1998 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4.6 I purchased this car in 2011 and am the 4th owner. I have meticulously repaired and maintained the car with the idea of keeping it forever. After recently acquiring more toys, my garage space has become limited so unfortunately she needs to find a new home. I will do my best to detail everything about the car. I have spent lots of time and money to keep her in great shape so the sale is a bit bitter-sweet for me. I have invested well over $8,000.00 in the last three years into the car. Condition of car: Engine runs strong, does not smoke or burn oil, she runs well for 179k miles. Transmission run well and shifts through all gears. Both front differentials have been replaced with low mileage used units, filled with synthetic fluid and use a disco magnetic drain plug to accumulate debris and extend life. Both front wheel bearing/hubs have been replaced (expensive parts). All electronic system work and function properly while there are (NO CODES) or dash lights indicating any errors or repairs needed. I have only 1 key but key fob works great.I also have the original Land rover leather book in the glove box with the manual. Paint is in decent to good shape and is original although she has a few dings and small scratches as most 16 year old cars would have. I would give the paint a 7 out of 10 as I am a stickler for detail. I have made my best attempt to show the imperfections in my pictures in the spirit of full disclosure. Interior is good, there are some scratches on the door panels from a previous owners dog but could be easily repaired by a interior specialist. Leather seats are in good shape with no tears. Rear seats are perfect while the fronts are decent but could use a redye to get back to original condition. Brakes have been replaced and serviced all around (pads and rotors). Headlights have been updated with XENON HID and I have the original lights if you want to revert back to OEM. Front side markers have been updated to euro white style and the front yellow markers are replaced with VALEO OEM Japanese style clear markers (Very hard to find). By getting rid of the yellow in the front of the car it has more Euro look. Every component has been replaced or rebuilt in the air suspension system and works like a charm. I am including a extra rebuilt EAS pump in the sale. Many people tear out the beautiful air suspension systems in these cars because they have a hard time fixing the systems. If you know P38's, part of the beauty of this car is its ride quality and self leveling air suspension. When loading 6 or more people + luggage the ride is instantly adjusted so the car is riding at the perfect height. Tires are new Firestone Destination ST with about 60-70% tread left. The tires are a great balance - they are very quite on the highway but handles well in rain and snow. Its the perfect all weather tire for the car. Rims are in great shape for the original Mondial's and have not been repainted or harshly curbed. There are a few scuffs on the edges of a few of the rims but overall they are in great shape. AC blows cold, compressor is new and system has been recently charged. Exhaust has been updated with a $650 stainless steel Magnaflow system. Cats have been replaced with Magnaflow system as well so in essence new exhaust from the manifold back. Fuel injectors where upgraded with Bosch Gen3 for better gas mileage. I have spent over $8,000.00 in the last three years bringing this car to great mechanical condition.

There is a very light scratch on the front left side of the bonnet as shown in pictures. I have also included a video link to see and hear the car running. VIDEO 1 The only existing issue I know of is the drivers door lock tumbler works intermittently however its not an issue as the keyfob works flawlessly to enter/exit and lock the car. I think its just a loose connector rod in the door. Other than that the car is in great shape, everything works as it should and the car drives well. The rear hatch has been debadged, but I have the Original Land Rover badge and will include with the auction. Auction starts at $3,200 with no reserve.
