Preowned Car help
Hey guys, I have owned a 2003 Disco brand new, which I drove for 10 years and a 2005 LR3 which now needs to be replaced after 10 years. I'm looking at a 2004 Disco with 100,000 miles and a 2011 LR4 with 135,000. I live in SoCal and have a really good independent shop that I have always used and understand most of the pitfalls of Land Rover ownership. I haven't seen either yet but have seen the Carfax for both (no salvage titles or accidents), and they look like they've been regularly serviced but you never know until you get a close up look. If anyone has any insights to either, I welcome feedback. Actually, any advice on which to buy would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you are a business in SoCal with one to sell that's worth taking a look at and it can be financed, let me know.

It sounds like you have a great handle on the ins and outs of Land Rover ownership, and you've done your research on both vehicles. When it comes to deciding which one to purchase, it really depends on your needs, budget, and preferences. It's important to get a close-up look at both vehicles to make sure they're in good condition. Some dealerships offer live video streaming which is very convenient, if you can’t find one near you. I experienced this tool from Autoxloo during the pandemic..

Hey guys, thank you so much for the advice and replies. Just a quick update. I've decided to change directions and purchased a 2013 Range Rover Sport from a dealership and will pick her up next week. I'll try and post pictures and give a full update of the condition after I bring her home, but it appears to have been immaculately kept and wasn't even listed for sale yet when I found her!

Hey everyone, thanks for the great advice and just wanted to post a follow up. After a very lengthy process, I ended up purchasing a 2013 Range Rover Sport HSE LUX from a BMW dealership. It has about 92,000 miles, great maintenance records and I was able to purchase an extended 3 year warranty! I just picked her up today and it's so much fun to drive. I've done my research and know that there are issues I should look out for. However, are there any services recommended before my 3 year warranty expires? Thanks for all the feedback and I'm going to hate to leave the Land Rover forum and head over to the Range Rover forum because I've gotten such great advice over the years with my Disco and LR3.
