Im offering up my personally owned 2003 Land Rover Discovery II SE w/80k miles for sale or your best reasonable cash offer. I have owned the truck for just over a year and recently bought a full-sized truck for work and no longer have a need for the Discovery. This is a 100% legitimate 2 Owner vehicle with no BS stories, Im in contact with the original owner and neither of us have ever spare any expense in the service of this Discovery and by all means I consider this a RARE find in a Discovery. If you make me an offer, please send me a telephone number to call you prior to accepting your offer I will call you...


History

I'm a self proclaimed Rover junkie and have owned several Discovery's and Range Rovers over the past 10 years. I'm extremely familiar with all their pro's and con's of ownership and this Discovery was purchased after several months of looking for the right Discovery with a 100% CLEAN history. The Discovery was originally purchased in Hawaii by a gentleman who was in Hawaii as a Red Cross Volunteer. When his volunteer term ended he shipped the vehicle back to the states where it was donated back to the Red Cross to be sold at a charity auction where the proceeds benefitted the Red Cross. I heard about the truck through a friend of mine in Atlanta, GA and went to the Red Cross event and purchased the truck and brought it home to Panama City Beach, FL. At the time of purchase the Discovery had 59k miles.

The Exterior

The exterior is in near flawless condition, the paint shows with a near showroom shine and has a deep gloss and reflection. The truck has never had any previous paint or body work and literally has maybe 2 door dings on the entire body. There is a couple of light scratches on the passenger rear corner but these could easily be buffed out, they are not deep or all that bad. There are two minor dings on either side of the upper rear of the truck, above the taillights. You would likely never notice them unless I pointed them out. The worst part of the exterior is the front center bumper cover section is cracked and broke in a few places (see pics). In person you can hardly notice because the truck is black and the under portion is black so it is kind of hard to spot unless your looking for it. This is a very common thing for a 03-04 Discovery...

The Interior

The interior much like the exterior is near flawless and has NEVER been smoked in. The leather is in excellent condition and shows with very little wear. The carpets have been covered with the original factory heavy rubber floor mats preserving the carpet in like new condition. The rear cargo area has the factory original cargo cover which is rare to find a Discovery with the cargo cover. The headliner is brand new and less than a week old. I went with a black headliner to offset the gray and it looks great. The interior is in like new condition and shows extremely well, near showroom condition when its cleaned up.

Mechanically

Mechanically the truck is 100% solid and I can write a novel on all the service work I have done to the truck in the year I have owned it. I bought the truck with 59k and at 62k the original 4.6 Litre developed a tick that by 64k became more of a knock. The 03-04 4.6 litre motors are known for slipping cylinder sleeves (google it) causing the motor to tick/knock. I purchased a used 2002 4.0 litre with 43k miles and had it installed in the Discovery and the factory ECU reprogrammed for the 4.0 litre. There is literally no difference in the way the truck drives or pulls a trailer. I have the paperwork for the motor and motor swap which indicates the miles on the used motor and the Discovery at the time of installation.

The tires are all Michelins with easily 70% or more treadwear remaining. I also had the rear brakes done about 2 months ago with new pads and rotors, most recent oil change was about 2 weeks ago and I always run 15w 40 Rotella in it. The Discovery hits the road PERFECT with no shakes, vibrations, pulling, or anything out of the ordinary. The Discovery does not have any indicator lights on, although the check engine light is known to come on and off depending on 2 common reasons, 1. the gas cap not being on tight or 2. an O2 sensor that I think is on its way out. It's off more than it comes on, however the gas cap can be tricky at times.

Overall

Overall in my opinion the Discovery is a rare find due to the low miles, 2 owners, and service history. It's hard to find a clean Discovery thats hasnt had a million owners, and with a complete service history and been this well cared for. I'm only selling it because my work needs have changed and need something that will pull a much heavier load than my boat or jet skis...

Payment

For payment I'm requiring a 20% NON-REFUDABLE deposit within 48 hours of the close of the sale and remaining balance within 5 days form the end of the sale. I will accept bank to bank wire transfers and verifiable cashiers checks only, no exceptions. I owe a little bit of money on the Discovery so my credit union has a lien on the electronic title. Once payment in full has been made the credit union will release the lien and the electronic title can be printed within 48 hours.

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos

Wed, Oct 17 2018

Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.

Jaguars and Land Rovers to feature in 007's Spectre

Mon, Feb 9 2015

James Bond may be more closely associated with Aston Martin, but Jaguars and Land Rovers have featured in 007 movies new and old. Skyfall, the most recent installment in the series, opened with Bond and Moneypenny ripping through the streets of Istanbul in a Defender and saw M being chauffeured around London in an XJ. And the upcoming feature Spectre is set to feature some of JLR's finest as well. While Bond himself will be piloting the new Aston Martin DB10, the movie will also feature a Jag and a couple of Landies. The Jaguar C-X75 concept, as we know, will be part of a chase scene against the DB10, now revealed to be set in Rome. But the movie will also include the new Range Rover Sport SVR (with what looks like some auxiliary lighting) and at least two Defenders modified by JLR Special Operations to "Big Foot" specifications with 37-inch off-road tires, upgraded suspensions and added bodywork protection. As you may recall, a couple of months ago a fleet of nine vehicles used in the film were stolen from a garage in Dusseldorf, including five Range Rover Sports. This is the first confirmation we're seeing of any of them being SVR models, or of the Big Foot Defenders being part of the mix as well. The scenes including the Land Rovers have already been filmed in Austria, and we're looking forward to seeing them all on the silver screen come November.

Broccoli's EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment. These will include the Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and Defender Big Foot, which have been provided by Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations. The Jaguar C-X75 will feature in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside the Aston Martin DB10. The C-X75 vehicles used in filming have been built in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering facility in Oxfordshire, England.

Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper

Thu, Feb 25 2021

Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all.  But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point.  Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8.  While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
