1996 Land Rover Discovery Se7 - Fully Serviced, Low Miles, 7 Seats, No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
Altai Silver on Granite Gray! Offered only for 1996, this color combo is a unique moment for Discovery in the US! If you have been looking for a serviced, low mile, wonderful driving Discovery, wait no longer!
Background: Let me begin with a little background. It was ordered in a uncommon color and option package. To begin with, this is the fantastic SE7 model. The SE7 model and this specific truck were optioned and were graced with Land Rover "Castor" (the factory name) wheels, 7 seats, rear AC, dual sunroofs and few other wonderful trim pieces. Originally first sold in Los Angeles in January of 1996 and serviced by LA dealerships for most of its life, the Rover stayed in sunny SoCal its whole life. The Condition and Service: This truck has been ENTHUSIASTICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY maintained and serviced and is a high standard for Rover service! Let's start on the engine and drivetrain: This engine has LOW MILES (less than 6,500 a year), only 110,000 miles appear on the odometer and the entire truck shows the same care. There has been A TON of scheduled and preventive maintenance performed to this truck to keep in near brand new condition. The engine is very healthy and has loads of smooth power! -HEAD GASKETS As part of the preventive service schedule, this truck received brand new OEM head gaskets and OEM headbolts. It was installed by a master Rover tech with several decades of experience. The truck runs COOL as can be and has never overheated. -UPPER AND LOWER ENGINE GASKETS While being serviced, the valve cover gaskets, valley pan gaskets, valve stem seals, upper intake gaskets and crank seal, all resealed among a few other minor seals. NONE of these were leaking, but were done in order to keep with the same high regard and care. -LOWER ENGINE Great shape, no knocks or mechanical issues!! As with ALL Rovers there is some minor "moisture" at oil pan seals, power steering etc. Its the British car way. That said the truck leaves no puddles or drips. -RADIATOR The radiator was cleaned and rodded in order to keep maximum flow and keep this beauty nice and cool. The temp needle NEVER moves past 7/8pm even with the AC on and in traffic. -WATER PUMP Brand new OEM replacement pump! -HOSES New OEM hoses -IGNITION Brand new Champion coppers (the RIGHT plugs) and wires. -BATTERY BRAND NEW battery!! -EMERGENCY BRAKE Recently adjusted and tight, only a couple notches on the handle holds the truck tight -TRANSMISSION The trans was just given all new fluid and shifts great! -DIFFS and DRIVESHAFTS New gear oil in the diffs and lubricated u-joints -SWIVEL BALLS Fresh grease, serviced and shims Lets move to the suspension and brakes: -BRAKES BRAND NEW OEM brake pads in the front and rear - loads of pad life! The truck brakes great. No ABS lights! -SHOCKS Great feeling OEM shocks. They are soft on bumps and tight in corners. The trucks handles wonderfully! -STEERING The steering is tight and has no excess play as you may find in MANY Discoveries. -4WD SYSTEM 4WD Low and High both work great! Let's continue to the exterior: -PAINT The paint is very nice! It is a 7 out of 10. The truck shines up very nice as seen in the pics! Ther are some minor flaws in the paint though. There is some clearcoat chipping and fading on the roof and some fading on the doors and trunk. Its minor fading, but just trying to be thorough! CLEAN and CLEAR CarFax. There are few minor dings which are very hard to see in pics and in person and there are some touch ups to the paint on the truck on various parts of the truck. Remember this is a 18 year old truck, there may be some minor scratches, wear etc, but they are below any expectation level for Discoveries or cars of this year. I try to explain these the trucks the best I can! The rest of the exterior is in very nice shape! -TIRES Great shape OEM Michelin XPC!!!!! These tires are fantastic both on and off-road! -WHEELS The wheels are in great shape with no major flaws or curbing. The Castors look fantastic on the truck! -GLASS Not to let a pebble defeat this truck, the windshield is great shape! -TRAILER HITCH The Disco has a factory trailer hitch and is wired up and ready to tow. Onto the cabin: -SEATS The Granite Gray seats are fantastic!!! There is NO tears, NO seams coming apart. They are incredibly supportive with what feels like zero foam wear. The leather is in very nice shape! Check out the jump seats! Impossible to find granite gray jump seats and these are in fantastic shape! -DOOR PANELS One of the big things with Discos is the top of the drivers side door panel gets cracked...not this one! All of the panels are free of dents or major defects. -HEADLINER No sags or tears in this headliner - nice shape!!! -CARPET Nice carpet in the truck. Check out the pictures! Clean, no tears and no major stains! -POWER SEATS All power seat functions work perfect! Hard to find in a Discovery! -POWER LOCKS All doors lock and unlock with central locking function and OEM remote! A rare find! -POWER WINDOWS All windows work smooth and quickly! -RADIO/CD CHANGER OEM radio works great as well as the OEM CD player! -AC/HEAT AC is arctic cold and Heat is earth core hot! The rear AC/Heat works great too! -MIRRORS Power mirrors work perfectly! -STEERING WHEEL The leather is very nice, no tears or issues! -CARGO AREA Cargo cover in place and operating (usually they are missing!). Good luck finding a granite gray cargo cover! -MISCELLANEOUS The OEM roof rack bars are on the roof and the original jack and ramp are are the hood The Experience Driving this Discovery is fantastic. It is Lexus quiet inside, pulls and handles like a sports car and is as comfortable as a Rolls Royce. Its got all the power it had from the factory and from even a little gas is torquey and responsive. I hope you can tell by my long ad that this truck is a great pre-owned and uncommon color combination Land Rover. Serviced and ready to enjoy for decades to come, or to further restore its minor cosmetic flaws or to make a camp or off road truck. It's LOW miles and ready to go another 100k++ miles. Treat yourself to this truck, that you will not have to dump TONS of money into in this NO RESERVE AUCTION! There is well over $5k in recent scheduled and preventive service alone in this truck so you are ready to go another 100k+++ of care free miles. Don't buy an unserviced truck for a little less than spend 2 times as much to get it to this level of service! Feel free to ask me any questions at all. Residents around the country I am happy to be flexible for your arranged shipper so that you can get your new truck as soon as possible. CA residents, registration recently expired, but I will deduct the expired registration cost from the final auction price so you will pay exactly what is fair! My standard disclaimer/mantra for any car regardless of service or price: The truck is sold with no warranty. You are buying a used car. Eventually every car will break, if you find one that doesn't please let me know. I do my ABSOLUTE BEST to offer only cars that are of TOP NOTCH service. I am not a dealer, just a guy who loves Rovers (among other cars) and hope to pass along my passion and fervor for these trucks. That said if ever you encounter an issue I do my best to provide advice, direction or even parts if I have them. Please understand that it is a used car and will have minor signs of use. That means please do not expect a showroom brand new truck. Please adjust your expectation level to that of a 110,000 mile truck that however is above average for its year with some minor cosmetic flaws. Please only bid if you intend to buy. If you would like to have eBay 3rd party mechanic service check out the truck I more than welcome it. Please check your local laws and registration procedures before buying. Please ask any and all questions ahead of purchase. All sales are final, you are buying as-is, the sky is blue, etc, etc. Sorry to have to give the boring speech. Please feel free to ask any and all questions!! Happy Rover-trails!!!! |

With a new Jaguar and the Shell app, your car can pay for its own gas
Wed, Feb 15 2017Contactless 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

Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay
Wed, Sep 30 2020ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.  Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover
