2014 RR; Am I Crazy??
Long time Jag owner here, wondering whether a 2014 Range Rover (LWB; SCV8; ~70K miles) is a bridge too far...
The 5.0 XJ Jags were fairly well sorted by 2014; how about the L405 RR's? Are they as thoroughly bad as JD Power and general opinion paints them? I ask, because Jags share the same sort of reputation, yet are actually great cars, IF you know which years, engines, etc to avoid (which I don't).
Doing a search on this site says 2018+ RR's are favored, with some sort of warranty. My opportunity is a '14, minimally dealer serviced, 3 owner, zero warranty RR. BTW, I do all my own Jag maintenance and repair work. Dated screens, etc don't bother me, but endless electronics issues do. I have a good JLR OBD2 scanner.
Am I Crazy to consider this 2014? Better to wait for a later model?
What say you?
