2004 Land Rover Discovery Se7 | 116k Miles on 2040-cars
Corona del Mar, California, United States
|
General Info: I am a late 20s landscape architect selling my Disco so I will have the cash needed to support myself for a few months while I grow my new business. I have owned this car since February 2011 and absolutely love it. It drives great, I feel very safe, it's stylish - classic yet hip, it holds the whole crew, reasonable insurance, the list goes on. I really hate to let it go but I feel having the cash would be more useful than having wheels at this point. But I can guarantee as soon as my business is off the ground, I will buy another '04 SE7 - it so great of a car I will always have one. As stated above, I have owned this Disco since 2011. At the time I was driving a 2010 Mercedes C300 manual. While it was a lovely car, I needed more space and knew if I was going to get an SUV, the '04 seven seater Disco would be my only choice. A Newport Beach resident, I scoured Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties in search of SE7's. I found a mere 10-15 options in all of Southern California. After driving to see each one of them in person, choosing this Disco to purchase was an easy decision. Most were in poor condition and being sold by tiny seedy "dealerships" in the not so nice parts of town. This one, however, was pristine and being sold by the Jeep dealership in San Diego a few miles from Pacific Beach. Once I found this beautiful example of a Disco, I drove the Benz back to Newport, parked it, took a $200 cab ride to San Diego, and bought the vehicle. For two and half years, I drove it to the office five days a week as well as around town and the occasional Palm Springs or LA road trip on the weekends. During that period I had no problems at all - mechanical or cosmetic. But then...here's the game changer...I started a furniture business on the side. Once I began transporting furniture in the Disco, it's condition went from "excellent" to "great" to now just "good". First, I cracked the windshield with a side table. Then I made a hole in the back inside plastic with an armoire. And just general wear and tear cracked one jumpseat back and detached another. In addition to the three "whoops" my furniture moving caused, there are two more. First, in late September, my neighbor hit the front bumper taking a chunk out of the top it in. Then, three days later, I backed into one of those yellow poles that protects mechanical equipment. That whoops cracked the bumper and shattered the plastic that covers the back brake and reverse lights. Fortunately, the only reason I would give this car a mere "good" rating is because of the minor cosmetic damage I caused. And this damage seems easily fixable. I called and both bumpers as well as the windshield can be fixed at your home - you don't have to take the vehicle anywhere if you don't want to. And the jump seats covers just snap back on. A little time and a few bucks and you could easily take this Rover back to the "pristine" condition it was in six months ago.
*I am a landscape architect, not an auto mechanic. I do not know anything about accessing vehicle condition. I do, however, know this car. It has been my daily driver for almost three years. I am familiar with the way it runs just as I am familiar with the way my own body runs. To me, it runs just a smooth as the day I got it and I foresee no immediate problems. But again, I am a not an auto mechanic. Condition (Cosmetic):

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
