General Info:
I am a late 20s landscape architect selling my Disco so I will have the cash needed to support myself for a few months while I grow my new business.  I have owned this car since February 2011 and absolutely love it.  It drives great, I feel very safe, it's stylish - classic yet hip, it holds the whole crew, reasonable insurance, the list goes on.  I really hate to let it go but I feel having the cash would be more useful than having wheels at this point.  But I can guarantee as soon as my business is off the ground, I will buy another '04 SE7 - it so great of a car I will always have one. 

As stated above, I have owned this Disco since 2011.  At the time I was driving a 2010 Mercedes C300 manual.  While it was a lovely car, I needed more space and knew if I was going to get an SUV, the '04 seven seater Disco would be my only choice.  A Newport Beach resident, I scoured Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties in search of SE7's.  I found a mere 10-15 options in all of Southern California.  After driving to see each one of them in person, choosing this Disco to purchase was an easy decision.  Most were in poor condition and being sold by tiny seedy "dealerships" in the not so nice parts of town.  This one, however, was pristine and being sold by the Jeep dealership in San Diego a few miles from Pacific Beach.

Once I found this beautiful example of a Disco, I drove the Benz back to Newport, parked it, took a $200 cab ride to San Diego, and bought the vehicle.  For two and half years, I drove it to the office five days a week as well as around town and the occasional Palm Springs or LA road trip on the weekends.  During that period I had no problems at all - mechanical or cosmetic.  But then...here's the game changer...I started a furniture business on the side.  Once I began transporting furniture in the Disco, it's condition went from "excellent" to "great" to now just "good".  First, I cracked the windshield with a side table.  Then I made a hole in the back inside plastic with an armoire.  And just general wear and tear cracked one jumpseat back and detached another.

In addition to the three "whoops" my furniture moving caused, there are two more.  First, in late September, my neighbor hit the front bumper taking a chunk out of the top it in.  Then, three days later, I backed into one of those yellow poles that protects mechanical equipment.  That whoops cracked the bumper and shattered the plastic that covers the back brake and reverse lights.

Fortunately, the only reason I would give this car a mere "good" rating is because of the minor cosmetic damage I caused.  And this damage seems easily fixable.  I called and both bumpers as well as the windshield can be fixed at your home - you don't have to take the vehicle anywhere if you don't want to.  And the jump seats covers just snap back on.  A little time and a few bucks and you could easily take this Rover back to the "pristine" condition it was in six months ago.

  • SoCal car so no rust or corrosion
*I am a landscape architect, not an auto mechanic.  I do not know anything about accessing vehicle condition.  I do, however, know this car.  It has been my daily driver for almost three years.  I am familiar with the way it runs just as I am familiar with the way my own body runs.  To me, it runs just a smooth as the day I got it and I foresee no immediate problems.  But again, I am a not an auto mechanic.

  • non-smoker
  • no pets (love furry friends just don't have any)
*Despite the few "whoops" I had as described at length in the "general information" section, overall this car is in great condition.  But because of those few easily fixable cosmetic issues, I would give the car a "good" condition rating.

With a new Jaguar and the Shell app, your car can pay for its own gas

Wed, Feb 15 2017

Contactless payments are making their way into the car. Jaguar and Shell have the first major rollout, allowing you to pay for fuel through the car's touchscreen. Of course you'll still have to get out of the car to actually pump the fuel into the car, but hey, progress, right? Apple Pay and PayPal will be available payment methods from the start, and Android Pay will be added later. For this all to work, you'll need a new Jaguar (or Land Rover) with the InControl infotainment system, a connected phone with the InControl app and Shell app, some space in your tank, and some electronic money. When you pull up to a Shell station and launch the Shell app through the touchscreen, the car will use geolocation to figure out which station you're at and then prompt you to enter the pump number you're next to (don't want to pay for someone else's fuel now do you?). Once that's done, you tell the system how much fuel you want (it's not clear if you can just fill the tank like most normal people do) and then the screen in the car shows you a receipt; one is also sent to you via email. While this might just seem like trading one screen for another and entering info through your car instead of at the pump, contactless payments also have an added level of security over pulling out a credit card. (Credit card skimmers, which steal card data when you go to swipe at a kiosk or ATM, have been popular at gas stations.) It will also be welcome in the winter months, when you can limit your exposure time. Plus you'll never again have to respond to this incomplete sentence, which greets us at Shell stations everywhere: "Is this debit card?" InControl is available on every Jaguar and Land Rover model. And if you get this Shell app working on an F-Pace with the Jaguar Activity Key, you'll have the latest in minimal-touch technology. The system will roll out to people in the UK first and should arrive in the US later this year. Related Video: Jaguar Land Rover Technology Smartphone Luxury shell paypal
