2008 Land Rover Range Rover HSE

Description

This 2008 Land Rover Range Rover HSE is finished in Zermatt Silver over charcoal leather, and it is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and a permanent all-wheel-drive system. This Rover is loaded with equipment including bi-xenon headlights, a power moonroof, 20″ upgraded alloy wheels, a height-adjustable suspension, four-zone automatic climate control, heated and cooled power-adjustable seats, heated rear seats, Harman Kardon audio system, and tow package. Upgrades inside also include pass through ski bag, and retractable dog fence. This Rover runs and drives flawlessly and effortlessly. All electronics work properly including cruise control and the AC blows ice cold. The truck has been a southern vehicle since new. The Carfax report is squeaky clean with lots of maintenance history and zero accidents. 68 detailed photos available in link below!

I have detailed hard copy records and maintenance since 49k miles (see below). I purchased this vehicle from a good friend’s college buddy who is a car fanatic. He maintained the Rover perfectly, and every typical major repair has been completed. These include:
Complete air suspension
Radiator, water pump and components
AC compressor, blower and components
Catalytic converter and oxygen sensors
Just 5k miles ago, I did a full body refresh. This included all new paint and badging. Upgraded clear rear tail lamps. Trim was painted black to match, and new 20” OEM wheels fitted with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 off-road tires were also installed. New smoked LED third tail lamp was also fitted. Recent synthetic oil service, and new brakes (pads/rotors/sensors) were just installed.
OVERVIEW:
This HSE is a cream puff. It has been meticulously maintained and cared for, and it shows. All functions operate correctly as they should, apart from the navigation. The Rover is completely solid on the highway. I have driven it on several road trips in my ownership, and it is one of the most comfortable rides I have ever experienced...even with the off-road tires. I chose these tires because they were the highest rated for comfort and quiet that I had researched.
It turns heads and draws compliments all the time. I would not hesitate to drive this Rover cross country today. Honestly, I would keep the truck if I had garage space, but a newer RR Sport is taking priority.These L322s are quickly becoming a classic in their own right, and the die hard 4.4L engine is often revered as the very best engine Land Rover has ever put into the US market, and avoids all of the issues with the supercharged 4.2L. Here is your chance to own a prime specimen that will likely require minimal maintenance for a long time to come. This Rover is in almost perfect condition!
Interior:
Charcoal perforated leather is in excellent condition with no cracks or tears. Headliner is also in excellent condition with no sagging. Power heated and cooled seats operate perfectly.
Exterior:
Zermatt Silver paint is in almost perfect condition, and only about nine months old. Rover has been garaged. Original OEM bull bar (showing typical wear) installed with two Warn trail lights mounted. Rear OEM tail lamp guards. Yakima full roof basket is mounted on factory roof bars. Underneath is dry as a bone, many detailed photos in link below. Engine and undercarriage have NOT been steam cleaned, in efforts to show there are no leaks, and honest condition.
Imperfections:
Original factory heated windscreen functions properly, but has a few slight chips. These have been addressed/filled by Safelite Auto Glass, but are still slightly visible.
Rear roof rail end cap is missing on passenger side. This can be easily sourced from a salvage yard, I have just not taken the time to find one.
Lower passenger door speaker has a very slight vibration when volume is high. I have not researched this, as it is not noticeable unless volume is higher than I prefer to listen.
Soft-touch coating on rear seat pull down latches is peeling. Soft-touch surfaces everywhere else are in excellent condition. (photos in link below)
Navigation system does not locate vehicle correctly. All functions and touchscreen work perfectly. I have not tried updated navigation discs as I do not use the factory navigation.
Third brake light has slight chip in one corner. This does not affect operation or seal, and is strictly cosmetic.
***Included with this Rover is a Bearmach Hawkeye diagnostic tool (0+ value), as well as a GAP Diagnostic IID tool (0+ value).***
