I am a current early 2005 LR3 owner and am looking to get rid of it. Too many problems and I'm getting nervous as I approach the end of the warranty in the next year or so. I am interested in purchasing either an older Disco or Range Rover.
I know this is a hard question, but is there any particular year of Range Rover that stands out above the rest? Or a year to stay away from? I'm looking at some used Range Rovers in the 1998-2002 range, but am willing to look at older ones assuming they are reliable and won't cost me $4000 a year in repairs.
What can I expect as far as reliability (this will be my primary vehicle)? Is there anything that is a common failure point in these vehicles?
I guess I want to be sure that repair costs don't end up costing me more per year than just keep my LR3 with higher payments.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations or advice. I will be posting a similar thread in the Discovery forum.
