MORE INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE SELLER
I have owned this car for 3 years and I absolutely love the look and drive of it. The reason we are selling it is because we are expecting our 3rd child in August and the back wont fit 3 car seats across. We purchased a new expedition and the dealership low-balled us on the trade-in offer so I decided I would just list it for a penny on ebay and let it go for whatever the highest bid is!
The body is totally straight. I think there is one slight dent next to the driver's side door handle (looks like a hail dent). I tried to take a picture but it wouldn't even show up. If there is any other dents then they are so superficial that I have never noticed. As far as the mechanical condition: This is a landrover and these notoriously have high maintenance costs. However, I have used this for three years as a daily driver and have had no major problems. I take it in to our family mechanic 3-4 times a year for minor upkeep type stuff (tune-up, new fuel, pump, new coolant reservoir are the recent stuff that I can think of). Again, nothing major though. Just keep in mind that this is a 2001 landrover with 159,xxx miles on it (will likely have slightly over 160k by the time this auction ends), so bid accordingly. There are no warranties expressed or implied on this auto so please bid accordingly. The mechanic that has worked on this was also the mechanic of the family friend that I purchased this car from (I believe they were the original or 2nd owners of the car) so you can feel free to call him directly and he can let you know the entire mechanical history of this car. His name is Allen and he owns Ross and Greenville automotive on Garland Road (right by White Rock lake). As a separate plug, if you are a Dallas purchaser then you should continue to use him as your mechanic. He is very reasonable and very honest (a rare find for mechanics).
Paint condition - looks great - no peeling or fading or major scratches that I know of at all. I regularly get it cleaned and waxed and it looks like a brand new car from the paint perspective. See the pics or schedule a time to come look at the car for yourself. She's a beauty!
Interior - Grey leather interior. The seats have wear on them, as expected from a 12 year old car but no rips or tears that I know of . No major stains that I know either. The leather housing on the four wheel drive and emergency brake are peeling (see pictures). The steering wheel also has some wear on it. There is a 6-disc CD changer under the passenger seat which I have never even used. The radio works great, the A/C works great (cool and heat).
If you would like to view and/or test drive this auto before bidding then feel free to send me an email and we can arrange a time place to come by. I want you to feel totally comfortable with your bid. AGAIN, it is a great car and I am sad to see it go. It has been very good to us BUT it is 12 years old and does have 160k miles on it so BID ACCORDINGLY.
All other "Negatives" that I can think of:
1) slightly cracked windshield (smaller than a dollar bill) around the registration/inspection stickers (see the pics). This can be repaired very cheaply by filling (should be done before winter or it sill spread). There is also a chip on the passenger side that should also be filled
2) the gas door wont shut all the way (should be easy to fix) - see pictures
3) the key that locks/unlocks the door and turns on/off the alarm is broken (last I checked this was $70 to replace but I never cared). This is needed to fully lock the driver side door. If you lock the door from the inside then it wont lock the driver door (since it is open/closed after you lock). So you will need to replace the key to fully lock the door. This was always garaged parked at work and at home so I never cared enough to replace it
4) lights on the dash - The lights on the dash (service engine, etc) are (and always have been) on. I don't even notice them but I don't want the purchaser to be alarmed about this. This was the main reason that the dealership cited for their low-ball offer. I have taken it to the land rover dealership multiple times to see if this could be remedied but they say this is very common for older land rovers and that nothing was actually wrong and it would be a waste of money to remedy it. It may be something that precludes you from bidding or causes you to be unhappy with the purchase so I just wanted to fully disclose.
5) knobs for the driver side seat came off at some point (though they all work)
6) the button for the horn came off at some point. It was replaced but looks slightly different that the other one (you would probably never know this but I wanted to fully disclose).
7) When the dealership removed the panel to see if they could remedy the "service engine light" condition they lost the screws so they put on some non factory screws which I think looks like crap but you would probably never notice if I didn't disclose it.
That's all I can think of. If I think of anything else then I will add it to this listing.
Bidding notes:
I reserve the right to remove a bid for any bidder that has a feedback score of less than 95% or has more than 2 negative feedback remarks. The reason for this is that I sold a car on eBay about 8 years ago with FULL disclosure and detailed pictures (as I did on this listing) and the winning bidder still tried to reduce the price when he came to pick up the car. I had to go through the trouble of getting that bidder removed from eBay and had to relist the car which was a huge waste of time (although I did get more money on the 2nd listing ;) Nonetheless, please only bid if you are a serious bidder. I have sold a half dozen cars on ebay over the last 12 years and have been extremely happy with the transaction in all cases except this one. If you do not feel comfortable with your bid then please contact me to arrange a time to come look and test/drive the car. I'm not going to accept any transactions outside of eBay so please don't try to offer anything. Whoever has the highest bid wins it, regardless of the price. The winning bidder MUST pay in all cash and must have this car picked up and paid for within 72 hours (3 days) of this auction ending. If not then I will relist the car and report the bidder to eBay promptly (I REALLY don't want to do this because again, it is a huge waste of time so please just pick up the car within 72 hours). If you are having the car shipped then please arrange for this shipping yourself and have the car paid for and picked up within 72 hours.
Happy bidding!

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.
Could Jaguar become an EV-only brand?
Fri, Oct 12 2018Just yesterday we wrote about the Heisenbergian uncertainty surrounding the future of the Jaguar F-Type. A new report in Autocar prompts us to consider extending that ambiguity to the entire Jaguar brand. The UK magazine reports the automaker's product planners have devised a ten-year plan to switch to a pure EV lineup of cars and crossovers. According to Autocar's sources this is a planning exercise and doesn't have the green light, but it's "fairly advanced" and has adherents inside the company. The first shot fired would be an all-electric XJ replacement. That sedan, a "no-holds-barred luxury car" to challenge the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan, would provide emissions-free motoring before the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series come with their EV propositions. Around 2023, an EV crossover a touch larger than the full-sized Audi E-tron would replace both the XF and XE sedans. Two years later, a new mid-sized I-Pace would debut as both the F-Pace and E-Pace fade out. And two years after that, around 2027, the J-Pace luxury crossover would sigh its last ICE gasp. And what about the F-Type? The report says "with no replacement for F-Type in the works," an electric sports car "is also a possibility." There's no mention of the XK revival. Right now, Jaguar sells seven models - four sedans and three crossovers. As the Autocar article's written, come 2027 Jaguar would have an electric XJ sedan, a full-sized EV crossover, the I-Pace, and perhaps an electric sports car. That's a brave new world - one we're not sure Jaguar dealers could survive in. Problem is that Jaguar and its dealers are having plenty of problems now. Chinese-market volatility, the cloud around diesels, and Brexit uncertainty have contributed to a sales slump so dire that Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant is going to a three-day week for the rest of the year. The sales flu has spread to Land Rover, too, the brand's Solihull plant closing for two weeks to realign dealer inventory. Considering all that, and with no easy relief in sight, the product planners are apparently debating whether a new, traditional three-model sedan range is worth the investment. The upside of going all-electric is said to be higher sales, with internal estimates supposing 300,000 units annually. Last year Jaguar sold 178,500 units. The marque could rake in larger profit margins on those sales, too, thanks to premium buyers being ready to shell out big ducats for EVs.
