A Mack truck decided to make a U-Turn infront of me yesterday and my little car slammed into the side of it. Now my daily driver is totalled and I am looking at getting a used LR3. I don't know very much about them and was needing some help. What years should I be leaning towards? What are common problems that they have? Are they rediculously expensive to maintain? Should I buy a certified pre-owned? Should I get the expented warr? Blah Blah Blah... Any help would be greatly appreciative. I will mainly be using the LR3 for everyday travel but I am not afraid to take it up to the mountains and getting a little dirty. My other toy is a 1982 CJ7 but I dont want to drive it everyday. I am looking to spend close to $20,000 for a used one. Am I being unrealistic with the price? Thanks again

 

We hope to welcome you amongst our ranks. This question comes up probably once a week or so, so doing a search will net you better results than I can give you in a post. That said, I love mine, have had zero problems. They are more reliable than previous generation Land Rovers. I had a Discovery 2 before the LR3 and loved it but decided on the LR3 because the Discoveries were known for early fatal engine problems in some model years.

 

Thanks geo, I'll try the search function again. Everything I put in there yesterday said "no results"

 

yep, i must be an idiot because i still get "no results", i know there are probably 20 threads on the subject. anyone have a link? sorry
