1999 Land Rover Discovery 2 Fully Serviced One Family Low Mile Vehicle!!!! on 2040-cars
Beverly Hills, California, United States
1999 Land Rover Discovery 2 – 106K miles Featured with ACE, EAS, and Non SAI!!! Introduction:
This is a clean, excellent family Rover with tons of servicing. Whether you are looking to get into one for the first time, or are the seasoned enthusiast, you will LOVE this clean low mile RUST FREE TRUCK. This truck is a one family client who has brought it to me for servicing over the years and recently decided to sell it to me as part of their plan to get an LR4… I have a lot to say about this truck so get ready:
Service and Reliability:
As factory a trained, certified technician gone independent, I pride myself on making sure that all of my client’s trucks and restoration projects receive the finest service with genuine parts and expert skill. The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible – this has become my signature eBay service list:
Vehicle Driving and Features:
Let me talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL. ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover. It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck. On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck. ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension. Next – Rear Air Suspension. This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME. The same goes for towing. I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable. Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service. Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!
The cabin is quiet and odor free. This was a NON SMOKER truck. The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.
Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners. It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles! As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day. I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.
Purchasing and Perspective:
If you brought this truck to me and did all of the servicing that I have listed, you would EASILY SPEND $7K+ to service this truck. Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER. WHENEVER. I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term. Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it! When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years. You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck. That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.” They need to be maintained. They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance. While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly. No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that. In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior. The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove. While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny. This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors). I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!” This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector. Obviously, I spend a lot of time writing these ad's trying to give you a sense of each Rover's unique profile. I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!! There is no question too small or obscure. This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition. Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand! Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!! That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time. I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available.
Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK. Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY. Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit.
I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica. One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!). I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare. Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there. If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME. Don’t settle for less.
This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go. There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!!

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
