Potential 2018 Discovery purchase
#11
Did you buy an extended warranty for your 2018?

Yes - I bought the 2018 Discovery new and did extend the warranty. I went with one extra year and 75k miles on mine.
It's strange that they can't just tag on the additional year. I've bought two CPO Jaguars and both had one extra year and for both I bought the additional year on the spot.

Despite lots of people calling it an "extended warranty", it is very different from the factory warranty. Far more exclusions and exceptions. Still worth it in my view as insurance against major engine or electrical issues. But it won't cover a lot of items that the factory warranty would cover. I bought it for peace of mind and hope to never need to use it.

No - that's not correct. I have the factory warranty for the normal period then the same extended program as the CPO for one more year. It's exactly the same as buying used with a CPO.

Dumb Supermodel
Hi all,
My last rover was a 2006 LR3. We are looking to come back to the brand and eyeing a certified (for 1 yr) 2018 HSE Lux that's out of state..
We have an option to pick up a 2017 HSE Lux locally but my guess is you guys would sway me towards the 2018? From what i understand, only for the LCD speedo cluster and CarPlay functionality in 2018?
It's got 45K miles. Is there anything I should check on or request them to do before purchase?
As a side note, I plan to do some aesthetic mods and i'm assuming i'll be able to easily retro fit the dynamic black mesh grille and perhaps the square exhaust finishers on the rear. Also need the larger wheels.
Thanks so much!

My supermodel is currently at LR service in NY, (350 miles from home) where it's been for 17 days after completely breaking down on a road trip on I-95 in rush hour traffic. It has under 14,000 miles. I was told it's a computer module, which has since been replaced and they still can't start the car. While driving I lost power steering, blinker use, hazard lights, driver blind spot assist and the stereo before all instrument panels went completely black. If nothing else, shouldn't the hazards work while the rest of the car is totally malfunctioning? Isn't that the entire point of the hazards?
Anyway, It was quite a terrifying experience being in stop and go traffic, wondering if the break lights work and if the 18-wheeler barreling down is going to slam into the car before I can get off the highway. Two days prior to that fun road trip it was in the shop for the airbag light that would illuminate when my husband drove, but not when I did. It got a software update followed by a clean bill of health and completely died 2 days later. A month before that we left a restaurant only to have the parking break stuck and unable to be released. The car needed to be towed for another week of service, once again, the fix was software.
All in all, this has been the least reliable car I've ever driven. BUT, if that doesn't scare you, I know of a beauty still under warranty going on the market really soon!
