possibility of expensive problems

hi all
firstly a very good evening to you all

i have been bitten by the rr bug since i sat in one for the very first time a fortnight ago. this was a 4.4 my03 vogue,she has 101 k on the clock. i felt so exited and wanted it there and then. but chose to walk away and think about it.
during that time i thought to myself,psychologically i have this fear of any car having done over a hundred thousand miles because you fear that thinga are going to start getting expensive.
so, cutting to the chase, could anyone tell what sort of things will start to fail on a range rover with this mileage.
thank you for your time and regards
Stan.

thats another fine mess you nearly got into...

seriously, if you have read a few posts here you will find that providing the RR has been looked after and has service history it should be ok..
warranties are also useful and give peace of mind.
one thing to look for is a RR that has had a recon/new gearbox cos they tend to go at high miles.. ... - .- -.

I'm based in Stockton so not far from yourself. Might be able to spot something local.

Will you be doing many miles in the RR
What's your budget
Any other prefrences i.e. colour, spec etc
