Up for sale is my beloved 1997 Land Rover Discovery SD. It is in running condition, with a few dings and dents. No reserve! The good: Engine runs strong. Only a little bit of rust in the wheel wheels (Common for Rovers). Leather interior in good condition, no rips or tears. Heated seats work. Jump seats in back. It passed last year's NY State inspection. 4wd is operable. Starts, rides, runs well. JVC stereo with AUX input. Comes with an extra set of 4 snow tires in great shape. It has a new-ish exhaust system. Cared for by Derrick Karabec at Beek's motors... noted for his expertise in British cars. Unstoppable in snow, mud, or locusts. The bad: Missing left rear bumper corner (Pictured). Ignition key is sticky, takes a week to get used to it, then no problem. A bit of rust in wheel wells. Tires ok, but probably could use some new ones soon. It has been sitting for a few months, so battery is a little weak. A few dings and dents, but nothing major whatsoever. (No creasing in metal) Shift lever plastic is cracked (Pictured). Stereo has a buzzing noise, needs grounding. Front right blinker plastic cracked. ABS light goes on and off intermittently. ABS is fine, according to mechanic, but light will come on for no apparent reason. This would make a good daily driver or a great parts car. Everything is in order as far as my knowledge. Clear title in hand. Deposit via PayPal of $200 within 48 hours of auction end. Remaining balance via PayPal, cash, or money order within 7 days of auction close. I can hold car for up to 30 days if paid in full. Shipping or pickup is the responsibility of the purchaser. The car is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Spare wheel cover is NOT included with auction! Good luck, and thanks for looking!

I don't know if this is from sitting, or something else. Normally in a Rover of this age, it would point to the O2 sensor, which is an easy fix. However, it will not pass NY State inspection if this is the problem. Thanks, and please bid accordingly.
