P. S. If I would have bought a new car at lets say 45k then in 5 years another at 45k... well I could put 45k in this and make it new with all the upgrades including galvanized chassis and new engine top hat liners and whatever they make! heck !
I know I know I didn't factor in the resale value of 7k after the 5 years lol

The initial resale value of these Land Rovers has historically been atrocious. My first Range Rover was about $53K when I bought it. Less than four years later with just over 50K miles on the odometer I couldn't get more than $20K for a trade.
If I still had that truck today, maybe I could get $10K for it if it was in pretty good shape (unlikely after 20+ New England winters). Of course, I shouldn't dwell on the $50K in service I would have spent on it in over 20+ years on the road. The vast majority of these trucks should be enjoyed while they last. When they're past their expiration date, move along.

you know what is ironic... with all the talk about rusting out... here in south florida east coast side , I goto the pull u parts occasionally and there is usually 1 or 2 discovery and maybe an older classic range rover... and very few had much rust... fames all looked ok and bodies usually smashed on one side or the other.... top ends of engines pulled but many engines still in... hmmm maybe were in a good place for Landys! but the plastic rots away like it was cellophane in a high wind!
