- Why the Range Rover L322 is SO CHEAP Now (TDV8 Vogue Review)
I thought it was time to give you guys an update on the Range Rover now we've had it and discuss why in 2022 these cars have lost so much value and are cheap (in comparison to their original price) to pick up used. I also try to answer the question should you buy a used/cheap Range Rover? They are a bargain in terms of the amount of car you get for your money but we can't forget about repairs and maintenance. I hope you enjoy the video!

Do you own one or are you thinking about buying one? Would love to know your opinion on this model too!
I Have a TD v8 since 2015 and a few older models. Best car I ever owned. Just sailed through the MOT. Most comfortable car I ever driven. I tried downsizing but within a few days missed my RR so much I had to get another. Kepping this one until it becomes unroadworty. Good video cheers
I am looking at the moment, I have two defenders, so know even the simpler models are far from indestructible, would be interested to know what issues you have had in your ownership, clearly keeping a few k spare is a logical thing to do but personally i would not have a spare 8/9 k straight after purchasing to put issues right, so trying to balance that with the best I can afford
It’s the one to go for
You gave me the land rover bug especially Range Roveritus so hopefully will own a freelander 2 or Range Rover soon 😜
Enjoy your RR. Live in Australia. My wife and I bought a brand new what was then known as a LR110 County wagon back in the mid eighties when we had a growing family. We had it for fourteen years. Wonderful vechile, very reliable. Fast forward to today, own two Defenders(farm vehicles) a Discovery 2 and a 4. My adult son has a Defender and a Dis. 4. We love our LRs, I hope when you are much older you are still driving such including the one you have.
that sounds great and it's nice that you have good family memories with the car!
It's still a £70,000 car when it comes to servicing and repairs! Regular servicing at an independent garage and setting money aside for future repairs are essential. A heavy car is usually heavy on suspension components. Always check for rear wheel arch corrosion and corroded tailgate struts. Always make sure the air conditioning works properly before you buy. Replacing the evaporator core is an 18+ hour job! If you use it off-road and for towing, you should get years of motoring pleasure. There'll always be someone who wants to buy your car!
If you want to bluetooth your music buy a Invery receiver which will stay in the cubby box. I bought one and it is awesome.
Couldn’t have written that Defender in your closing sequence haha! Bought our petrol 4.4 V8 L322 a couple of months ago, what a machine, feels so special! Will have to take it out on those roads, was it around Hay?
Great video George
Why cheap? MPG but those in the know can run it on a modest budget by avoiding main dealers at all costs and by using independent specialists. There are lots about. Tyres for example, fit General Grabber AT3 for £140 each as opposed to over priced Pirelli north of £200 each. And the Generals look superb on it. Also join the Full Fat forum which has a ton of information
thanks for the tips!
Not just because of the fuel costs, the costs for repairs, WHEN it goes wrong! 😂
I’ve just piked up my second l322 4.2 supercharged 2007. Very happy owner I’ve also ordered the service kit which for 4x4 isn’t too bad but i am saving on labour by doing it myself. There are a couple of issues like I’m going to need to do some rust treatment and preventive work it sounds worse than it is. And fix the rear wiper along with boot lower strap has snapped but an easy fix. Other than that i feel I’ve got a good car.the rules I follow with a range are be willing to get your hands dirty, or spend some cash. Keep up on preventive maintenance and don’t skimp. But the most important use it and enjoy it. And encore the hater’s. Personally owning them I’ve found the reliable for what they are, and when i got rid of my first one I regretted it and missed it which has been the first car i did that with.
Amazing value. Done 135k miles in ours now, 100k with us. Only minor issues over the years. They're brilliant.
Ok. I see a very nice RR L322, oh well, the guy is riding through some Wales country roads...mmhhh oh yeah now i got it... 😬
Nice video, loved it as well as Lucy's one.
Cheers from Italy! 😀
thanks so much for watching!!
They are cheap because they are a nightmare if requiring any significant repair, which is almost certainty. Get friendly with the service staff at a Landrover dealer and you will hear the stories and wonder why you too would be insane enough to buy one.
Have you had one or got one
Even with the reliability issues I bet they are cheaper to own than buying a new or nearly new one
Great vlog , great car 😃
thanks so much, appreciate it!
Good, interesting video
Can you give me the proper option when i want one between Land Rover Range Rover III 3.6 TdV8 Autobiography Overfinch or Land Rover Range Rover III 3.6 TdV8. Which one will you recommend
Having owned 4 Range Rovers (including our first) L332 from 2009 to our latest 2014, all brand new purchases. We’ve found that everyone that has purchased our cars after have been given a good deal after. (1)Brand new gear boxes replacements x 2,
(2) plus turbos x 1
(3)electrics galor
If you buy this car brand new, use and get everything done/repaired withi the warranty/extended is finished and then sell on before you spend from your pocket and before you has the present buyer who have purchased it, you you has the second buyer are unto a good thing.
A few of my friends have bought our Range’s after we purchased it brand new.
split tailgate also a feature of e53 x5
Great cars, just have to keep on top of maintenance, and don’t scrimp on quality of parts either. Great video though 👍👍
Very true! thanks for watching
Range Rovers become wrecks when the 'squeezed middle' buy them for the school run.
No money for servicing soon sees the demise of major components. Minor faults don't get repaired and before long, they are destroyed and found as trade sales or on auction sites
I've had two discos and L322 RR, all great cars which stayed reliable once repaired and serviced well.
Maybe I could buy a boat! I'm not sure you're ready to get into the L322 scene and The boat scene all in the same year.....I can confirm first hand that Break out another thousand BOAT is absolutely accurate ☺
you're right, one step at a time 🤣
Why are they so cheap? Simple, the running costs are high especially road tax at £600+ which will go up every year, fuel is getting to be more of an issue and insurance at group 50(?) is more than that for a 500 bhp BMW 760. On top of that you're always going to have to be prepared to open your wallet on any old (let alone the L322 which was 3 generations ago), complex vehicle. However, I really don't think people cross shop between a teenage L322 and an electric vehicle.
I have a 2010 l322 had it just over a year full service history ,nowt gone wrong yet ,I did get a mega flush done on gear box ,I’m going to get the the interior pro valeted.and get it remapped,but that’s up to me ,if it’s been well looked after most of the common faults will have been done at that age ,like any car it’s how you look after them end of ,most peps that come on here and just slag them off have never had one ,had the same when I had a Merc sl ,people saying don’t get one money pit again never had one them selfs, with the battery get a 2nd battery fits in back that will help big time
Very nice...absolutley, your car your choice! The pro valet sounds great, definitely something we need doing inside and out!
You and Lucy are doing great videos on this iconic L322 , keep doing this way, I'm sure your audience will raise ;-)
thanks so much!
Hey I'm in love with this car, is it possible to export???
If I'm to purchase one???
Love my 09 L320 TDV8. It's not as tricky to park
sounds good!
I own a 57 plate TDV8 and love it
beauty!
Yep , I bought a TDV8 vogue today , cost me £2500😂 I’m going to spend another £2500 on it and do most of the Labour and maintenance myself .
Got a 2012 westminster , had it 4 years . probs £1200 on gen repaires , plus £350 .£500 service per year . local specialist , friends new Hiundi costs more to service , 32 mpg on a run,
Love the new Defender, but.A Good L322 is a slghtly better car ? £18000 v £78000 ish
They are still a ‘champagne’ car that commands top end prices in terms of running costs etc. If you can square that circle in emotional and financial terms then IMO there is nothing better as it does everything you could wish for. Petrol and diesel will be around for a good number of years yet so unless Society bans them or makes them unaffordable due to penalties etc then there is still plenty of time to get that 5.0L Autobiography and enjoy the experience! Lol! Great video’s from you both, keep up the good work!
definitely want a go in the 5.0L turbocharged at some point!
Its all hunky dory until you need to replace a few injectors or pay to get the whole body lifted off just to get at an o-ring/gasket.
I'd better enjoy the hunky dory for now then...😄
Dropping a RR L322 subframe isn't really a 'body off' job.
Are you thinking of the RR Sport?
@@JBinthesticks had the issue with a sport indeed, im not a mechanic and was just venting a bit if I'm honest! 😆 whenever I have had issues with these cars its never been a cheap fix. I'm sure much cheaper to maintain if you have the tools/knowledge to tackle issues yourself
@@o0GodZila0o ah, thought so. Yes, I avoided the sport at all costs. The full fat RR is constructed more like a regular car. The subframes are beefy, but they come off individually.
I haven't had many problems with mine, but recently swapped all the front suspension links for about £120! The joys of having done an apprenticeship and being in a technical job.👍
I can see how bills could be horrendous for those without the skills or the space to carry out the work themselves.
Old proverb- man without spanner, buy a Toyota.👍
My other car is a Toyota.😃
@@JBinthesticks haha I have since bought an xc90, not quite a hilux but I'm half way there!
The garages selling them for £3k know that it's a bait and switch for £20k worth of suspension/electrical work in the longer term. Win - Win for them.
That's Hay-on-Wye
Yea
Because the cost of maintenance is higher that the cost of purchase.
Premium fuel, tires,oils ,filters ,brembo brakes and you need $$ to keep it on the road.
There are cheaper options but nothing compares to this.
All the “off road driving” you showed, i could do in my seat arona 😂
People buy the old ones for the image 🤔
Park up next to a new suv and you will see it's not as big a car as you think.
Yes it's not small but the latest cars are getting fatter and fatter.
Nice vid 😊😊
great vid but you forgot to explain why
Cheap to buy horrifically expensive to fix😳
that's the general jist...😅
Have you got one
There two types of people when it comes to cars.
Mechanics and victims.🙂
Моя любимая машина.
It’s so cheap now because £80k vehicles can still have £80k car running costs. All it takes is one big repair and you can easily have a £3k bill. And another one a few months later. People are happy to shift a 13yr old Range Rover for £7k before they get a huge bill. You know what the Aussies say…..if you want to go into the outback, go in a Range Rover/land rover. If you want to get back again, go in a land cruiser 🙄
Land Cruiser 100 Amazon series would be my first choice.
Go price up a 59 reg 100 or 200 series.
Eye watering purchase money 💰💰
@@ukvette because they won’t be throwing up £3k bills, unlike a £7k Range Rover
It doesn't matter what the car is. My old man is stuck in Tenant Creek with a blown turbo on his GU atm it's gonna take him a week to get back to Melbourne but he wouldn't have it any other way. He still laughs at me for buying an L320 TDV8, I don't mind the repair bills though. Regular maintenance is the key for any vehicle.
We run a tdv8 l322 and have done for the last 6 years . It’s towed plant trailers daily , hauled 3 ton diggers around Devon and Cornwall and got our lads home from site in the snow . It’s serviced religiously and the only fault we have ever had is 1 leaky shock in some 73k
Maintenance isn’t that expensive at all . Service them well and often however is the secret ! Infact I only ever lift the bonnet to add screen wash . Nearly as good as a land cruiser then 💪
There cheap because there overpriced from the beginning ☺️
I disagree. Electric cars aren't selling that much really. They just very hyped
Stats? New electric cars outsold diesel last year lol. Are you living under a rock?
@@Blackmamba12345 nope. They certainly did not. You are aware the UK is not the world right?
@@stardustmusic448 Well as this video is targeted to UK audience then I'd presume you were talking about UK car market. Incidentally the UK car market is one of the largest in Europe so that also has a large effect. What country are you referring to then??
@@Blackmamba12345 Australia, North America, Africa, South America, a few Asian countries. Pretty much the world excluding Europe. Here in south Africa electric cars aren't really what people want. They range rover money and we want better public transport. Too many cars on the road
@@stardustmusic448 But this video is targeted at the UK car market for reasons why to own a RR in UK. Other countries are completely irrelevant in this instance.
