I work at Mayo Clinic and we have classifieds ads where I found a 2013 Land Rover LR4 LUX for sale. I've always been intrigued with the Land Rover, especially the unique design and box frame. The car is a one owner vehicle and I've seen the CARFAX which shows that it has had all routine service done at a Land Rover dealership. The car looks new, inside and out and I can tell it has been very well-maintained. It has just under 129K miles so it has been driven fairly lightly mileage wise over the course of it's lifetime. It's selling for $9900 firm (I live in Wisconsin) I've driven the car and it rides beautifully. I've read (don't know if it's all true) that the 2013 LR4 has the highest reliability among this model which is encouraging if indeed true. I also read about Land Rover's general reputation of poor reliability and this concerns me. So my questions are: Is it true that the 2013 Land Rover LR4 has the best reliability in the LR4 class? The owner just replaced the vacuum pump and, as I mentioned, it looks like all routine service has been done at Land Rover dealership. If there is a good reliability record on these, what kind of mileage do owners accrue on these LR4s (200k - 250k??) before putting up the money becomes hard to justify due to the remaining life of the car. What are the chances of me putting too much money into this car in the next 25K miles. If I bought it, I would want it to serve me well for the next 3 years or so and I figure that would get me up to 165K - 170K miles. I'm especially interested in those of you out there that own or have owned a 2013 Land Rover LR4 and how many miles it has given you relative to repair costs. Thank you! I look forward to the seeing replies to this thread.

 

Just curious, have you purchased the car yet? If so, how pleased are you so far?
My experience has not been so good. Air shocks and O2 sensors. None of these is cheap or easy.

 

So far, so good. Only put 2k miles on so far. I had it thoroughly inspected by an independent import car mechanic and it checked out good at 131k miles.

 

Good to hear that. When it runs, it’s a pleasure to drive. It’s the part failures, difficult and expensive to fix, that are disenchanting. Wishing you good motoring.
