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!

value 120K original miles, Clean California title in
hand, passed new stringent California Star-Smog certification with flying
colors. Excellent CARFAX history.
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!!!

Mon, Aug 14 2017
From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence – a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."
