Um, What?

Once you try not to choke on the crack-pipe price, there is what you see below. Yes, this is in the description of the vehicle.

1 owner (registered) vehicle from $3 and $6 million homes, who was a mild-celebrity in 1999 and 2010.

"2016.5 (2016.9) Land Rover LR4 HSE LUX Landmark (Final) Edition 4x4 w/ Heavy Duty Off-Road Package Option (2-speed transfer case)"

Needs more parentheticals and decimals.

Makes me laugh that the seller thinks the car is so awesome and special because it's the "last one" and asks for a $20k market adjustment when in reality the 2013's with the V8's are more desirable still. My LR4 is a late 2013 also with the highly desirable HD pkg* and I know I would take better pictures than that guy. At least I'd dry the car and dress the tires.

*The HD pkg is rare on any type of LR4, but starting with the V6 in 2014, the transfer case was yanked and only included with the HD pkg option. So while rare, some people realized they wanted at least the T-case and ordered the HD pkg. On V8 models, because they all already came with the T-case, the HD pkg was extremely rare because it only added the e-locking diff and full-size spare and nearly no one ordered it for stock and very few ordered it for custom orders. It was smoking deal though: For $750 you got a full alloy wheel and tire and the e-diff which basically cannot be retrofitted and costs thousands by itself.

The SCV6 models from MY2014 thru MY2016 are that way, yes. Unless they were ordered with the HD pkg.
