2003 Discovery 2 SE 87K miles One Owner truck!!! $40,000 in Service Receipts!!! Introduction: This truck is AMAZING. It looks brand-new. It’s been judiciously serviced. It has only had only one female owner who paid for the car twice... $39,000 when it was new... and $40,000 worth of dealership service to keep it like new always - yes i'm serious!!! The only reason why she is made available is because the previous owner purchased a brand new Range Rover. If you have been doing your research or have at least seen them around town, then you know that the ‘03/’04 Discovery’s are the final model years of this beloved body style and as such, come with all of the refinement, upgrades and options that were developed along the way in the 15 year run of the Discovery. They sat next to the new generation of full-size Range Rovers in the show-room, and they offer a lot of their upgrades to that legendary model. This particular truck, as you will read below, is at the top of its class with its EXECUTIVE LEVEL appearance and PEERLESS servicing profile. Service and Reliability: Well the commitment to service here is obvious... $40K worth. You will not find this anywhere else. That means every part that it came from England with, was replaced with factory parts when serviced. Below are just some of the exhaustive highlights including her most recent: Complete 3 angle valve job and head gasket service including: cooling system fluid flush and renewal, head gasket renewal, head stretch bolt renewal, intake resealed, valve covers resealed, throttle body de-ice plate resealed, exhaust system resealed, engine oil and filter renewed. $2250 valueBrand New factory radiator. $850 value30K mile interval service including: genuine spark plugs, New STI spark plug wires, New air element, New Belt, Differential fluids renewed, transfer case fluid renewed, transmission fluid renewed, all safety components inspected and adjusted to factory spec. $895 valueABS System Service – Full system flush and brake fluid renewal, new shuttle valves installed, new master cylinder installed. $550 valueAC System Service. $350 valueBrand new factory hoses installed. $250 valueUpgraded front timing cover installed, new oil pump installed, front cover resealed. $850 valueBrand new genuine brake pads and rotors installed all around. $1400 valueNewly Fitted Set of General Grabber tyres. $800 valueBrand new headliner installed. $400 valueConcourse Quality Vehicle Detail. $400 valueClean California title, 1 owner, Excellent CARFAX-Certified One owner history (valued $2250+ KBB) & passed new stringent California Star-Smog certification with flying colors. Priceless! Styling and Options: If you’ve scanned ahead to the pictures, you are no doubt excited by how immaculate this truck is. It looks like a brand new vehicle. And honestly, it looks and feels better in person! The original Vienna Green paint finish is totally unique and gets envious looks everywhere it goes... The Alpaca leather interior is also exceptionally clean with Ash carpets still being soft, and the leather seats looking and even smelling like new. Even the two tone Ash hand stitched seering wheel is immaculate and tight as if no one ever held it!!! The air conditioning is ice cold and the heat is great too. Around town in Beverly Hills, this vehicle is a total head turner and with all of its recent servicing and transmission in selectable “Sport” mode, I can leave even the new full sized Range Rovers in my dust when the light turns green. The ‘03/’04 ONLY instrument cluster owes its aggressive styling to the performance and engineering accomplishments of BMW, the company which owned Land Rover from ’99 through ‘04. If you look ahead to the LR3 clusters you may just find another genetic influence... Included in the literature package is the original window sticker, owners manual, and of course, the service file of $40K worth of dealer receipts. Rounding out the sleek look of this vehicle is one of my PERSONAL favorite options: the upgraded advanced headlight assemblies. Not only do they project a beam pattern that was years ahead of its time, the lamp assembly itself includes two vertical amber side markers; a final nod to the Discovery’s heritage and evolution from the first Series Vehicles of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. It’s a really cool fusion of the original Land Rover design with the final years of the original lineage. If we are to nit-pick here "trying" to find cosmetic flaws, you will find a chip in the front bumper - just above the license plate - typical for the 03/04 bumper style. There are also two small road chip style blemishes beneath the headlights. As pictured. But if these are "problems" with a Land Rover Discovery, we should all be so lucky!!! Performance and Operation: EVERYTHING WORKS. Autolocks, windows, door handles, lights, sunroofs, seats, HVAC controls, Factory stereo ALL. WORK. PERFECTLY. …and yes… cruise control works perfect, too!!! The steering is crisp, the suspension is tight, and the drivetrain has been fully serviced making it totally reliable. Hit the gas and this truck powers on to the freeway with total confidence and BEGS you to push beyond 100mph. There are absolutely no shimmes, shakes, clunks, vibrations or wanderings of any kind. The cabin, even at speed, is wonderfully quiet and the OEM stereo delivers concert like quality sound – windows up or down! The suspension is plush and quiet, the steering is absolutely crisp. There is a common sentiment that Disco’s will never have great stopping power. This truck proves that statement wrong and illustrates how great of an ABS system it is, when properly serviced. This truck has GREAT stopping power. If you need to emergency stop with this truck, you can literally stand it on its nose. On a final note, this gorgeous truck is leak free – so go ahead and put her on your nice driveway so you can always enjoy a good look at her out the front window! Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me: Please read my outstanding feedback from folks like you! No one sends off a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands. The commitment to service here is a commitment to my own passion and to a shared bond between enthusiasts. You wont find that anyplace else. Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my collection. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Rover without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do, too. To that point - watch out for copy cats. It has come to my attention that people claim they work with/partner with me. This is not truck. If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me!!! THE IDEA OF "NEW TO ME VS. A NEW CAR" I am VERY proud of each and every Rover that I hand select and hand-craft. As amazing as all of them are, i wouldnt ever say any of them are "perfect." I have only used the term museum piece ONCE. And i am well aware of the qualifiers for that monicker. With each and every listing, i try to capture the flavor of what strikes me about each vehicle. I try to capture thier essence. While thay are all Rovers, all made in the same place, each one is different. It is not possible to discuss every nut and bolt, but I have done my best to list and discuss what would matter to ME. Let me know what matters TO YOU. While she may soon be “new to you” she is “not new” and you should be prepared for all that is involved with owning a used vehicle. She is sold as-is. No more should be expected. There is not ANYTHING that concerns me here; if there was, I would tell you. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – ASK AWAY! There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction. Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition. Who is this truck for? If you have been patient, researching, waiting, passing on others because you HOPED that maybe someday a truck like this would surface... well it has... and won't soon again. One owner, female owned, dealership serviced vehicles like this are worthy of Rover-mythology. So whose she for then? This truck has distinction written all over it and seams to call out to the newbie and collector alike. She is a TOTAL pleasure to drive and would be a fantastic daily driver. A "cars & coffee" weekend head turner. A seasonal holiday or guest vehicle and absolutely a fantastic candidate for a luxury off road build project; imagine it with a tasteful lift and tyres, completed with color matched winch and rear bumpers!!! Whatever the fancy, this is the stuff that Rover dreams are made of... don't miss out. Good Luck and Happy Rovering!!!
