumer Reports noted that these numbers could be slightly skewed due to the fact that some automakers offer free maintenance for the first few years of ownership, and all companies cover their new vehicles for at least a few years after the purchase. Routine maintenance is a great way to avoid costly repairs over time, as itÂ’s much cheaper to catch a problem before it starts causing other issues. Check your oil, rotate your tires, and avoid driving like a wild person, and youÂ’ll likely fare much better than others, even if you own one of the scarier-to-maintain brands.
