Default New "Rover" Question!

Hello!

I have a few questions...... We are looking at a 1997 Range Rover 4.0 with 135K miles for $6,000. Everything seems to be fine. What do you guys think? Is a later year better? To many miles? Any and all help would be great. Thank you so much!

Price is good and the mileage isn't that high. Plan on doing lots of service on it soon just to insure lots of mileage out of her.
Good luck,

Well, when we looked deeper, we actaully found a 1999 4.0 SE, with a Carfax, 117K miles, for the same price ($6K). No accidents, and everything is "in order." What do you thunk about that? Thank so much for the help, a RR really does seem to "have it all ".

get the 99 since it has the bosch engine management. it has a little bit better power and reliability than the gems engines. it also has a stronger front diff and traction control on all four wheels, not just the rears.

What about the interior features? Is the interior more "reliable" then the previous years?

Don't think about reliable and Range Rover in the same sentence
This is not a Toyota...this is luxury and style with serious off-road ability.
If you like to find out how things work and love fixing your own vehicle then you will love driving your Range Rover.
