Hello, I am thinking of buying a used LR2 2012 with about 50K miles or less if I can find one. My budget is about $25K about 10K-12K will be taken out on a loan. I am wondering if this is a good idea based on what everyone hears about reliability on LR products. I have never owned a land rover but want one to be my next car. If need be I can spend up to $30K! (If I'm completely in love). Im also interested in Range Rover Sports as there are some available around here with about 50K miles as well in the 28K-30K vicinity. What should I go for? I do drive up to Tahoe about once-twice a year and besides that I commute to my job 12 miles there 12 miles back every day. What should I choose!? I want a SUV for my next car!!

Thanks for any advice I have a good job so i can afford maintenance and repair but I am not rich!! Please help thank you so much for any input!!

There is a reason the LR2 section is very small on most forums. LR products aren't the gold standard for reliability, and the LR2 is definately near the bottom of the barrel. I would wquicker tell you get the sport and deal with those issues than LR2 issues.

Especially if you are taking a loan to finance this purchase. At least with a RRsport, it would be an easy vehicle to sell, compared to an LR2
