Really. Faaaack. I can't afford that.  I've always wanted one
Perhaps I'll just lease a new one for a year.  Save long term

I love the srt GC.   But the hemi is killer on fuel and not sure about the latest model but I know older models didn't even have a tow option due to centre exit exhaust

New SRT is a fucking beast, 6.4 L, 350KW engine, 624Nm torque. Awesome machine, but it would drain your wallet for petrol.

I just think there are so many better options for far less money. Also insurance will be through the roof.

Good for going off road (how often would you really do that?) and not much else.  Exceptionally poor reliability... would not allow anyone I care about to buy a RR.  Bah!

Doom disapproves.

As a rule: Don't buy anything from the UK made after 1960.

I own a current sport model , so far too early, 3k miles no problems. I also alternate driving with another vehicle. Great car but I've heard many stories , lots of electrical problems and little stuff here and there

once your warranty runs out get ready for about $3k a year in repairs and maintenance.

I was looking at them a while back as well. general consensus was either lease it or buy brand new or with less than 20k and get a warranty and sell it before the warranty runs out.

shit, Range Rover are just a name...they used to be the SUV that was reliable 20yrs ago.....JD power and associate put out a list of cars that drain the wallet and Range Rover was second on the list as having more issues.....3 out of every 10 range rover will head to the mechanics after 3yrs of usage...damn.....British don't make these SUVs anymore, their prestige is no longer what they used to be...Land Rover had 220 problems per 100 vehicles.....wow

The only car worth leasing. You won't want to own it.

Junk.  Trash.  Garbage.  Unless you are getting one that isn't made for the US market.

Parts very expensive.  Reliability by way of electrical/program issues.  MUST go to a dealer to fix about 95% of your issues, tacking on absurd repair costs on top of pricey parts.

the listed MPG is like 12-15, but in reality you get 8-10 avg.. and it's not as big inside as you expect.

there's a reason range rovers go for less than 10k, they're shit after a few years.

I loved the h2, but 8mpg sucks and it's not like I couldn't afford the gas, but it's a pain in the ass stopping at the gas station every couple days to fill up.

for a luxury truck/suv, I'd rather get a 09+ escalade or even a pre owned GL350 diesel or gl450.... gf has a GL550 and it's nice. not quite like an S-Class Suv equivalent, more like an E-Class.

hell, for $20k you can pick up a CPO Tahoe.

if you get an ML, everytime you pull up next to a GL you'll get jealous. (same with an E-Class pulling up next to an S-Class, or even a CLS (an Eclass with bodywork) pulling up to an S-Class)

I do like the QX56's though.

slim pickin's for luxury SUV's  :-\
