The Land Rover LR3 is no stranger to our forum with recent adventure-equipped offerings including this 2005, 2006, and 2008. It’s also a favorite with the Expedition Portal team with features on LR3s from Front Runner and La Aduana. It’s a vehicle that seamlessly blends rugged backcountry capability with plush interior luxury, yet remains an underappreciated value on the pre-owned market. It’s remarkable that the LR3 HSE cost $70,000 new but can be picked up today for less than $10,000. With this in mind, cue today’s 2006 Land Rover LR3 HSE (203,000 miles), which showcases desirable factory options and is priced at just $9,500. That’s a lot of bang for your buck, which is why there’s no shortage of inspiring LR3 builds online from the likes of Onasled Overland, T3 Time 2 Drive, and FJ Matt. It was also Expedition Rove’s platform of choice for completing the infamous Pan-American highway.
From the Seller:
“Other than the paint oxidation, the car is in great shape with a clean title and no accidents. The tires have approximately 60 percent tread. There have been tons of maintenance and repairs during my ownership, with only synthetic oil changes every 7,500 miles or so. It’s been a great car that has been used for numerous family trips. The kids are now grown up, and I need to clear up space.”
