I think at this age and mileage, you'll need to expect that any L322 will need work or maintenance in the upcoming 12 months. Otherwise you need to spend £120k buying a brand new Range Rover. To your point about "how much" and jumping in, the fact is anything can go wrong with any used vehicle. To exemplify this, the 4.4 TDV8 had a known issue with the PCV on the air con compressor. This isn't mileage related and can fail at any time. Because it's 7 hours labour, the garage bill is over £1,000. The fact is, you need to expect these things on an old complex 4x4 (not just Land Rover). The complex mechanicals and packed engine bays mean labour can be 3x that of an equivalent repair on a typical saloon or estate car, and there are significantly more components to go wrong. Sounds like your best bet based on your needs and requirements is to purchase one from a Land Rover specialist. But, you are best regardless, to put a couple of hundred away each month for maintenance and repairs. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

At least you have chosen the most reliable model with no items that commonly have catastrophic failure reputations - it took 10 yearsf or JLR to give it a reliable engine and gearbox. Prices for buying are sensible now so you jut need to find one in your budget and (IMO) keep at least £3k per year as a contingency fund. Everything else is up to you as how long do you intend to keep it? how many miles do you do a year? is it going to be a daily driver you rely on for essential travel or a 2nd weekend car? How much work are you prepared / able to DIY? Do you want a show car or a running repair project? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
