Bottom line is that it won't be as low-maintenance as a Toyota...or probably not even as reliable as a Ford Explorer. I think if well maintained it should be fine but it will wear parts more than you're used to like bushings, brakes and such. There are also known issues that you have to watch for like diffs, FOBs, park brake actuators, rear hatch lock/handles. The sunroof drains leak if not cared for, the cowling allows water ingress, the diffs need to be serviced more than what was spec'd. Also weird faults show up if the battery is not fresh or if there is a tail light that is not properly functioning.

These forums help. You will either be an LR3 technical expert in 2 years, or a FORMER LR3 owner in 2 years.

 

Thx Houm_wa, i will keep that in mind. I dont mind doing the work myself.

 

so the dealership didnt want to fix any of the problems the car had and only wanted to drop $1000 when it would need around $3000 more to be in excellent conditions. Oh well! gotta keep looking.

 

i have another question. how can i update an LR3 Navigation system? i know that a lot of times is just a DVD. How much would it cost me?

There is a connector in the middle of the console that i dont recognize, any one know what it is? its above the cooler.

Thx
