Once again, my used L322 Range Rover from 2011 is broken. This time around, my L322 Range Rover had to be towed to the mechanic because of air suspension failure from both the air compressor and front air struts - resulting in another $4,000 repair for the 2011 L322 Range Rover. With that begs the question, is it time to sell my L322?

About this video: I’ve owned my used 2011 Range Rover L322 for a few years now, and throughout that time, I have been grateful for having the chance to own and drive my absolute dream car. However, over the last few years, we’ve been buying more and more cars, and I haven’t really driven my L322 Range Rover much. Add to that, I have also noticed that over time, my enjoyment from the L322 Range Rover has gone down after getting to drive other amazing cars.
However, that’s never stopped me from wanting to keep it. Through thick and thin, I’ve done just about every replacement that’s come up as necessary over the years. From coolant issues to air suspension issues to other common Land Rover engine issues, I’ve done just about everything except the timing chain guides and transmission. However, this time around, things are a bit different. I have been in a position for the last few weeks where I have been considering selling my L322 Range Rover because I never really drive it any more.
On top of not driving, I’ve spent $8000 in just the last six months alone fixing different common issues. Owning an L322 for a long period of time is consuming of everything mentally and financially, and as much as I love my L322, the story I have with it, and would hate to give up the memories I’ve made with it, I just don’t know that I can keep holding onto an again, depreciating, out-dated SUV when there are so many other good cars on the market.
The problem is - the car market as a whole has been all over the place the last few months, and I haven’t been able to find anything in the budget to replace the L322 Range Rover. Frankly, I feel stuck. I think its time to sell it, but I just don’t know what a worthy replacement to such an icon would be. So until that, I suppose the used Range Rover L322 remains in the driveway.
On the topic of server, this time around, the L322 needed new front air struts on both the driver and passenger side. On top of that, it needed a new air compressor to go along with the new suspension struts. Add to that, we also did a brake fluid flush as well as the hood struts for the L322 Range Rover. All of this came to a total of almost $3,900... Again.
This is right after doing another major service just six months ago that cost me an addition $6,000 in unexpected repairs for the axel boot and coolant lines. Its just starting to become a headache lately.
So what do you think? Is it time to sell my used Range Rover L322? Let me know in the comments below! Thank you for watching this video on another repair of my broken L322 Range Rover from 2011. If you have any questions about the used L322 Range Rover, let me know. I’m happy to help!

A buddy of mine from high school came from a well off family...They always had new Range's, the father was an engineer so of course he loved his Volvo's and Saab's. But I remember something he once said to me after I asked him how he liked his new Range Rover sport....He said if you buy one, buy a second one so you have one to drive when the other is in the shop.

This video was pretty dramatic over a blown strut. In my personal experience rovers don’t really like to sit for extended periods and air struts do have a tendency to fail in cold weather. You really can’t economically own a rover without working on them yourself.

Its a freaking suspension issue, pay for it already if you want to drive the top of the range of an icon of a car, if not then don't even go there, Range Rover is one of those cars that are an event to drive and be seen in, personally I am looking to buy a normal TDV8 from around 2008.

Wouldn’t you need to go in pretty deep with tools and equipment in order to maintain and repair yourself? They’re big, heavy, complex, probably need specialist equipment. It’s not like wrenching on a defender or something. Curious to know.

I'd vote to keep it. With so much sunk in it both financially and emotionally, just keep it. And drive it a little more. I have a '10 Range Rover HSE and I love it for many of the same reasons as you. It is not my daily but i do it drive a few times a month and on adventure trips as the 4WD system is fantastic. You knew it would breakdown. Perhaps you should do the timing chain as preventative maintenance. I haven't done mine with 67k miles.

Mate, don't sell it!!! You've already invested so much into it. I had one and I regret selling it. Ok I had the extended warranty, but the inconvenience of having her in for repair cannot be underestimated. My God they are annoying but they are also so utterly fantastic. You're already emotionally attached to it and that's the point - emotion.

I would say to just sell it. I did that then got another, when I’m into again. I had a disco 2, RRS supercharged, then when through 2 Jeep’s and now I’m at a disco 1 again. But it also helps that’s I can work on my own cars tho. Plus you already have a rover.

I have been doing some research on Range Rover. It has been a dream SUV of mine for years. But the reliability of them scares me. But with that said. I havebeen doing the research. Because I am thinking about buying a 2008 Range Rover supercharged for my soon to be driving son. It would never be a road trip vehicle. More local around town thing. But would you recommend a Range Rover for a first car? Oh I use to live in Knoxville. My husband graduated from UT. We live in Murfreesboro now. Close to Nashville.
