Can Veeky Forums educate me on these cars? Will need new vehicle in a year from now and I'm thinking about maybe getting a used Land Rover or Range Rover
Is 2006-2008 a good year for these cars? I've always liked them and finally have enough money to get a used one, but obviously, don't know if it's smart to considering foreign cars seems to have a poor rep. every time they venture over 80k
What does Veeky Forums think?
06 is the first year where they moved away from BMW parts. Jag/Land Rovwr engine, new electromics, etc. It is going to be more reliable than the BMW made Ranges but not by much. It would have been worth it to get it from Carmax when the warranties were 2-3k, but now they raised it to 6k. I would pass on the Range.
Decent ones are going for mid 20s. I'd consider a 2010 Lexus GX460.
Everything seems to indicate that they're money pits.
Seconding Lexus if you want a luxury car with minimal maintenance worries.
Ah, thanks. What about the Land? Doesn't have to be very fancy, even the simple, base model will do for me.
Yeah, that seems to be the reputation they have. I only average about 7-10k miles a year although, that may not matter
Buy from Carmax and get the extended warranty unless you're made of money or can diy.
Land Rovers have problems as well. They are just built with sub-par materials. Just get a GX
Sucks, man I was really liking the LR2 or 3 models.
They'll break. That's the one constant with anything Land Rover.
Luxurious and capable, but they break.
Range Rovers are shit plain and simple. You can lease one but do not buy one unless you want headaches after headaches. For about 20k less you can get this in AWD lifted and 22in rims for only 55k. I own one and fucking love it.
