This is a 2001 Land Rover Discovery with approximately 132,300 miles.(still driven a couple miles a week) It is PA inspected until July 31, 2013.
I have no use for a truck of this type as I am newly single and hunting for a sportscar...
This Discovery is a great truck if you have a need for this type of vehicle. There is no question in my mind this truck will drive through anything thrown it's way. There could be plenty of snow left this winter.
The Discovery models were known to have at least three common failures and this truck has had those three, shuttle valve switch, front driveshaft, and crankshaft position sensor all changed within the last 1200 miles.

The pictures don't really do the truck justice as I took them on a rainy winter evening, but the truck has great looks with only a few minor annoyances as follows:
MAJOR PROBLEMS: NONE
MINOR PROBLEMS: keyfob doesn't function properly(alarm)and is beat up looking (actual key works fine and can set and disarm alarm via turning the lock)
Headliner is sagging here and there
Drivers seat is a little funky,(leather cracked on bottom and wobbles)
occasional check engine light for evap leak believed to be gas cap (didn't want to buy a land rover branded one ($40) and didn't trust aftermarket($9) It only comes on every now and again and only when the tank is low
The bottom line is that this is a great truck that has plenty of life left and I encourage anyone that is interested in buying it to come take a look.
I always run my car auctions as a true auction at no reserve, the highest price bidder will get this vehicle. I also always run my auctions "as is, where is".
If you are uncomfortable with buying a vehicle "as is, where is", skip this auction or by all means come and look at it and give it a test drive. I will be available for some portion of hours every day of this auction. I encourage anyone able to come see the truck in person.
This auction is being ran at NO RESERVE, High bidder will get the vehicle. I anticipate this vehicle to hit in the range of $3000-$4000
The truck is great, I see no reason why this car can't be driven cross-country (if you can afford the gas)
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Look at the awesome autocheck score and my impeccable feedback and bid with confidence.

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.
Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
