2004 Discovery 2 HSE 83K Miles 2-Owner Vehicle No Reserve!!! Introduction: Here she is folks: your low-mile, accident free, rust free, smoker-free, female owned, top of the line, fully serviced HSE Land Rover Discovery. Now if you can say all of that in one breath, get ready - we’re only just beginning! She is absolutely the best 04’s available right now and no wonder – she my wife’s truck! This family truck has come with us back to the east coast on a recent extended holiday to visit family before continuing abroad for several months… which means there’s no cross-country shipping for you to consider as she’s already here! Since our arrival in March, she’s been protected in a heated 3 car garage and is every bit the California Girl she’s always been. With the 2004’s taking center stage as one of the best Land Rover’s ever built, your chance to grab this exceptional example of this exceptional year model has been made that much easier!!! Don’t miss this one! Service and Reliability: Many of you know I race Land Rovers – as such, all of the care and insight that goes into a career spanning almost 20 years now gets poured into each and every one of my trucks to make them the best they can be. • 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 value • Set of 5 Brand New BFG KO2 All Terrains (stock factory size). $1200 value • Brand New factory radiator and Genuine low temp t-stat fitted. $850 value • Brand New factory waterpump, fan clutch, t-body seal kit, tri-hose assembly (top and bottom) $800 value • 30K 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 value • ABS System Service – Full system flush and brake fluid renewal, SVS service with new module. $650 value • AC System Service. $350 value • Brand new Genuine Rotors with Organic race pads fitted all around. $1650 value • Brand New Heavy Duty Front Bumper fitted. $650 value • Brand new headliner installed, ebrake and center diff handles redone. $500 value • Concourse Quality Vehicle Detail. $400 value • CLEAN California Title, Amazing CARFAX history, always a California Truck, Passed New California Star-Smog certification with flying colors Priceless! Styling and Options: She’s a gorgeous truck, period. Adding to the overall look are the Genuine body guard moldings, the HSE-only (“Borrego” Style) wheels, and the formidable front bumper. A black interior is nearly impossible to keep this clean, but if you’ve scanned first to the pictures, there’s no mistaking the fanatical attention paid to cleanliness. The Jet Black interior is clean and smoke free – with the only detectable smell being that “new-car” type scent that comes with the fitment of a new headliner and complete detail and leather care. The Zambezi Silver paint is one of the most popular for the vintage and next to the White offered that year it is next in line for overall longevity. They blues and blacks and reds tend to fade. The heavy duty front bumper here is a winner for many reasons: the original D2 front bumpers were all hollow core plastic shells. The ones that miraculously survive to the day have been sanctified in some Rover shrine in an alternate realm – even used – a perfect original 03/04 bumper sells for north of $1000. And of course… would break the next day when someone hits it with a shopping cart in the parking lot. So for me… when the original front bumper on this truck had the typical wear and tear I decided for an upgrade. These slimline front bull bars are light and virtually indestructible. So whether you have plans to fit a winch and see her as an overland build, or if you’re just looking for long term safety with an enhanced safari feel, this is the only way to fly. Air suspension – isn’t that a Range Rover feature? Yup. But there were a few Disco 2’s that had it offered within a variety of packages. The comfort level of the ride in this truck is excellent and will make you a believer. It does not leak or sag and functions perfectly at the touch of a button. The compressor is quiet and no matter how much gear or family you pile into the back of this truck, it will always level to the correct ride height as opposed to appearing “saggy” as the coil sprung D2’s do when loaded with gear. The air conditioning is ice cold and the heat is great too. She’s an undeniable 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... The headlights are perfectly clean and are one of my favorite features of the 03/04 vintage. 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. The HSE woodwork is clean and dark. The carpets and mats are still soft to the touch. The engine bay, door jambs, wheel arches and so forth are clean and rust free. Performance and Operation: Effortless, powerful, comfortable driving is what awaits you with this truck. Autolocks, remote, windows, door handles, lights, seats, HVAC controls, factory stereo ALL. WORK. PERFECTLY. …and yes… cruise control works perfect, too!!! The steering is crisp, the suspension, as mentioned is plush, and the drivetrain has been fully serviced making it a total blast to drive. …and did I mention that REAR PARK ASSIST works awesome too!!! 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 shimmies, shakes, or drivetrain vibrations of any kind. The cabin, even at speed, is wonderfully quiet and the factory audio is crisp and powerful – windows up or down! There are no ticks/knocks or noises and there are no overheating or oil pressure issues with the motor. In fact, I now make it common practice to install the lower temp thermostat on all D2’s to shave off 10-15 degrees from their running temperature. D2’s typically run around 195 degrees. This t-stat is also a genuine part (designed for sub-Sahara locales) and keeps them running at 180 degrees. 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. Not only that – with race inspired upgrades in hardware this truck has GREAT stopping power and with every hour put on her, the system continues to bed-in and increase in performance 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! A final complimenting touch here is the complete ownership materials package INCLUDING the Land Rover’s “Little Green Book.” A fantastic literary and visual companion… about 60 pages worth of adventure & insight that have defined the Land Rover lifestyle for nearly 70 years… Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me: Please read my outstanding feedback from folks like you! No one sends off a Land Rover or Range Rover 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 won’t find that anyplace else – although more and more of late, many try to copy. Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I list here with my collection. 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 FAMILY 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 my copy cats. It has come to my attention that people claim they work with/partner with me. This is not true. If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me!!! THE IDEA OF "NEW TO ME VS. A NEW CAR" New cars have warranties because… new cars break! What lines the service bays of Rover dealerships around the world? I’m willing to bet a lot of you know! While I am VERY proud of each and every Rover that I hand select and hand-craft, the vast majority of them are 20+ years old. As amazing as all of them are, i wouldnt ever say any of them are "perfect." None of them are and I have only used the term museum piece ONCE – and I am well aware of the qualifiers for that monicker. These trucks, as refreshed as they are, are assemblies of new parts, used parts, remanufactured parts and ORIGINAL parts. They are all, to quote a mentor of mine: “Ships of Theseus.” With each and every listing, i try to capture the flavor of what strikes me about each vehicle. I try to capture their essence. I try to make the description feel like a conversation between you and I, or even a phone call. Covering the general and intimate details that stand out to me. That said, we all know that while they 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. If you feel like I have passed by something, I hope that it’s evident I have no problems with expounding on details. 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 without warranty or exception and there are no refunds. That said, there are not any GROSS ISSUES that concern me about her overall reliability, cosmetics and functionality. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – ASK AWAY! Your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. In fact, I would insist, pending any substantial investment that this service be taken seriously. 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 sending ownership materials and payment. The time to understand your states “out of state” registration process is now. Nothing is more of a buzz kill than getting your dream truck delivered, and then being informed that you needed to have out of state vehicle transfer form 247-1 stamped and notarized on a full moon 3 months prior etc etc etc… Lets figure out what you need now! We fly out in May so there's plenty of time to coordinate getting her to ya! Who is this truck for? Summer is coming and so are all the awesome regional rallies. Your ultimate luxury build platform is staring right at you! Additionally, she’s poised for the person looking to find their introduction to the Land Rover Lifestyle as a daily driver or special weekend adventure car. Whatever the case is, there’s plenty of time to get her home in time for the upcoming summer season - to be enjoyed to the fullest then and beyond. Good luck, happy bidding, and as always, HAPPY ROVERING!!!
