Anything to look out for for reliability? I知 looking at this one. Seems to have been a problem child that got sent back then fixed I assume given the car fax. Car fax said it was lemon law. What could have cause it coming back? Random stuff or anything trending. I知 a car guy I work on my own vehicles and will be looking into tuning the diesel for more mpg and power. The whole DEF thing seems dumb to me. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...20200522489954

Ask for the full report from Landrover. They will send it to you. They will also prolly take 35K too. I was looking for one and looked at a couple lemon buy backs. Only Landrover will give you fair market value if later you trade it in..... Anyone else won't touch it, or give you 2 or 3 K.
I bought a 2017 HSE Lux TD6. I love it. I do my own maintenance. if you get one, I'll share all the info I've collected.
Good luck!

I bought a 2017 td6 buy back or as LR says re-acquisition. Had an issue 100 miles from the dealer, got it fixed and it's been a great truck since. I use it daily and pull a 6k boat/trailer through the hills of virginia without a problem. It's probably not for you if you only keep vehicles 2 or 3 years. But my last tahoe I had for 8, my pickup for 7 so i expect when i finish with this it will be 2025.

Brand spanking new to this forum. Just started research on a 2011 ish LR4 or a 2019 ish TD6 HSE. I am a current Toyota Tundra owner who does all my own basic maintenance, moving to a SUV for camping purposes (solo so no need to get out and climb in to sleep). I'm leaning towards the diesel but I am worried I won't be able to work on it - how is regular/routine maintenance on a diesel?
