1995 Land Rover Discovery Base Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Franklinton, North Carolina, United States
I have owned my landy for years, keeping my baby meticulously cleaned and maintained. We've been through a lot together, but unfortunately my dad needs some unexpected surgery, and I have to sell her to cover costs :'(
The vehicle is in absurdly good condition, especially given its age. She doesn't have any of the 'typical' old car problems: the paint isn't faded, all of the electronics work (all power doors, windows, radio etc), the weatherstripping still seals, the air vents aren't broken, fuel system is in good condition (recently tested at ~35 psi), windshield wipers work etc. The engine is also extremely healthy – oil changed regularly and not even a vacuum leak. She starts quickly, idles at the proper RPM, and the V8 has all of the get-up-and-go for whatever you can throw at it. It is built like a truck; the GAVR for this vehicle is 7000 lbs, and she has a receiver for a tow hitch.
The brush bars are aftermarket, and the paint on those is fading a touch, but not noticeably.
Jobs performed recently include: Idle Air Control Valve replaced Distributor cap and wires replaced Gear oil changed on both front and rear final drive unit All driveshafts and u-joints greased All Door latch springs replaced Engine oil changed Rotoflex changed Starter replaced Battery upgraded Clutch master cylinder replaced and lines bled
The car has a few caveats: the spotlights on the brush bars were never wired, the AC charge is getting low, and the rear view mirror was removed. This vehicle has seen minor off road use, so there are imperceptible scratches and dings low on some of the body panels.
The spare tire is completely new, and there is also a spare rotoflex that I keep in the back, along with a proper bottle jack. Tread life remaining is estimated at about 30%. The tires are in decent condition and lose less than 2 psi per month. Though the acc belt is new, there is a spare in the back as well.
This is a serious listing – I put effort into this listing so that you can make an informed choice instead of wasting your time. Please do not waste mine - contact me only if you are as serious about buying as I am about selling. Test drives allowed only if cash-in-hand. |

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023
Mon, Sep 12 2022Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV  |  Best Compact Luxury SUV  |  Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.   Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit
Wed, Jan 24 2018When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.
