Hey, I am new here and just wanted to ask a few questions.

I am 16, and looking to get a new car. There is a 1995 Range Rover for sale, and it has 113k miles. It has nice interior, leather, and everything. Plus custom rims, and custom sound im pretty sure. It is selling for $5,000. What I was wondering is how many miles a Range Rover will last, because I want to make sure it will last me a while. The year is also something I am not sure about, Im not too familiar with the 1995 Range Rovers.

Also, do they handle well in snow, with 4x4?

Any responses would be well appreciated! Thanks!

 

By the way..its the 4.0 SE

 

Same advice I would give to anyone buying their first used Rover...

You can buy the older ones for a pretty reasonable initial cost. Here's the problem; they're very costly to maintain. Unless you are a skilled Rover mechanic and have a relative that can get you parts for a reasonable price you could easily get way in over your head trying to keep it on the road. The mileage isn't necessarily high for the age but is to the point that costly items will be failing shortly, if they haven't already. Main concerns are the EAS, (electronic air suspension), head gaskets, CV joints, differentials, transfer case / transmission and a host of other electronic components. Rovers are great all weather / terrain vehicles due to their full time all wheel drive. So, good choice in that respect, but possibly not the best choice for a young person with limited mechanical experience & income.
