Would you be concerned?
I am new to this forum, not because I own a LR but because I'm itching to buy one. I am considering a 2016 LR4 Landmark Edition. I understand the rabbit hole I'm about to venture into. I think I'm as crazy as all of you are, but my goodness... I want one so bad! I found one that I'm considering but with no experience, I'm looking for feedback from this community to help me navigate me through this. The LR I'm thinking of purchasing shows this info which I've compiled from the CarFax:
THANKS!
- Battery replaced - Nov 2017 (1 year after it sold as new?)
- Shift Lever/assembly replaced - June 2022
- Exhaust Pipe replaced - Oct 2022 (This doesn't say very much)
- Heater hoses and water pump replaced - Nov 2022
- Oxygen sensor replaced, Cylinder head gasket replaced, Cooling system hose replaced, Serpentine belt replaced, Drive belt(s) replaced - All replaced in AUG 2023
- Antifreeze/coolant flushed 2x aug 23, feb 24
THANKS!

Hey everyone, I'm still actively searching for an LR4. As I look over CarFaxes and service records I frequently see "Intake Manifold Gaskets" replaced. What would cause the need to replace the Intake manifold gasket and if this seemed to be the only major repair on record, would you move forward with a purchase? I found 2 vehicles with good records, mostly from Land Rover dealerships, and this was the only significant repair. Otherwise, the vehicles seem to be healthy. Any thoughts? Thanks again for your experience and feedback!

Thanks for your input on this. So if the intake manifold gasket was repaired and that was the only indication of concern, would you be comfortable moving forward with the purchase after repair? It's a 2016 LR4 and has less than 70k miles which is what I like about it. I appreciate your thoughts.

I don't know how I can answer that question.
Intake manifold gasket isn't an issue.
Was all servicing done at the suggested schedule? At what frequency was the oil changed? Does the dealership stand behind the sale with a warranty of any sort?
How about the body and frame? rust? has it been cared for?
Good luck!
