We bought a 2015 L405 5.0 Supercharged and have owned it a little over a year. Aside from regular maintenance (oil changes that I do myself), I've replaced wear and tear items (brakes and rotors front and rear), the main battery (the original one was getting tired), and two downstream O2 sensors (replaced them using my friend's lift). If you can do some of the maintenance yourself, you can save a lot of money. Be prepared...When this thing was new, It was over $110,000 and the parts will reflect that. I love the vehicle, but if you're the type that likes to skimp on maintenance, don't by a Rover. This is a vehicle that you need to be proactive with it's maintenance.
@@cadillachernandez2271 Replacing the downstream O2 sensors is pretty straight forward. You'll have to move some heat shielding wrap out of the way to access to the electrical connectors that are mounted to a bracket and use a open end wrench or a O2 socket to get them out. Definitely not worth taking back to a Land Rover dealership and getting screwed out of hundreds of dollars.
@@bigboiron No, but a working knowledge of what the vehicle will need in parts and can you do some of the basic work yourself helps. The V8 is definitely the way to go. At 100mph, you don't feel the speed of the vehicle. Literally no wind noise ...smooth and stable.
All cars do have issues, but some have more than others and unfortunately Landrover/Jag have more than others, and it's such a shame as they're beautiful cars with amazing capabilities let down with poor reliability.
Yea that and also probably the most annoying part is the electronic gremlins that many owners have complained about it, they’ll get it fixed and the same problem will keep recurring over and over again. I feel like that’s the biggest annoyance even if you have a warranty on these
@@MeynMotorGroup 100% there's no point in a car that spends more time in the workshop than it does on the road, warranty or not, and you need a brand that's going to properly look after you when things go wrong, and this brand is just better overlooked when shopping for a car.
Had 3 JLR vehicles, currently have a 2 year old RRSport D300 Ingenium with 33k miles. Had odd minor issues, but not as big or as serious as F31 BMW 330d (steering rack, fuel pump, rear wiper failures) or Volvo S60 D5 (engine failure in year 1 @ 25k miles). Superb cars with masses of style.
IMO if you are a DIYer, these cars can be a steal. When you buy one you have to assume going in that things will break that you will need to fix. I bought a 15 RRS with 175000 on the clock, for 8000, it had a mild wreck in the front. Fixed it myself, also put valve covers on it, other than that it has been a fantastic car. Just took it on a week long trip to Colorado, and loved every minute driving it. I agree with other comments on here; if you cant DIY, plan on being rich to own one, but if you are willing to get your hands dirty, you can get a great car at a great price.
This guy says second row in the L405 is cramped? Ths shows you he has no idea wtf he's talking about. There ia plenty of room no matter how tall you are also I've owned a 2013 v8 supercharged up to 76k and a v6 supercharged up to 82k with only having to replace a water pump on the 2013 and a couple of o2 sensors. Otherwise nothing! No issues. You also don't need a warranty unless you like wasting money. These cars have been out so long you can get almost any part used and have an independent put them on for you and for a fraction of what the dealer charges. Stay away from dealer service as they will rape you. There are plenty of independents these days that work on Land Rovers. Neglect it and yes it will cost you but take care of it and you'll love it and have few issues. It's one of the best all around cars you can own when you look at comfort,, luxury, sportiness, off road prowess and overall panache.
May God Bless you my friend but please do not lead people astray, yes you may be one of the few who has had minimal issues but keep in mind the majority of people who have had issues and how most are better off purchasing the vehicle CPO with a warranty. Again, your experience is not a guarantee for others. I did tell the viewers to look into the LWB for more legroom as I was referring to the SWB not having enough second row space.
Excellent guide about the Range Rover L405. I just don’t get why this video hasn’t gotten likes from at least 5% of the viewers. People get a lot of value from this youtuber but seem to be incapable of pushing the like button. Why?
Well I appreciate that my friend, thank you for your kind words. I don't really ask for subscribers & likes which maybe why my numbers are lower although even when I do ask I've noticed there's no difference in engagement. I'm just glad people are watching and find value with the content. God Bless!
Dispite the issues (let's be honest, they're complicated cars), owners of Range Rovers absolutely love them. I don't think any other car brand has that level of loyalty.
I owned a 2019 RR sport supercharged with 32k miles on it. Had enough after 6 months of ownership. Came from bmw 750, and traded the rr in on s560 merc. German cars had superior quality over the Range Rover. Range Rover issues in 6 months included replacement of HUD, master door switch, binding in front diff, premature fading of exterior trim, rusted out fuel tank cradles, EGR pump replacement.
I think statistically, at least the last article I read, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz have the highest brand loyalty among luxury marques. I also recall the numbers not even being close.
My 2015 Supercharged with 120000 miles hasn’t missed a beat. Never once left me stranded and been off road, snow and ice, 2 feet of water and covered 500 miles at over 100 mph during Covid. It’s our 8th RR we have owned on four continents and only car I would buy for high speed on road and amazing off road. The commentator of this video has never owned one obviously and his comments are general and broad for most cars.
So according to you my friend, let's ignore all of the manufacturer/government resources, forums, and years of automotive experience/critical thinking that the commentator brought out and let's instead go based on your one off experience correct? The wrong people are just waiting to hear a comment like yours to ruin their financial life and I'm sorry but we have to be rational and protect the masses not just make yourself feel better about owning a Range Rover. But thank you for sharing my friend, I'm glad you personally had a great experience. God Bless.
Right, it’s thousands of others who don’t even do preventative maintenance that’s the KEY, BMW, Alfo and etc it’s the same maintenance. Folks go months without oil changes, seeing things that need to be fixed and wait until the last minute, they said the same thing about bmw x5M
@@miguelvega7769 BULLSHIT....Euro cars need no more maintenance than anything else......there are no less Toyota and Lexus owners who don''t take care of their cars, and they still run without issues. A leaking cooling system, electrical failures, computer failures, sensor failures, air suspension failures, body hardware failures.....you will have these issues on ALL European cars after the warranty goes out......and on Rover before that.......this has NOTHING to do with "maintenance"....it has to do with shit engineering and lousy quality. BMW X5 was one of the worst......you have NO CLUE what you are talking about kid......just blowing smoke.
a lot of people who own or drive these landrover they dont know how to change a light bulb or change a battery or cant change a spare tyer and when these things happen they come on youtube saying my landrover is broken again what a unreliable suv i really hate when people do things like that
That's literally 99.9% of people. Not everyone wants to be or will care enough to be an automotive expert/mechanic. Being a jack of all trades makes most people a master of nothing. Last thing a school teacher, nurse, lawyer, carpenter, insurance salesperson, engineer, architect, programmer, etc wants to do is come home and wrench on a car nor do they have time to learn since they spend their time and energy being an expert on their field of study which is why they can excel and make a great living. I've noticed this only with the automotive community but somehow if people don't know anything about cars they are an idiot but a watchmaker does not mock someone for not knowing how to put a rolex back together and a doctor won't make fun of you for not knowing how a pancreas works. It's a good idea to know some basic things with a car since most of us use a car everyday but I don't blame people for not knowing. Cars can be intimidating to most.
Exactly what I said. Totally incompetent. I can change breaks, rotors, spark plugs wires, full Pully kits, o2 sensors, batteries starters , hvac motors etc. i am buying one tomorrow and I have 3 other cars to drive in case I need to take it in to shop and have 3 toolboxes full of tools
It will blow after 60k miles. They create them to break just after warranty expired lol my first one blow when it was 62k miles (head gasket) other one 67k miles (tranny). Lease them better deal.
If I have 200k to buy one of these one question I am not asking about is reliability. I’m rich!!! Who really buys one of these because they want a reliable grocery getter. I’m rich!!! After 2/3 years I’m trading it in and getting the newest one again!!!!! Cause I’m rich
Great review again. You better just lease the thing out. That Air suspension will take you to the cleaners when it gets old. This is a rich dad’s nightmare after warranty expires.
Not true. Times have changed. You can be refurbished/rebult struts for $300 a corner. It takes 1 hr a corner to swap. When they were new it was a different story. I offer this service.
I purchased my 2014 L405 in late 2013. 10 years later, very few issues. If they are as crummy as the comments above state, why do owners love them? Just like a Porsche Cayenne, these cars are really inexpensive to buy used after 6 years of age. They depreciate like a rock falling off a cliff once off warranty. Purchasers are afraid the older high-end SUVs will bankrupt them, but if you can find a reliable and honest independent shop, luxury SUVs are a real bargain to buy. Aluminum body still looks like new even with northern salt-covered roads in winter. Sure, all used cars require some good luck, but these Rovers are often kept in a garage, low mileage, dealer serviced by the original owner, and no one took them to a track. My 3-liter V6 gets 20-23 mpg highway and has more than enough power. Fewer problems than a new Defender.
Great video. These are great cars but you must do your due diligence. The CPO warranty is a must have in my opinion. I’ve had l320s and l322s in the past. Even a G class. The Range Rover drives like nothing else. Hunting for a nice CPO L405 and hopefully make my way into the newest body style in 2 years or so. I greatly appreciate the effort you put into this video.
I never fault the owners of range rovers for buying them. Yes they should do research before making such an expensive purchase,however the manufacturer needs to treat his loyal consumer better by offering much,much better quality. Shame on range rover.
air suspension the entire air ride unit is a joke from day one until today that is one of landrover biggest failure / a off road suv with touch screen hmmmm 99.9%of new range rover dont go off road so y do u need air suspenion i owned p38 l322 and i had electrical problem air suspenion problem all the time my opinion from jamaica
Bought a new Landrover decades ago. It had 50 major problems. The agent would only fix one problem per day so I gave up. Never again as long as my feet point to the ground…….
Hello my friend, thanks for stopping by, if you get a chance, consider watching this vid at x2 speed as I think it can help but I def think a new Defender with the inline 6 for around $80k is the best value in the lineup since clean L405 lwb supercharged v8s go for around $60-$70K for a 4 year old vehicle with around 50k miles, the Defender will be new with no miles and still drive amazing 👍
For me the range rover are badest car ever i have it rang r sport sdv6 2016 and 2020 model engine fail 40k km and 55k km i never buy range rover with shit engines
I’ve had 4, currently own 2. Main issues with these Range Rovers are people buy them that can’t afford them! And or can’t even change the oil or brakes them selves.
What happened to the other 2? Did they die or did you sell them? I doubt the issue is people "affording" them. There are lots of great options higher and lower than a range. The issue with ranges is quality control. One person might buy one new and have zero issues the first four years and someone else might buy the same exact range new and have a bunch of problems after the first month.
@cjking4511 there are lemons with every company... btw have you had RR's??.. probably not. Its people like you. Who have never owned one that love to commet on how terrible they are... when they dont have a clue!! Lol as a Chevy guy... i can tell you my Yukon has cost me alot more to maintain than my Range..
@@cadillachernandez2271 Anyone who starts off with “there are lemons with every company” is writing a paragraph full of defensiveness and false assumptions. BTW RR stands for Rolls Royce and I have owned my phantom for 13 years without any issues. Each RR is hand made and they do not make lemons. LR is what you should use because it describe the Low Reliability of Land Rover vehicles and Low Reasonability levels of it’s consumers. LR customers enjoy making car payments forever and falsely assume owning a mass produced low quality control car which is prone to fail because of bad engineering and overuse of plastic parts somehow means their issues are all car brand issues when it certainly is not.
hi would you recommend a 2017 diesel engine model with 84k miles priced for usd37,000? any pointers or issues with the diesel engine to know about? thank you
The car is a money pit! Stay away. The warranty ain’t cheap. The market flooded with LR people get ride of them soon as the warranty run out. Even if you buy one for $10,000 your repair bill will cost that of a new LR without a warranty. Stay away.
I work on Land Rovers and love them but unless you’re competent in home mechanics or have very deep pockets avoid vehicles out of warranty like the plague! Especially anything with an ingenium engine they are total shite.
I am very competent in home mechanic repairs and have all the euro tools. I Can do many things and just got a house with 2 1/2 car garage full-size and have low profile 3 ton jack and stands I am buying on tomorrow am
One of the most unreliable cars ever built however, if you have extra cash and money doesn't matter you will be in for a treat. Suv is pure Luxury, class, comfort and performance.
No, this car is not primarily made for the US market. It is made for the global luxury SUV market. Sorry to say it, but the US customers usually do not have enough sofistication for this sort of refinement.
The biggest issue with Landrover is the attitude towards its customers especially after sales,and rectifying issues.The lube changes are the easiest for them to deal with and bloody expensive but anything else is off limits.thats someone elses problem.and thats coming from a long term Kandy owner.
I buy a car like RR cz I want it and I can afford it....if there is an issue,I walk in a RR workshop, they make .mostly an excellent service and that's it.....this car is made for people they can pay this service and the car and it's a luxury vehicle....means, it costs more than a Lada...but in many people's mind is an error, I guess it comes from watching social media day and night, made them believe. buy it!..... no you can't, buy a car for your budget and enjoy it....and don't believe you rise up into VIP lounge or high class....it's the car, not u ...same with Rolex and other luxury brands...be good
Does the Velar fall under the category of nightmare after warranty category? I’m sure it does 😭 but I really want one so bad I just don’t want to deal with that head ache. Can you do a review on the Velar?
I reviewed the Velar in 21 and it’s a good vehicle just finance a new 4 cylinder model and keep until the warranty expires. Leasing would be the best way to go and I have a free leasing calculator in the description box for you to use to see if programs are good in your region because Range Rover leases suck where I live
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah lease deals where I’m at are pretty bad too, but I’ll still check it out because maybe things have changed and gotten a little better. But I do like the idea of financing it and just trading it in when the warranty is over, you have my mind thinking now lol. Thanks for the help!
if a vehicle is fitted with twice the equipment of a budget car then its likely that you will have potential for twice as many isues , so when looking at these reviews you must take that into account when comparing
In the right spec (wheels not too big, everything as it came from factory) fabulous SUVs! They just ask a bit more preventive maintenance than average. Great build quality and materials used. Worth the money imo.
@@lexrus7786 I have owned a 2013 RR Sport and now a 2016 L405. Love them both. No maintenance issues with either and put 70K on my Sport and am over 75K with my L405. With any luxury vehicle you are going to find a good number of issues just because they are outfitting it with new tech which has loads of sensors to measure varying aspects of the vehicle. Sensors fail and when they are part of a critical chain, it causes ripple effects. Every vehicle suffers from this, some more than others. Honda and Toyota both went through growing pains and have wonderful autos. LR/RR has changed hands enough times that they have had to shift production processes, this caused problems but overall, their reliability has increased considerably.
Unfortunately the new generation of Land Rover products are designed to last the 3 year warranty. I am now seeing the first generation of the new defender in the work shop, vehicles out of warranty with 36000 miles that need £500 plus spending on them.
Times have changed. These mainly got a bad rep due to air suspension. Times have changed. You can get refurbished/rebuilt struts for $300 a corner. It takes 1 hr a corner to swap. When they were new it was a different story and thus gave a bad rep. I offer this service.
I was literally looking to buy a Rang Rover, (I own a Honda Pilot now)but there are so many videos/forums, people speaking on them, about them how so many bad things happened. They look really nice, better then all the other high end SUV’s but with that much trouble, I don’t have the time or don’t want to get stuck on the road.
@@highendtrends3508 If you were cross-shopping with a Honda Pilot... then you can not afford it nor are you their main customer. Your account shows that clearly. You can either afford it or you can not. These things are decent in reliability considering they are driven by celebrities and people who are financially stable. All while being off-road ready, looking good, and having a luxury interior. Most people with high-end cars generally also have a Triple AAA membership service on standby. You are not their demographic. Ride off into the sunset with your Honda beater, it is a reliable car, but don't get delusional.
when I bought my 2012 Toyota. Venza. I researched the heck out of that Vehicle. And I'm aware of a recall when I was buying it. every signal Venza on the market during my search does have that same recall it's at the driverside airbag connector. As soon as I registered on the Toyota website I received a letter to let me know about the issue and that they are working on it. a redesigned connector. A few months later I received a letter and e-mail to let me know the part will be fixed at no cost to me. at any Toyota Dealer near me. and the problem solved
Range Rover full size and the sport are real rich people vehicles. First they cost a lot to buy cost a lot to run you lose a fortune in devaluation when you come to replacement. Plus you have the unreliable issues that come with it. If you can handle all that and doesn’t bother you then your rich no problem, you will probably have other vehicles to drive when the Range Rover is in the garage for repairs
@@MeynMotorGroup I had a Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 petrol when BMW owned the company it was a 2005 model. I can honestly say it was like driving a Bentley with BMW reliability. However as soon as the three year warranty was about to expire I changed it.
Then Stick to Hondas, let’s not jive because some folks say Range Rover is bad, most of the folks never even changed a water pump but swear up and down know everything about something they never EVER drove let alone owned
You can't expect a vehicle to as many features as these thing have and not have issues after 5 or 6 years of going down the road. What other then do you buy and not have issues after a few years. The asian cars seem to do better because they have no features. Jump in a toyota 4 runner. They look 30 years old. but it might run forever.
Doesn't matter who makes the car every new vehicle has the same features now which is the point of these buyer's guides. There's too many things to count which means all new cars are disposable and not worth keeping after the 3 year mark.
No it's just about being an average sized Male at 5' 11" having shins rub against the plastic backing of the front seats and knees in one's own nose due to the high floor design.
@@InspirationalMagic extended wheel base version of this is fine along with flag ship sedans and fwd sedans like the ES or Volvo S90. Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, and Land Rover Defender have a great amount of rear leg room as far as SUVs are concerned. Vehicles with soft seat backings help a ton with adult leg room but I get it, for people with kids the plastic backing will help protect the front seat when the kid has a tantrum and their kicking up against it
I'm an Englishman who has been driving Land Rovers products for over twenty years and can honestly say there is no place more comfortable to be.... ....whilst waiting for a tow truck!"
What are your thoughts on LOW milage LR's? Suppose there was a 15k milage out of warranty for a decent price. It is more the milage associated with issues OR age of vehicle?
If it has 15k miles it should have factory warranty on it so it should be fine. Someone commented saying that newish low mileage vehicles at a none land rover store will have factory warranty that will be passed down to the next buyer but I would just call the dealer and double check to be safe. But at that point you're paying so much for a clean low mileage Rover that you can just buy a brand new Defender or something for $80k. And as I stated in the video, new used doesn't matter, I've had issues with literally 200 miles JLR products
Would be good to check why it's thats low milage and yet out of warranty due to age. That could be a sign it's been dead and in the garage most of its time in existence
I was looking to purchase a Range Rover. Either a brand new or slightly preowned with very little miles. But I have a friend,Tell me to be careful what I decide because right now I have a 2018 Honda pilot. When I started looking up and started reading forms, I was sadly surprised. How many issues and problems, come with this vehicle. Some people bringing it vehicle to the shop and not getting it for a month finally getting it and then not getting it back again because it had to bring it back.
I wish I could get RR reviews from a mechanics point of view to a DIY person. I’ve had a few German cars and none of them had warranty. Well, I was the warranty because I do all my own work. I really want to know what it’s like to work on them because I’ve had to work on every car I’ve ever had (including Lexus) and some are easier to work on than others. The Lexus was NOT the easiest to work on BTW.
It’s a mechanics nightmare and no amount of harbor freight tools can help you with this one. Parts are a pain to get, if you love working on cars in your free time just get an old Honda on the side and keep it there. This is a lease and dump I thought people understood this but if not watch the video most comment without watching the whole thing
Probably the very best video ive seen on Range Rovers. I would buy one in a heartbeat and remains my dream car. Anyone such as I who lived through the Leyland era in UK knows all about rubbish cars. New cars, all new cars, are head and shoulders better than the 60s70s cars. Great video.
There is one a few streets over from me for sale. I am never thought of owning a RR as I couldn’t afford to spend over 100k new and obviously wouldn’t buy one brand new. The one owner 2013 Range Rover HSE for sale near me has just the 5.0 V8 looks and states meticulously maintained with 100k KM’s on it so 60k miles on it , stored for the last 6 winters. It’s definitely a beautiful looking all black with a second set of winter rubber. Asking 16k cad or best offer. Just saw it today so I haven’t spoke to the two friends of mine that own Land Rovers, there’s are newer models so I’ll do my research but damn it looks mint. Definitely curious Anybody with a 2013 V8 Sport let me know your thoughts ………..appreciate it !
Watch out for rusted out moonroof drains. This has happened on vehicles only a few years old. The pan rusts out, allowing water to flood the interior and destroy the many computers and amplifiers mounted under the carpet. Cost me many thousands. The entire vehicle chassis is aluminum, except for the sunroof frame which is steel. Idiots.
americans and your v8 petrols because your fuel so cheap to the rest of us. My 3 litre Diesel in New Zealand is very adequat have owned for 7 years, Best car no hassles no trouble.
running a 2013 30 TDV6 L405 tempted to buy very sceptical as all these stories regards the crankshaft snapping are these on early models or any recent TDV6 engines
I have Land Rover Sport autobiography 2012 it's so good car i have it for 10 years no problems with the engine Jacquard engine Supercharged V8 people give this company bad reputation because they are jealous If you can't ride cars and take responsibility go and ride donkeys better for you
The problem with land rovers I find is every who says they love them had no issues is driving it till 100k or less then swapping to a new one. That's not long long term reliability. I'd like to see more people reviewing 100k plus ones. Great looking and feeling but hot garbage unless you can foot the bill without asking how much lol
I’ve never been able to understand why anyone needs a vehicle like this. How many ever go off road? I suppose they are a kind of status symbol. Mines bigger than yours!
It’s called an average failure rate, some owners will not see major issues but more than average will. It’s generally the opposite with the likes of Honda or Toyota.
They bought shares from romanian ARO to have that traction. The rest you can see what trash car it is 😂 who doesn't know who ARO was, just search here for videos 💪 you'll give your RR for one of that ones
IDK about iterior room in L405. I don't think "cramped" is anywhere near that. I just switched from 2013 L320 RRS to 2016 L405 and room is plentiful, at the back seats as well. I am 5'11 and room in plenty behind me.
How is it holding up, I was looking to purchase a Range Rover , but I started watching videos and reading forums and my god, it’s making think twice. Please if you could make a video about your experience that would be great.
Yea but lease programs suck on these now so you basically have to be very wealthy to afford one this is no longer something a regular person can just finagle
@@Hilighted yea I hadn’t looked it up I just spitballed was trying to say that economy car struts can be had for much less than flagship luxury air struts but yes looks like struts on a 2013 Camry will go for around $400-$800+ depending on quality which is sadly a ton of money for a 10 year old economy car. But yea the TSBs on a Toyota is going to be far less severe than this Rover 👍
A good rule of thumb is this: If the secondary market is the only way you can afford to get into these vehicles, then these vehicles aren't for you. Side note: Saying that "all modern vehicles" have electronic issues due to all the sensors, cpu's, etc. is simply making excuses for JLR products. It's making excuses because JLR products have been known to have reliability issues decades ago...since the late 70's from what I can remember.... long before all the electronics became commonplace in today's vehicles. Back then, they were called "electrical" issues....as opposed to today's "electronic" issues.
I live in the Peak District of uk these cars are mainly drove by rich city drivers. The majority of farmers working class drive a 80s land almost zero elerics on them the rich farmers drive 1980s reign rovers because of less problems
RR vehicles are pretty nice when they are new (same with BMWs); but, they don't age well at all... They are for people with some money yet low wisdom on 😑, I may even go as far as qualify them as superficial... My TLCs have aged very well and the newer model are just as well equipped as the new RRs.
For the price of these cars I'd expect more. Spending almost $100k just for it to be in the shop so often isnt good at all. Why are they charging so much for them? I think I'll start away from this vehicle. The depreciation of them is nasty. You're paying for a name and it isn't even holding up. Then you've got repairs once the warranty expires.
Outstanding content. Lot of great info provided….. oh by the way Raleigh Imports (NC) currently has a few Range Rover Sports, Evoques,( and 1 Autobiography) been listed from a few months ago. Unsure if only warranty are offered 🥴
These vehicles are to be leased using interest earnings from your bank account or investment accounts. NEVER spend your capital on them unless money is absolutely no object.
even the duel climate controlle y if 2 people in the front seat driver wants to be little cooler or warmer than the passenger these features r gonna fail and must fail some company makes them better than some landrover was crappy tooo much electrical featuresss
I'm sorry but this is a terrible video. I get what we're going for but 90% of this information is applicable to any car or manufacturer. Look up issues with any GM Tahoe, Yukon, or Escalade form 2014-2022... the 5.3 is catastrophic, transmissions are made of glass, and MagneRide can't last past 60K miles. Ford, Ecoboost turbos don't last past 70K miles and again more transmission issues. Dodge/Jeep, look up the 3.6 V6 issues... there's been like 12+ revisions of the lifters and they still fail. Moral of the story, look at how common major issues happen like complete engine failure or replacing transmissions. No brand is really safe other than Toyota I suppose but please just don't default to certified pre-owned... it's great if you can afford it but do some research and understand your repair threshold first.
That is correct my friend, every new car is junk. There is no repair threshold sadly. The moral of the story for every car moving forward is buy with a warranty/CPO or Lease and dump new cars. Not sure what is so terrible my friend, I haven’t said anything of my own opinion, this is simply the facts of modern day vehicles. God Bless.
I have a 2019 and there has been zero problems with it! I love the car and enjoy it very much - both in the city and on shooting trips in the middle of rough nature! I it is just a wonderful car, on longer trips it is as comfortable as a Merc S-class.
Do people that buy 2014-> range rover say it's unreliable, because it's an expensive car but since the price drop so much that people that originally can't really afford are going to be able to afford it, so the maintenance is too expensive for them or is it actually pain in the ass that even if you have the money it's still going to waste your time? What I'm going with this is that cars are cheap in the us so since maintenance price didn't depreciate so people that buy a car because the price depreciate so much, they can't actually afford the maintenance price. Btw the price of preowned range rover is still around 78.000 usd since the new car cost around 450.000 usd
You can ask your local Land Rover dealer how much they charge for their warranty and if it is pro rated and if it is a proper bumper to bumper warranty that covers everything. Could also ask Hendrick AutoGuard
