2004 Range Rover, With $14k Repairs Completed, One Owner, Works Great on 2040-cars
Kissimmee, Florida, United States
|
Hello. I am the original buyer and owner of this 2004 Range Rover. And while it has 188,000 miles on it, please know that in the past 18 months, I've put some $14,359 of key repairs into the car so the new owner should have good future service. I'd like to tell you the whole history of the car, and so let's begin.
I bought this Rover from Range Rover dealer in McLean, VA in 2004. Sticker price was total $77,950 which included the Luxury Interior Package of $5,000. Please find a photo of the window sticker included in the photos section. This has been a wonderful car, giving great service. This is the BMW redesign of Rover, and it has the BMW engine. The car worked just great with little repairs for the first 140,000 miles. Then in the past 18 months, there were significant repairs needed and this is probably reasonable given the high mileage. For you the prospective new buyer, you should know that only Range Rover parts have been used during the life of the car. Service was performed by Rover dealer in Virginia, and then here in Orlando. About 18 months ago, I switched my service loyalty over to E2 Services here in Orlando which is owned and operated by previous lead service tech from the Orlando dealership. They work on just Land Rovers and Mini Coopers, and their services are excellent at better prices than the dealership. Also, they are timely in their repair work. Today I visited E2 and got a six page print out of all the details of the various service repairs done to my car. These pages will be sent to new buyer. Here is fast recap of the major repairs done on the car: -- March 16, 2012: $4,011 for new radiator, new cabin filter, new hoses throughout, new AT filter, transmission service, replace 4 front control arms and ball joints. --May 1, 2012: $2022.12 for new Strut Assembly, front air strut, thermostat replacement, new battery. --March 6, 2013: $662 for new Valve Cover Gasket, remove and replace both, and new front brake pads rotors and sensor. --April 23, 2013: $1257 for expansion tank, water pump, BG induction kit. --March 12, 2013: $1328 Valve Covers replace both, turn signal assembly front left and front right. --June 17, 2013: $1919 for strut assembly air suspension, right side, and rear brake pads rotors and sensors; with this repair, air suspension system for front left and front right have been completed; also, new brakes for front and back have been installed. --September 20, 2013: $1194 for new suspension compressor; also routine oil change. --December 5, 2013: $1225 for new fuel pump, new fuel pump filters. And $50 for a pair of new struts for rear window opening/closing. OK, those are the major repairs. And remember, this car has delivered 188,000 miles so this $14,359 of service is more understandable. The good news for you, is that these repairs have already been completed. When you see other 2004 Rovers advertised at lower prices, please check to see what repairs have been made. This Rover has never been in accident. Rover has been garaged since taking delivery in 2004. Car is 100% no smoking. All repairs have been with Land Rover parts. Car has been detailed cleaned each month for past eight years. Car is very clean inside and out. Tires were bought from Costco on July 3, 2012 and the four tires are Michelin Latitude Tour HP All Season and cost about $1300 installed; tires were put on when car had 159K miles, so total miles on the tires are about 25K. The Costco people thought these high quality tires should deliver 50K miles. For all the repairs, and the Costco Tires, I have about 24 pages of receipts that I will provide the buyer. There are two original smart keys that came with the car. It seems the transmitting key lasts about three years, and about two years ago, I ordered a new third key from Land Rover Orlando. This $300 third key works great. The other two keys still work, but on one I needed to put tape to hold the battery compartment together. Future keys can be ordered from any Rover dealer. OK, that's the whole story. As you give this thought, please keep in mind that this 2004 Rover has many miles, but that also it has already had the repairs of $14, 359 completed so that you the new owner get a great looking car with so many repairs completed with original Rover parts done by Rover trained techs. Please see that I have over 300 transactions on ebay and I have 100% positive feedback. What that should mean to you, is that I'm a fair seller and I'm giving you the honest story. Bidding rules: Upon completion of auction or Buy It Now, buyer will send immediate Pay Pal deposit of $500. Balance of payment will be wire transfer from your checking account to my checking account at my local Bank of America; the wire transfer will cost you about $25.00 which is much better than the Pay Pal charge of 3%. Only when Pay Pal payment and wire transfer have been received, will I then sign over the clear title and provide car for pickup here in Orlando, FL market. You might want to hire a car carrier company to come pick up the car and that works very well. One company that does a great job is United Auto Carrier. USA shipping only. OK, here is the video that I shot about one month ago that give complete story. I've also shot a new video today December 6, and I'm having trouble putting it up on You Tube but I'll get it figured out and this will be up shortly. Why am I selling? I've found a new 2012 Rover that I'd like to buy so I'm putting this 2004 up for sale; I had this up for sale previously for about one day, but then I rethought the sale and thought I'd keep it another year. Just recently I found this newer 2012 that I'd like to get so now I'm wanting to sell this car again. OK here's the video story. Please note that the still pictures were taken today December 6, 2013. Please send any questions . |

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup
Wed, Jun 28 2017HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.
