Hello. Stop everything you are doing. This is the most important ebay ad you will read today; indeed, the most important one you
will ever read. In fact, when, as an elderly person, you look back upon
your life, you will regard the moment you started reading this ad as the
most consequential single instant in your entire life. Not only do you
owe it to yourself to read this ad, see the truck I am selling, buy it
from me, and give me an above market price, but you owe it to your
country, countries, or status as a stateless person (my condolences),
and to the god, gods, or lack of god that you do or do not believe in
(happy holidays). Failure to finish reading this ad will lead to the
premature death of you and all your loved ones.
No pressure. I am selling, and you should buy, a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II. Clear title in hand. It's Desert Tan Metallic. In order to truly understand the enormity of the moral and practical imperatives which make it an urgent necessity that you buy this car, you must first be apprised of information about the model, and about this car in particular. Before you do this, you must be immersed in the English culture from which the Disco originated. Please start playing some dignified Brit music. Now that you are suitably en-musiced, here are some important facts about the Discovery series: Discovery II's run and drive. This is not a property of an individual car, but of most Disco's as a group. Unlike most SUVs, the Disco was not built on an assembly line. They were constructed by hand, outdoors in the fog and rain, by teams of tall, bare-chested Brittish men who swung their tools in a synchronized fashion and chanted automobile-durability incantations in unison while they worked. This is the source of the Discoveries legendary durability. Unlike most cars, the Disco was not designed by professional automotive engineers. Instead, it arrived fully-formed as an inspiration in the mind of the designer while he was ambushed by a sasquatch and trapped under a pile of spotted dick in Downsford Abbey. After he was rescued by the English Bear Cavalry, he returned to work at Land Rover and transcribed, by way of yodeling, his vision onto paper. There are only three known ways to destroy a Land Rover Discovery: 1. Place it in the center of a gasoline tanker explosion and then crush the remains in a hydraulic press 2. Drive it into the fires of Mount Doom, if you are strong-willed enough to part with it. Destroying a Disco in this manner may result in the loss of a finger. 3. E-85 gasoline 4. Don't maintain it. Because the Discovery is the only car capable of withstanding a direct nuclear blast, and cockroaches are the only life form capable of surviving, in the event of a nuclear war, the earth will be populated exclusively by cockroaches driving Discos. You have been warned. When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, God did not give them a car. But if he had, it probably would have been a Discovery. And if it had been, then it would probably still be running today. Maybe. I have owned this amazing specimen for two years. I bought it with 62,000 miles and paid $9,000.00. I immediately had a 60,000 mile service done at Green Oval Motors in Portland, OR. The plug wires were replaced, a MAF sensor and it got all new fluids. I replaced the wimpy and tired stock shocks with proper Bilsteins. Yes they are hello and that doesn't matter until you crawl under the car and see them in all their glory. All service records are available, along with oil change records since I have owned it. Shortly after the 60k service, the head gasket was done, also at Green Oval. (Cost $3K) I replaced the rear brake rotors and pads, put a new battery in her, and converted the crappy airbag suspension with coil springs. (No leaking airbags leaving you stranded) I have the stock alloy wheels as well as the steel Land Rover wheels with tires that have less than 10,000 miles on them. The tread is easily at 90 - 95%. It has right around 77,200 miles now and runs great. The milage may go up a tiny bit as I still sometimes drive the truck. Full Disclosure here. I am going to give you the bad along with the awesome. There is nothing that prevents the function and nothing at all serious. I believe in full disclosure and would love it if all car sellers were as honest as me. There is a small exhaust leak on the right hand side of the motor compartment near the header. If I can trace it, I can fix it. We'll see if I have time. Sometimes the air suspension warning light comes on. This is because it is trying to inflate air springs that are not there. It's a simple computer plug in / update that any certified Land Rover shop can do in about 5 minutes, telling the computer that there is no air suspension. The front brakes will probably need pads / rotors in about 10,000 miles. It's a very easy job and you can do it with a jack and jack stands. Because you have assimilated all the important information above, I assume you are now driven by a passionate urgency to purchase this car, and are making calling me your top priority. Fear not, as I am prepared to take your call at any hour of the day or night. Simply make sure you are sitting down, and call (503) 530-9425 with any questions you may have. |

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list
Thu, Nov 18 2021J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation. Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris: Subaru  WRX and Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."  Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
Check out King Charles III's $17.6 million car collection
Fri, May 5 2023King Charles III's coronation will take place in England on May 6, and being crowned a monarch comes with a long list of perks with four wheels. He will gain full access to the Royal Family's fleet of cars, which is valued at about GBP14 million (approximately $17.6 million). The two most expensive cars in the collection are nearly identical: they're a pair of Bentley State Limousine models (pictured) built for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III's mother, in 2002. Only two units were made, and they're both part of the Royal Family's fleet, so they're difficult to put a value on; it's not like one is going to end up listed on your favorite auction site anytime soon. British company Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, which compiled the list, estimates that each armored, 245-inch long sedan is worth at least GBP10,000,000 (roughly $12.6 million). Dropping below the eight-digit threshold, the second-most-valuable car in the Royal Family's fleet isn't really a car. It's the Gold State Coach, which Matchbox recently released a 1/64-scale replica of, and its value is estimated at GBP1.6 million (about $2 million). At 275 inches long it's even bigger than the Bentley limousine and it weighs about 9,000 pounds. It's 261 years old and designed to be pulled by eight horses, and has been part of every coronation since 1831. The rest of the Royal Family's vehicles are relatively mundane. There's a 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Volante that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip, bought for King Charles III on his 21st birthday. It's worth GBP1 million (about $1.2 million). The collection also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (about $627,000), a Bentley Bentayga (about $201,000), a Land Rover Range Rover long-wheelbase Landaulet ($133,000), a Jaguar XE (about $41,000), and a Land Rover Defender ($38,000). "Luxury cars have long been associated with the monarch and King Charles III, in particular, is known for his fondness of motor vehicles. His impressive collection features sentimental value with motors passed down from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to cars bought for him by his parents," explained Keith Hawes, the director of Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, in an interview with CBS News. Being at the head of a car-making nation's royal family also comes with drawbacks: Every vehicle in King Charles III's fleet is British.
Watch thieves dressed like ninjas hit dealership, steal $583,000 worth of Land Rovers
Fri, Feb 23 2024WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said. Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door. Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole. “Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV. The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said. One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said. Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.” Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects. Six of the nine stolen vehicles have been recovered — four in Chicago, one in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, and one in Wisconsin after the highway crash that led to the 17-year-old's arrest, he said.
