I bought this truck on 1/14/05, sticker was $38 and by the time it was paid off in 2009 I paid $43,000. It has 7000 miles on it from driving back and forth to CA where this car was driven for 3 yrs until I moved back to Ny in August. This car was purchased for my X wife while I lived in South Merrick,NY in case we had kids. Since then (6/05) I used it as my third car as I decided to keep it 5 months later! From 6/05 to 9/08 while living in the city the car was kept at a friends home in the hamptons and was used on wknds only for daily drives. Winter of 08 I moved to LA where the car was kept far from any ocean and was my 3rd car while living therE. It was hardly used but always maintained. August /12 I moved back to NY and because of hurricane Sandy I lost my business and have to move to another city (Chicago) where I wont need a car once again. I need the money to make the move instead and now use different transportation and have no need for a car. This truck comes with automatic start (great for cold or hot weather!). This truck was NEVER in an accident and everything is original besides the electric start! *I literally know nothing about cars, Im going to tell you everything I know and what issues I know the car does have. I must move in 3 wks for a new job, this truck must be gone by then. **My reserve is low, Ive left room for shipping fees on your end. As well as what ever needs to be fixed.**
Problems with the car: The back left tail light needs to be replaced- the left side door; I was driving in LA and rubbed against the big round pipe that sits in front of the gas pump. In LA the talent of women is abundant and it was when I first moved there. As I was pulling away my eyes moved to the right as my car was turning left pulling away from the pump and I cut it short and pushed in the door. She noticed as others did and it was quite embarring as everyone knew what happened, she was that incredible!! I have been pulled over atleast ten times in LA and NY for someone to punch out the door and fix it- offers ranged from $150-$400 I guess it depended on my dress attire for that day.- Back seat; for some reason I cant fully push it back? It was fine until in August/12 I needed to move something and dropped the seat and that was that. All seats are in great condition with no tears or holes. Backseat middle seat belt was cut, 5 yrs ago it got stuck and I got frustrated and cut it, bad decision but whats done is done. Front moonroof; Hasn't opened in 2 yrs, I was told I needed to clean out some hole, (why theres a hole is beside me) leaves got in the hole and clogged it? No idea and was ok with it not working. My other car is a convertible and I had a motorcycle at the time. Front left fender area; someone's car seems to have rubbed up against it but its not dented, you can rub it out, that didn't bother me either. All minor issues that can easily be fixed.
On Oct 27th Hurricane Sandy hit, fortunately I went to stay in the city with a friend of mine up on 80th st on the 26th of Oct the day before, (my other car not as fortunate -vintage corvette). On the 28th I drove back into Long Island with supplies, food and gas! I helped as many people as I could for the next 3 days. I did drive this truck through some water that was up to my tires but I felt it was worth it to get people to safer grounds! On 11/05/12 I received a picture ticket: I took a pic of the ticket. NY was still is distress at the time and bridges where down still ( I was helping a family get to a better place) to my surprise I received the ticket over a month later. I took the car off the road in Dec as I couldn afford the insurance anymore with no income coming in (I pay $350 a month). The car was started every wk if not 2-4 times a wk depending on the weather that wk. The car drives well, tires are great, ZERO water got into the engine (it was checked by my mechanic after what help I could offer) all windows work, all lights work, zero exterior damage besides whats listed, no interior damage besides whats listed, all electronics work, BUT: some symbols pop up on the dashboard when I turn the car on, they blink? The light by the shifter blinks when normally it would stay solid red when in gear. Since I dont need the car anymore I have no reason to get fixed what ever needs to be fixed. Im selling the car as is and will not be held responsible for what ever issues the car may have. It could just be a switch or circuit or whatever its called that needs to be replaced or could be something more. I do know this, the engine 1000% is fine and the car itself is great! As far as electronics, the lights blinking I do not know what that is! I drove the car today (4/17/13) around the block and it drove fine, lights blinking and all. Please call me at 516.889.1729 for any further questions, Gary. This is for pickup only or I will work with you for it to be picked up. I sold my motorcycle to a gentleman in Saigon before leaving LA and that went off with no problems! Thanks for looking!

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
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.
