Selling my Black Series

I hate to do it, but with gas prices and all the driving I do, I can't have 2 vehicles that suck gas as bad as they do. I'm going to keep the Range Rover and sell the Black Series.

If you are interested, PM me and I will give you the VIN.

It is in good condition. No dents or accidents. 23,800 miles on it. It has a LEMON LAW BUYBACK title. Apparently Mercedes bought it back from the prior owner for an issue with the oil cooling system. I noticed that they replaced the entire system before selling it directly to me. I bought it with 12,400 miles on it and have had NO ISSUES related to the oil cooler, so they obviously fixed it. Since I have bought it, it has gone through 2 annual services with Mercedes. Next service in in about 9 months.

Lemon law buyback title means that this car goes for much cheaper than other cars with the same miles and condition. Thus, I am asking $67,000 obo.

The only mods to this car are a blacked out front grill, trimmed cold air intake vents and K&N filters.

I am in the Redondo Beach/Torrance area of Los Angeles.

I'll post better photos later.

I say you keep the Black series and sell the range. I bet the Black gets better gas mileage than that rover. In my opinion that car is one the best looking/performing cars of all time and looks way to perfect sitting in that garage.

On another note, good luck with your sale!! I wouldnt be worried about the early maintaince issues, as long as the car runs and drives as designed.

Thanks for the recommendation man, but I still want to sell it. I just leased a new Range Rover, so I can't sell it yet, and need the Rover for camping, hockey and driving my niece around.

Well, not so much the price of gas itself, more that i can find better things to do with $80 every 4 days. And the annoyance of filling up the tank halfway to vegas is a pain in the a$$.
