So i am sure this topic has been talked about many many times, but it seems like it still generates comments everytime someone brings it up. Well i guess this is my turn.
I am currently living in Las Vegas, and after so many years of wanting to buy a vehicle capable of going out into the open desert, i am almost at the point of needing a new vehicle. Needing because my current daily driver is at a point were any major repairs will be worth more than the car. To me, this is the point were you sell and buy something new. And to me, something new would be an older, more affordable Range Rover; which just happens to be a vehicle that i've always wanted!
So being from Las Vegas, and the desert reaching extreme temps in the summer, vehicle cooling and cabin comforts are a high priority; as is mechanical reliability if out in the desert in the middle of summer. For this i am thinking of buying the best within my budget of about $35k. So probably an 08-09 with low miles, or an 09 and newer with higher miles.
Should i be concerned with having an extended warranty?
What about higher miles, say in the range of 70k and over? I like to hang onto my cars, so reaching 175k miles is a goal.
I won't buy a Rover without a PPi, and from what i have heard, newer models aren't so much of a nightmare in the maintenance/upkeep department. Is this still true?
Gas mileage will suck compared with my current daily, but i have assimilated that fact, is there anything else i should keep in mind?
Thanks for reading, and i hope to see some comments fromthe collective. Especially from people intue Las Vegas area.
