Featured Car of the Week

2016 Land Rover LR4 

Last Year Design and Southern California Owned

2016 gray land rover lr4 exterior

What Mike likes about this SUV:
“I have enjoyed owning the last year of Land Rovers LR4 for many years. No longer are they produced and this is the last year of production 2016. Similar to the Mercedes G wagon the LR4’s square box design stands out amongst all of the aerodynamic cars built today. This particular car is like new and was driven by myself. It is an excellent condition and it’s just been serviced by Land Rover and ready for its new owner. Someone out there must be looking for a great sport utility with a unique design and has an interesting Corvette or Muscle Cars to trade-in. Don’t let this one slip away!!!”

Check out our great financing options.  

Happy Throttling!

2016 gray land rover lr4 interior

This was the last year for the LR4 and examples in pristine condition like this one are very near impossible to find. This is a one (lady from Newport Beach) owner who traded it in on a new Audi.  It’s as clean as can be and has been Corvette Mike’s personal mode of transport since we got it in.
