Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present this top-of-the-range 2008
Land Rover Range Rover powered by a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 and
mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and two-speed transfer
case. It is finished in its original #39;Gray Metallic #39; factory
color paint over Black leather. Additional equipment includes an
electronic Torsen center differential, 20 wheels, air suspension,
bi-xenon headlights, parking assist, tri-zone automatic climate
control, heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats,
navigation, and a Harman Kardon audio system and this very
desirable L322 model has some 87k miles.The 2008-2009 models are
generally believed to be by far and away the best of the L322
generation. The electronics are further refined from the early,
BMW-era cars, the interiors refined and the Jaguar sourced 4.2L
engine does not have the timing chain issues found in the 2010-2012
era 5.0L engine. This truck is finished in its very striking
original #39;Gray Metallic #39; color and features a
Supercharged-specific silver mesh grille, side vents, and dual
exhaust outlets. Additional exterior details include adaptive
bi-xenon headlights with washers, front and rear fog lights, rain
sensing wipers, parking assist, running boards, a power sunroof, a
rear wiper, and a receiver hitch. Silver-finished 20 quot;
nine-spoke wheels are fitted with new Pirelli tires. Stopping power
is provided by Brembo calipers up front and vented discs at each
corner. The truck is equipped with air suspension, Emergency Brake
Assist (EBA), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), and
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).The interior features seating
upholstered in Black leather and Grand Lacquer wood trim accents
the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include
cruise control, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and
ventilated power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, a
split-dual glovebox, a Terrain Response system selector, air
suspension controls, navigation, and a Harman Kardon digital
surround-sound system with six-disc CD changer. The multifunction
steering wheel frames the speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and
gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The 4.2-liter
supercharged V8 produced 400 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque
when new. Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed
automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system with a
two-speed transfer case and electronic Torsen center differential.
For those you who arent aware why these are so valuable, the L322
chassis came out in 2003 (in the States anyway). It was LRs first
unibody chassis, something that BMW absolutely knocked out of the
park (as opposed to the double-duper full unibody on full frame
design of the sports and LR3/4s that made it all the way until
2016, this is why some sports weigh 5,700lbs and some LR4s weigh
6,000lbs).The 2003-2005 cars came with BMW V8s, which are
considered an absolute nightmare and not worth purchasing at any
cost, the interiors seem horrendously dated, and even the exterior
while very similar just doesnt have the nice tweaks the later cars
did. By 2006 - 2009 the rigs were now special in that they got the
JLR 4.4. NA and 4.2 SC motors. These are based on the American
Buick pushrod V8, and besides for some wacky coolant lines (blasted
Y pipe) they are absolutely bulletproof. 250k engines with oil
changes for sure, no wacky timing stuff.2006 was a weird year, the
cars had the updated exterior, engines, some electronics but the
old style interiors and probably best to avoid since they dont
really cost much less than a much better 2007. The 2010-2012 cars
can be a nightmare on the level of criminality with the catalytic
converters, water pumped and timing on the 2010 and some 2011 cars
reportedly having a virtual 100% failure rate right around 100k
miles (fewer for the water pumps). This is the same on the sports
and applicable LR4s. The 2007-2009 FF Range Rover has NONE of these
issues, besides some regular EAS stuff. They are AWESOME and
deserve status up there as Classics along with the FJ60s. This is
one such model.
