It’s look of the draw I have had my 2010 3.6 for 6 years and so far so good with only serviceable parts needing replacing ( bush’s and suspension track control arms and tires where my wife’s 4.4 2012 has cost me £4500 over the same time on repairs / dpf / oil cooler leaks other things |

Thing you gotta remember is mate everyone comes on to the forums for when the cars break down. No one comes on here n says hi all I need some advice on my range rover that's running with no issues...

It really depends on which end of the market you buy in! You need to be prepared for ongoing maintenance but the overall cost depends on your cars start purchase price (which needs to be a factor). Noting how long the 3.6 has been around now, even a well looked after one could still generate some big bills so you may be best off buying a used (but not abused) mid 100k mileage one for a reasonable price and just be prepared to pay for the ongoing, out of service, maintenance. This could be anything from £500 upwards per year.

The big bill that's coming with a TDV8 which is into a six figure mileage is the replacement of the turbos. Budget £5k for that, because it's going to happen, even with a well serviced motor. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom |

It depends on your initial budget.
