It's a European SUV

Up front: European vehicles have different strengths/weaknesses. This is my second LR3, my first being an '06 SE. As The motor and interior are fabulous. The high-revving jag 4.4 is eager to please and the air suspension modes find good positions in both regular and sport modes. Seating height, visibility, and cabin space are delightful. Plastic-y materials on the doors and console make for a cheaper feel but the ergonomics and design easily make up for it. Exterior design has aged well. The LR3 is an easily pleasing vehicle to drive and own, when it doesn't have common issues arising on a regular basis. Mechanically, there are some items to be aware of: chassis and drivetrain components seem to wear quickly as well as a couple of common electrical quirks (Tire pressure sensors finnicky, CD changer issues, rear hatch latch). Any forum search will show the common issues. In both my LR3's I've had to replace some common items that are pretty spendy. Between tires and mechanical repairs I spend about $2500/year in repairs (I get about 3 years out of tires). Granted I've purchased both of them at about 50k miles and all these parts seem to need replacement over the next 50k. I have 115k on my '08 but I still love it.

I love my Land Rover, I've had it for 21 years, of course there are things that slow down, but you have to fix them to keep the car running. It's like when you get sick and have to go to the doctor for medicine. Once you have the car running, you have to fix it every time something goes wrong. It's expensive, but it's worth it, because once the car is paid for, you can keep fixing it and everything will be fine. Not to forget this car are Royar style car, the Monarch is known for having this type of car as part of their own vehicle for lifetimes. This is the reason why I buy this car. I believe you can put around 400,000 thousand miles on it before changing the engine unless your accident. Right now, my land rover has 200,000 and runs like new because it is a v8 engine. If you maintain it all the time it will do fine. I have a lady that was running and she so that i was parking in park. She stopped and said to me you have a beautiful land rover, and she says how old is it so, I told her it is 21 years old, and she couldn't believe this car still look like new.
