I’ve owned 4 Land Rovers….Defender, Range Rover P38, Range Rover Sport L322 & currently a Sport Autobiography SDV6 3 litre diesel. I do most of my own car maintenance & repairs. For the general maintenance Range Rover’s are marginally more expensive than other cars. But not as claimed on this video. I’ve run them to 100,000 miles with no huge issues, other than the expected items. If you’re someone who’s gonna put your car into the main dealer for everything then what the video says is broadly true. But if you’re a competent home mechanic as I am, you can do most jobs yourself & save your money for the specialist jobs. I spend around £250 a year on routine maintenance- I’m a stickler for regular annual oil changes etc. That’s about twice what I pay for my wife’s VW Golf, but nothing exceptional. If you want to own one don’t be put off entirely by this video…it’s all worst case stuff. Get to know your car, do some home mail & you’ll likely be ok. They’re great cars to drive & own if you do your homework. And avoid using main dealers if possible (true for any make of car). Enjoy
bought a used 2010 used LR2 with 50k in 2015. A few issues and now has 160k. I just use it as commuter car now. Yes, parts are expensive. The lr2 was discontinued so yes , i bought it super cheap. I am lucky to have an independent LR mechanic in town when it does break. Boy does he have some LR stories to tell. If you own one find a mechanic that knows how to work on one. The LR dealership wanted to charge me 500 to replace a key fob. Thanks to amazon and youtube i got it done for $30 bucks.
Videos like this help me to find great deals on used luxury cars. I’m not even a mechanic and I’ve had great experiences with Land Rover, Audi, and Mercedes with over 100k miles.
Bought a 2014 five years ago had no problem, before that had an eight year old Porsche Cayenne no problem. Fact is as soon as you buy 2nd hand car you maybe inheriting someone else's problem or might be that's a just car that was traded in for a newer one, with no problems.
I have owned multiple used JLR products over the years and all I have ever done is regular maintenance. Current 2019 RRS with 5.0 has been a blast. Oil changes at home with JLR filter and approved oil costs $185. They depreciate just like every other car, high end or not. This video is proof that anyone can make their opinion heard with or without facts to back it up.
I bougjt a 1990 RR Classic in 2016. I knew she was rough, and she barely did 50mph on the way home. I literally had to stop and get an air filter on the way home. I changed the plugs, wires, distributor, oil, trans flush, diff flush, transfer case flush, all the u-joints, brakes and rotors. 85mph on the fwy. (1990 was pre sway bar, so squirrley above 85). She ran great after the repairs. I also discovered that you have to be "tuned in" , and understand certain things about Land Rovers. If you understand, and you can do maintenance yourself, you can avoid costly repairs. I own an Evoque as my daily. Just did the radiator hose for $65. Brembo rotors and pads cost less than $400. Currently looking for a RR Sport as a tow vehicle.
I agree with you , especially the last part. Maintenance is key. Really with any car. Understand this before you buy this or any car. Range Rover owner
Range Rovers are not for kids . Sorry mate . If you don’t know how to drive one then don’t buy it . Ask the British. They know . They make cars for cold and rainy climates up to the Sahara desert. If you see a broken Land Rover always see the driver first
Range rovers break regardless of driver lol. My coworker bought a brand new one and it had to be towed to the dealership 3 times in the first year because it kept breaking. She drove it like a normal car, to work and back. To the grocery store. And it just couldn't handle it all that haha. British don't know how to make a car.
Range Rover enthusiasts here. I tell people if they want a RR then buy a new one with a factory warranty (dont waste money on an aftermarket warranty, they will hardly approve any repairs). If you can't afford a new one then buy one at around $20k.... not any more than that. At around that price you still have a depreciation curve but not that much. Yes the truck will have more miles but here is the key,. You have to find one that was LOVED... buy one from an enthusiast or somebody who took care of their RR... DO NOT buy one from some wannabe poser (hard to do I know). Buy one from a family who had it since new... has legit service records and so on. At around 100-120k miles a lot of things that were going to go wrong from new have already gone wrong for the most part. Make sure you get receipts, make sure the oil was changed RELIGIOUSLY at no more than 5-6k miles.. NOT 10k. If they tell you or you see long stretches like that between oil changes do not walk away.. RUN... these engines last a good while but you have to do oil changes frequently. I do mine at 5k or 6 months no more with the recommended oil and an anti friction additive from Liquid Moly. The other key to used RR ownership no matter the year is you must not be afraid to tackle some repairs yourself... yes, you cant go running to a mechanic every time the car throws an error. You need a solid Land Rover scan tool (usually at around 150-200 bucks) not just an $5 OBD scan tool. If you dont know how to use them and maybe tackle some repairs yourself then learn to do it. This can save you THOUSANDS and you can be back on the road in no time instead of having to deal with mechanics and waiting for your car to be repaired. If you have absolutely no desire to do that even a little bit and dont know anyone with some auto mechanic knowledge that can help you then keep about 5k in a bank account for emergency repairs to your RR... or like I said.. buy a new one.
Range Rovers are awesome. People usually treat them like crap and don’t maintain them properly before pushing those issues off on to someone else. They are pricey to run and people don’t realise that because they can get them at a good price but they definitely aren’t as bad as what people say. And why in the world would you take an old vehicle to the main dealer? You’re just looking for reasons to throw away money no matter the brand but instead take it to a specialist.
Buy what ever you want, maintenance every mot and fix parts if any that needs doing. Any main dear brand is a rip off so find a local garage you trust also do jobs that can be done yourself. Ive got a range rover sport v6 l494 2015 70k with 3 years of feeling like a rock star.😎🤩
It’s hot in the passenger side because it’s low on refrigerant. The compressor or condenser is probably slowly leaking. Regular car stuff. I DIY’d that repair and it’s as good as new.
I'm on my second Range Rover. Never had a single problem. I don't go to Land Rover for a service. I go to a specialist. It's cheaper, better and still updates the online JLR service record.
All cars depreciate. Name on that doesn't. You know nothing about Rovers other than what you've "heard". You can't prove any first hand knowledge of what you're talking about. You should stick to Honda. They build those for people like you. Ive owned my 2014 V8 Range Rover for 4 years. Every maintenance cost number you said is false. You are so wrong that I'm classifying your video as click bait.
I’ve got rid of my 2015 Range Rover sport special trim that o bought for 45k. His prices were realistic because I’ve only got rid of it because it’s costed 33k to repair and 6k often.
@@GaudinX Most people? Do you know most people all over the world? Probably not. Before I bought my first Rover Sport I asked people who I saw driving them if they'd buy it again or buy another one. Every one of them said they'd buy another one. Now I'm on my 3rd. All this crap talk about them being bad is just crap talk from people who repeat stuff they've heard, or had a single bad experience so they now hate on all Rovers. I also own a BMW 740i, and I had a 750li before that. Both of them MUCH newer than my Rover. BOTH of them constantly in the shop. I won't ever buy another one, but I won't tell others that the 7 Series is a bad car. I justbsay that I had two bad experiences so I won't buy it again. I'm sure there is someone who swears they are the best car they've ever owned. I won't disagree with them based in that person's experience.
2 v6 range rovers one has 160,000 miles on it and runs excellent. These things are built to last. They remind me of international Travelalls which are superior. Do your own tune ups and oil changes. Do all you can and save the harder work for the mechanic
@@suntzu94man I’ve seen a lot of older people on forums and in real life who’ve said that they’re older model Range Rover’s last 150k+ and these ppl stay loyal to the company. It’s gonna cost to keep it maintain but you’re gonna do that with any “classic” bmw, Mercedes jag or rover.
paid 17k for a 2014 same body style in the video over a year, same motor, no issues minus some wear items i had to do at 100k (brakes, tires, control arms)
I've owned two Rover Sports before the one I own now. My first was a 2010, then a 2014 and my current is a 2014. I bought all 3 used and kept them well past 100,000 miles. Never ever had a problem. They aren't for broke people though. But, if you prefer to listen to people who know nothing about Rovers the go buy a Honda Pilot.
Three used Range Rovers, over 100,000 miles each, and no issues? 🙌👏 ..but hey, if flexing about not being ‘broke’ is part of the Range Rover ownership package.
This isn’t a review this is you explaining how you feel about this particular RR. Also the way you say “RANGE ROVER” and “$35,000” sounds like this is not the vehicle for YOU!
I love range rovers, you just can’t be an idiot and take it to the stealership, find a good independent mechanic, what the stealershiop will do for you for 3,000, they will do for $1500 , same part same quality work. That goes for any car but ESPECIALLY cars like range rovers, bmw
omg, the longest video saying old luxury cars are expensive to maintain.
Don’t get ripped off with a $1200 oil change. You can pull up to my garage and I’ll do it for $899 and toss in a headlight fluid flush free of charge!
🤣
did my own 5w20 syn for 60$ bro
People who buy new RR are probably company directors as no normal person buys one new

You are right....Avoid using main dealers if possible.
Can they last 150K miles?
"You don't change your engine oil because it's going to cost your $1,200" um...no? That one line made this entire video lose its credibility.

Agreed. It’s all about luck, you could buy a Toyota that will blow up tomorrow. You always roll the dice with a used car

Yea mate you speaking about a Toyota, Range Rover are unreliable and perform poorly in every class their in.
Range Rovers are garbage dude, you’re dreaming.
British cars are the laughingstock
Of the world. Stick to Japanese or German cars don't listen to this peasant. He probably voted Brexit
@@zaxxx3781iv had 3 and they have never been an issue. Put 198k on one. I also do my own work. And i put them through hell. Great beasts.

If I ever decide to get a Range I will definitely lease for 2-3 years.
I paid 12k for a 2013 with 60k miles on it.
This is not a realistic view of this vehicle, I have owned many some that went into 150k plus miles, maintained they run great.

great informative video pointing out the downfalls, I liked the introduction to this video as well, Thanks y’all
They say that British range ended 2017 the later are from India, is it true? Which one is better?
RANGE ROVER WILL HAVE THE ROYAL FAMILY FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY OMG
This is a long video explaining that you can’t afford a range
paid 17k for a 2014 same body style in the video over a year, same motor, no issues minus some wear items i had to do at 100k (brakes, tires, control arms)

So if you broke, don’t buy it… got it. You could’ve just said that kid.
Good thing I ain’t broke.
Is this the kid that plays Dustin on Stranger Things?
Yes.
BUY A TOYOTA!😂😂😂
As a backup🤣
Best and honest video review i have seen on range rovers ever.
