Bought the vehicle 4 years old and kept it until 2008. Our 2nd RR. Probably better experience then most on a RR. This car has been vary reliable. Not typically the case from what I read. Key is to find a reliable NON DEALERSHIP mechanic. Remember it's a Range Rover, not a Toyota.

Owning this vehicle is a combination of highs and lows. Overall, we hate the RR most just after we've paid another $2K repair bill. We love it shortly before it breaks again. I'd never buy another. We bought it as a family hauler right before the birth of our second boy. It's done OK there - hauling us to Tahoe a few times, never stranding us anywhere, plenty of space inside. However, its resale value has dropped so quickly that we're upside down on the loan and can't sell without paying $$. The controls - especially the power window switches - are infuriatingly obtuse. The owners manual is more than 200 pages, and you have to read every one.

I've owned my 1996 P38 since new and the first 20 years to 2016 were regular service only. Since then I've had some major (expected) repairs to bring it back to "as new". The 4.6 rover engine itself is bulletproof but the stuff around it, after nearly quarter of a century is what cost. But it was $120k brand new so spending $10-15k now is a bargain when you consider I've now got an as new car that should last another 20 years. And, it's still in mint condition, looks great and as time progresses I'm increasingly getting compliments from complete strangers about how great "my" model ranger looks. I've even had strangers approach me and ask if it's for sale including my Range Rover specialist mechanic who wants to buy it for his own use if ever I want to sell. He loves the P38 and like me thinks that at current prices they are a bargain. Selling my ranger will never happen. I have a 2007 Lexus LX470 which is more powerful, smoother, quieter, fuel efficient, you get the gist, but my old ranger is the one I love to drive most and it turns heads. My 5 stars is for the pure joy the car gives me on many fronts. If I amortise the cost of maintenance and repairs over the 25 years I've owned it I'm more than happy.

My Range Rover has been a joy to own, other than regular matinence it has been a real treat. When the occational problem arises it is costly to go to land rover but the quality of work, and the atmosphere is great! My Rover has never left me stranden, and that is very important to me and my family. We feel very safe and secure in this primier SUV. It is a 10 for me! Join the club!!!
