LOL, yes, I read "why I love my LR" and there was no one that mentioned they love them because of the great gas savings or that they never break down....LOL! They just love'em :smiley_drive:
There are several for sale, milage at about 70K to 140K from probably $5K to 10K, not much for a $40K vehicle just a few years ago. I have to say that in the used market that's alot of luxury for the $$!
But that's if I get to drive it and pass a few gas stations too. I wouldn't buy a Prius either as IMO they aren't sufficiently tested on the road yet.
I could easily buy a LR with the sales tax money I've paid from past years buying all kinds of vehicles. My problem has always been upkeep, I do take care of them, but new, old doesn't seem to matter alot, it's either keep it in the shop for dealer required maintenance for warranties or keep it inthe shop because something broke. I love all kinds of vehicles and a curse them all. LOL
I appreciate not having the flowers and sunshine puffed up my as*. Maybe I could have a Pathfinder shortened and put the disco body on it!
This thread might help with the same question being asked so often since the issue is in the title. I couldn't find the overall reliability except as stated. You guys have sure mentioned all kinds of qurks though, not much on mpg.
I think that if I went with a $5/6K specimen, it would mean twice that in maintenance...that old "you get what you pay for" addage. Going 10/15K and still having some issues along with the gas bit I think is probably too rich for my blood now. 10 years ago I should have done this, but I'm a retired phart now and don't feel like throwing savings in a vehicle, I have other things to burn money on and who knows how long the fun will last! I like to get off the beaten path and travel, but now I see why so many old pharts are in motorhomes (not that those things don't break something every two thousand miles!).
There is still time to talk me into it! I do like them!:coffeedrink:
