Interested in LR2
hey,
i am looking into a 2010 LR2 with 54,000 miles and there seems to be no damage. We are a huge land rover family. My dad has a 94' defender 90 and my mom used to have a 2011 LR4. I know that there is not a ton of off-road capability, but I am looking for something more fuel efficient. Kaelan 2013 BMW X5 2007 BMW X5 1994 LR Defender 2011 Toyota 4Runner 2010 Mercedes G63 |
Well there no Defender 90 but there good for what they are. My wife just went from an 04 Discovery (that is now my daily driver) to a 11 LR2. She really likes it and it does have more conveniences than the Disco has. I work in service for a LR dealer and we have the least problems out of LR2s than any other model. The early ones are a 6cyl Volvo engine and the new ones are a 4cyl turbo.

2010 lr2
I just purchased my first LR2. It is a 2010 with 54000. I have had it for a week and love it. It ride is very smooth and the looks great.
Mine only came with 1 key fob - so I have to get that sorted. And the horn concerns me. Seems these are small things to resolve. |

I hope it's not as expensive as a Volvo: $350!

Key Fob
Well, I was going to buy a fob from a dealer online and the have an automotive locksmith do the programming and cutting of the blank. And that is not happening. Called 4 automotive locksmiths here in MN -- and none can do it. Called the dealer and they will only cut keys that they sold and with proof that I own the car. That last point is not an issue -- but it is the first time I have ever come across that. So off the dealer I go. $302 later the fob and key blank are on order and will be here in MN in 7 to 15 days. Then I have to set an appointment and for another $160, they will cut the key and program the fob. Sigh -- the cost of having a great car.
|
So the total is in. Key fob and key blank = $301. Programming at dealer = $148 for a total of $449.
Now to get a new cover for the warn out key.... :D |
Thanks for your follow-up. I will be guarding my key fobs like they are expensive jewels.

Still liking it? My wife is tired of a stick, what she likes isnt in the budget at this time, and a local dealer has an 08 for sale. What do I need to look for on these? Owning a p38, I have a high tolerance for pain.... she does not.
Very glad I purchased a Service Agreement -- since parts and work on these vehicles is not cheap. |
