I have always wanted a Land Rover and just picked up a 2006 LR3 with 70k miles on it. I LOVE it. I had the local Land Rover dealer go through it and repair a few things and perform the 75k mile service early as well. They replaced the steering rack due to some blown seals, both front lower control arm bushings and ball joints, front tie rod ends, and a few other misc items. About $3500 in all. I now am confident everything is in good proper working order. I was expecting to fork out some money to get everything in solid working order, so it's all good. This site has already provided a ton of useful information contributed by some extremely knowledgable LR junkies

 

That's pretty inexpensive for all the work performed.
Do you mind sharing the dealers name?
and Congatulations!
