Default Buying My First LR

Hello,
My wife and I own a 2014 GLK 350 and want to trade in our Dodge stratus to purchase an LR4 to add to our garage. I believe I found a good deal, any thoughts? What should I look for before I buy?

Land Rover LR4 HSE

Thanks! I can't wait!

Check for fluid changes, trans, transfer case, diffs, antifreeze also. Brakes are not cheap, check pads and rotors. Make sure suspension raises and lowers properly and the trans settings work in all modes. Hill descent should work at low speed. Check headlights for cornering as the move with steering. Everything on vehicle is synthetic and all proper fluids are expensive.

What is the life I can expect if the vehicle is well cared for?

Our first D1 (96) wife drove as DD for 13 yrs., My Classic Range went to 200K, before I sold it, my (96) Range P38 we t to 150K, and my now LR4 (2011) clocks 62K, bought with 24K 2 yrs. ago. Since I do 100% of my own work and maintenance I'm sure mine will hit 200K. So, with proper maintenance, not necessarily dealer service, which is basic to me, should last til it falls apart or rusts thru. Electronics are like anything else, need a change occasionally.
