Sorry I know it is a breach of forum protocol to come in asking questions about reliability, but I am at work and dont have the luxury of engaging a proper forum search so here goes. Check my intro thread elsewhere for general details.
I am looking at buying an '08 HSE with just over 100k miles, CPO certified. I have never owned a Rover so I am curious what I am getting myself into. Any thoughts on common things to look out for on a unit with this kind of mileage? There is also an '07 SC available with 110k but what little reading I've done has kind of scared me off of the supercharged engine. I heard anecdotally from a coworker whose wife had a RR (not certain if Sport, SC or HSE) that the brakes require frequent maintenance. Any truth to that? Anything else? I dont want to get killed on maintenance, though I realize I am looking at a luxury SUV so I may have to seallow my medicine. Any hope of DIY maintenance on these? For reference, both are priced well below $20k USD.
Thanks for the feedback.
