Hey folks - good to be here.
I'll get right down to it without wasting anyone's time.
i am seeking to purchase a used RR - a 2019 Autobiography V8 with 62k miles on the clock from 1 owner and clean carfax, being sold at an independent dealer. It appears they provide some warranty backed by 'SafeGuard and GWC and NIADA Warrantech'.

i do not have any personal experience with RRs.
My question is, how safe is it to purchase a RR with a whopping 62k miles?
Would you guys say that it's an automatic No?
Or do these 2019 RRs typically go that high in miles without issues? am i toying with a ticking time bomb?
where can i purchase an extended warranty?
What are your thoughts and recommendations?
Thank you all in advanc.

 

Always a good idea to purchase an extended warranty with a Range Rover. They are great vehicles with very complicated and sophisticated electronics and components that tend to be expensive to fix. In general, they are reliable and the V8 motor is a proven powertain used across many LR vehicles. 62k miles is a low number for a 5 year old car. With proper maintenance and upkeep, there is no reason that engine will not go 200k miles plus...Good luck!

 

thank you for a thoughtful response.
I read awful stories from folks about 3rd party warranty companies and their general refusal to actually cover issues. Any recommendations on which 3rd party warranty is good?
any experience with EnduranceWarranty?
Thank you.

 

I have no experience with aftermarket warranties but make sure you read all the fine print as the devil is in the details. I would make sure all electronics are covered such as screens. Check this link out: Land Rover Extended Warranty: Overview And Plans (2024) (motor1.com)

 

Thank you very much!

 

I have had a 2018 model 4.4 V8 from new, 30k miles, and it's been faultless. Good as new at the moment. I know this engine is reckoned to be one of the best and would expect it to be good well into the 100,000's of miles. Generally, running costs are reasonable but anything remotely major is expensive so x-warranty a good investment but read the coverage smallprint.
