    Definitely GET WHAT YOU WANT but just be aware that Range Rovers are known to be terrible cars. Unreliable money pits. The G Wagon is an aesthetic but definitely test drive it before you buy. You might be surprised at how...basic it feels. It doesn’t feel like a 6 figure ride lmao! I would say that whatever you get, be prepared to have high maintenance costs. I would even go so far as suggesting that you keep your current car as a backup. You never know, man. Even with an expensive luxury car. I drive a BMW and I kept my Chevy JUST IN CASE.

    Raven I’m sure you’ll never see this. I have to say though that I love the way you buy what you want yet still save and are responsible! Some people act like money is not for making purchases. I’m not talking about irresponsible purchases but responsible purchases of things you want. In other words: “Work hard/Play hard.” I am old enough to be your mother and I’m soooo proud of you. Your parents did a great job with teaching you about money. Savings on lockdown and necessities on lockdown too. Keep it up.

      Nicole E Here in Germany, most of the G-Wagon drivers are huntsmen and „outdoor“ people 😂 because in the end it’s more an off-road vehicle. The gear makes it kind of „uncomfortable“ to drive. It has never been extremely hyped in my country, only in the last few years since they‘ve made it more like „bougee“ 😂

    I'm a Mercedes girl forever & always. Have always had at least 1 in my garage at all times (since age 18). The maintenance of them is through the roof! I bought my kids each a C-Class for their 1st car, so now I'm maintaining 3... It's A LOT! 2 of them still have warranties & I'm paying about $10k/year for upkeep. I LOVE the Range Rover Autobiography. What I know about Range Rover is they used to be a subsidiary of Ford, until Ford sold them to Tata Land Rover-Jaguar brand. They also have an awful track record for maintaining. They're ALWAYS in the shop. Especially now that they don't have Ford backing. Jaguar's are known throughout the car industry as NOT reliable, Land Rover follows right behind that. I almost bought one about 10 years ago until my Dad came to me with all the "Car & Driver" info that I couldn't ignore. I passed & went with another Mercedes. I'm not a fan of BMW. Just personal preference, but I'm sure my Dad can give you facts on that. LOL!! If you guys want a 2019, I can help you out. I have a good relationship with a couple Mercedes Dealers. Let me know. But, one last thing my Dad instilled in me, since I was little... "Never buy anything you can't pay cash for!" It's something I've lived my life on & passed on to my babies. I know everyone has thoughts on that, but it's how I do things. If there are tax breaks, etc. for doing it otherwise, I get it. But, since I've lived my life like this (didn't always listen because I liked shiny new things)😜, I feel like I not only appreciate the things I have more, but also keep them longer & take better care of them. Good Luck to you guys on car shopping! You both deserve a nice treat... xo!💕

    The G_Wagon is 100% the #1 for a lot of us. As a person who has had a lot of different luxury cars I'd say... reliability is Mercedes first, drivability is BMW. I haven't looked into the Range Rover for a few years because their maintenance rating was low for a few years. I'd rather be driving my car instead of paying for repairs all the time. I'm in my 40's so I am more interested in how it drives, cost of repairs, and safety options.

    I heard you say you're just looking which is good cause you definitely don't want to buy a car during the house process cause it can change your debt to income ratio. Many people buy things and causes them to no longer qualify because they will run your credit again before the closing. Just a tip.

    My mother has the BMW x5 and it is ALWAYS in the shop. She bought it brand new and it is consistently in the shop for something. I have a 2009 Acura MDX and it rides amazing and have had NO issues in the past 5yrs (got it used lol). I would truly look more into the durability of a car over the looks. It could look great but break easy and cost a fortune to fix. Look into how much simple things like oil changes, replacing tires etc will cost as those are reoccurring expenses.

      I was just about to write something similar because at the end of the day when one's car needs to get fixed. I remember my dad had a range rover (used) and it constantly had to be fixed as well as parts had to be shipped from another country (he eventually sold it). When getting a car, durability will always trump (no pun intended) looks.

    G wagons are actually really great cars. As far as reliability goes they’re pretty bulletproof. And the small things that happen with it aren’t all that expensive to fix. I have a 2003 g500 with almost 200,000 miles and I never have any worries with it. Not to mention you can take the car to any terrain.. snow, desert, mountain you’re fine. And the nice thing is it doesn’t really age so it’s a really great investment.

    Keep in mind the G wagon only gets 12 miles per gallon on premium fuel. I think you would be very happy with the Mercedes GLE. They are reliable, do not have the problematic air suspension problems, are very practical, reliable, and last a long time. Pretty good on gas too. If you want a truly reliable luxury car, look at the offerings from Lexus.

  • @GlammedByJaye
    @GlammedByJaye 5 років тому +1

    Raven, please take your time and decide. I've owned a BMW for 12 years. Make sure you get the best/longest warranty you can. Once the warranty ends, you will have to pocket all the maintenance and upkeep out of pocket. Believe me when I say it's NOT cheap. I'm sure with all luxury/European cars it's the same. I recommend googling "common" issues with each of those vehicles. Then, price what it would cost to fix it. Although I can afford it, as yourself, I feel sick each time I have come out of pocket to fix it. Nothing is less than $1,000.00 each time. Not to mention, everything seem to start breaking at once.
    However, make the best choice for you and Ziya....get whatever you want, you deserve it!❤

    I've always been a benz girl since my first car in 2012 which was the c300. Speaking from real life experience its completely worth the money! You only get the oil change done once a year, i've never had an issue with any of my cars and neither has any of my family members. The biggest thing though for me is even as the car ages it still looks new and can compete with the new models of toyota, honda, ford etc. BMW and range rovers mechanically aren't reliable. Benz or nothing. Don't think about the price tag, think longevity.
