Doug, the day the warranty expires, sell it back to CarMax. Depending on how much they offer, and taking into account the value of the warranty repairs, you might even come out ahead!
They would buy it back..i work for carmax, His range rover wouldn't end up on the front lot. it would be auctioned off at the auctions carmax holds for other dealers to buy their cars they don't find value in rebuilding or don't meet their requirements.

Suboptimus Lime in other other news, Ha Ha Max, previously known as CarMax and know known simply as Oh, DadMax, has been taken, in its entirety, by Billy's Father in a stock swap for the sum total of one long distance phone bill including charges to 900 number party lines and one dorm room phone number registered to a "Big Tits McGee", in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Billy, also known as Da Man, is said to be totally devastated and could be grounded forever or until "your mother let's me sleep inside the house again....."
Range Rover put the shit in shit box. This piece of shit should in blasted to smithereens as nearby military base using a bazooka. How can a horn and radiator fail?
Man....The design team at Range Rover/Jaguar are awesome, the cars are works of art from the outside. But you'd THINK by now that they'd train their mechanics & assembly lines to build/fix cars that last longer than 2-3 years lol. My XE is in the shop getting worked on right now, got a rental car Evoque & the infotainment system stopped working hahaha XD
I live in Australia. When you take a 4x4 into the Outback here, your life can literally depend on your vehicle. And nobody-NOBODY-takes a Land Rover product. They take a Toyota.
I just spent 10 months driving Australia in my LR Discovery 3. Traversed every gravel road, beach, hill climb and goat track I could find from Cape York to Strathgordon and experienced no major issues. Great car :)
rene skytte There are several Australian off road channels with Defender or even Series. The army Defender is tough! The Land Cruiser is main stream but the Land Rovers are still there.
This is the best CarMax commercial ever ( no seriously, its awesome). Its making me seriously consider getting a CarMax warranty for the next vehicle ( if I go that route).
lilrabbit129 don't forget that not all cars are as unreliable as this Range Rover. They're notorious for their mechanical problems. For the most part you won't be needing their warranty not to mention the fact that you pay a lot more money for their cars when compared to other dealerships. Add the warranty with the extra costs and you pretty much have more than the repair costs for any reliable car.
Not always. It's important to remember that they are one of the few used retailers with strict quality control so you aren't just paying for a sticker. The warranty can be expensive but your vehicle is covered for almost anything that goes wrong. There extended warranties are better then the warranties from any new retailer from what I've seen.
doug, a key to the warranty is before it expires pay the dealer to do the "certified " check. They will find all kinds of stuff they never looked for or you even knew was broken
I bought a 2009 Maserati Quattroporte from CarMax in 2012. I bought the same warranty, as of today " after adding all my receipts " minus the $50 deductible, it has totaled $19,303.12. not bad for a $3700 warranty add on!!
circlehousePRO Well, there interest rate is pretty high compared to buying new. As soon as my warranty is done, selling back to CarMax. I've heard there warranty prices are higher now than when Doug and I bought ours, but my receipts don't lie. CarMax has basically bought me a new car ;-D
And over 130,000 miles on average. Some cars like Range Rovers, Mercedes, and Cadillac's won't be bought with over 70,000 miles. I have the great fortune of working in purchasing with Carmax.
Nah. That won't happen, since most wanna-be Yuppies that buy these buy them to look cool and rich driving around San Francisco, Praying to Jesus the repair Bill that is surely coming 6 weeks in the future doesn't cause a Divorce lol
@@1970borntorun unfortunately doesn’t apply now since JLR is owned by TATA and the L405 and L494 are reliable. These L322s were terrible but they were from the Ford era. Ford helped make terrible range rovers
Yup, I bought a 2007 BMW 335i from carmax and I also bought their warranty. Warranty was about $3000. They have paid at least $15,000 in repairs, just two moths after i bought the car, I blew one of the turbos, they replaced both turbos, a $7000 job. that by itself has payed off for the warranty. CarMax warranty is the best, it's through CNA btw.
This isn't the case with most of the cars they sell. But some cars like Range rovers, Mercedes, BMW, etc. are very high maintenance and they cost a lot to maintain. My BMW was actually for sale as a certified Pre owned at a BMW dealership 3 weeks before I bought it from CarMax, so they actually have good cars.
It's the brand, not the fact that it comes from Carmax. If you buy a run of the mill Toyota or Honda from Carmax you'll likely have a totally uneventful experience with the reliability - however many paranoid customers do opt for the warranty anyway which helps offset the insane claims made by German car buyers :P German cars are just inherently unreliable, especially when it comes to electronics. They're not made to last long beyond the warranty period.
thereapergrim Thats just pure fucking Bullshit. The 335i are all known for Turbo failured, 330i or 325i for example not. And after a certain amount of time some parts are worn out, but thats the case in all cars! You are just generalizing atleast 100+ models from different german Carmanufacturers to be unrealiable, yet I bet you never even owned one
+TheBuzzlin, the way he gushes about Honda damages his credibility. My boss and my sister-in-law have strongly warned me to avoid Honda. They're fine at first. Then comes one small repair. About a year later, another thing breaks. It costs more. Then you start noticing problem after problem. The Accords and Civics are pure garbage. After 50,000 miles, the problems are just as numerous as the Range Rover. My boss heard I was shopping around for a car and told me firmly: "A word of advice, don't get Honda. They USED to be great but the brand is slowly going down the toilet."
Why would they do that? This has to be the most effective, cheapest ad campaign they could ever dream of. If they offer Doug anything, it will be to *extend^ the warranty so he'll keep writing and doing videos about it.
It has cost CarMax 15k for Doug to advertise for them for 4 years and probably send quite a few customers their way. That's a steal. I bet they check his column every day, hoping that something breaks and they get to fix it with the accompanying positive article from Doug.
It is painfully obvious that Cherry Hill Land Rover is extremely fraudulent and not actually replacing parts. That is why the horn and steering column motor keep failing, they have never been replaced with new parts, yet the dealer keeps billing CarMax for fake repairs.
Suboptimus Lime not all dealerships are like that. I'm a totally honest guy and no matter how bad a day I'm having, I never do a bad job because of it. Customers deserve better. Probly why our dealership has 4.9/5 stars on google
Leased a 2018 Range Rover , after 4 months of sensor failure after sensor failure , leaving me stranded 3 times , returned it to dealer , and with help from a lemon law lawyer , got my money back , went for a Toyota Highlander , never looked back , and will NEVER get another Range Rover !!!
@@LIVINSPAC Nah man, be careful with yours, my dad's 2017 TD Discovery Sport has had some serious issues, I understand that it may have been a faulty unit,but the LR dealership never said anything about it being a faulty unit even after the repairs. Thank God it was under a 5 year warranty my dad spent only a grand on. Repairs: faulty fuel pumps and cooling system(at 8k miles), some spark plugs failed for some reason(at 15k miles), and then the car would start turning off it self and struggling to turn on, turns out a lot of the ignition electronics had a shortage(at 37k miles) after the dealership fixed it my dad just sold it and bought a GLC and it has been much more reliable, it now has 44k miles and he only had to change oil and brakes. Keep in mind, never the Land Rover guys told us what caused the issues, we only had access to the recipes of the new parts they'd put. The dealership really tried to mask their brands unreliability, we had to guess what the problems were. They spent over 12k on repairs and didn't tell us how serious they were, we thought that we could have the car in a day or two. Turns out the shortest time we had to wait for a repair were 12 days, and the longest two actual months. They gave us an evoque as a spare, however, it was a gasoline car, my dad's was a diesel, which meant he spent a lot on fuel he hadn't planned on spending, and had to be constantly on gas stations( the evoque has an awful fuel economy to its power). PLEASE NEVER BUY FROM JAGUAR, OR BRITISH CARS ( except If you are rich and dont care about expenses).
Chrysler yes, dodge nah, dodge is more reliable even though the engine is a Chrysler engine, cause the guts in challengers are german made, the chassis is german made, the transmission, the brakes are all german. So build quality is exceptional. The engine is actually good despite being chrysler.
archinuk417 totally agree , why people try to look good in these pieces of junk, buy a new one and then sell it in 4 years and if you cant afford it, get a new pick up , that will last years and years , dont try to be what you are not .
Wasn't MG short for Morris garage.........long pedigree of grumbles as well. Glad to say we have a disco2 that has served us well for 500 thousand kilometres but as you say know your product well with your own tools
I own this piece of shit but I love it so much. I no longer take it anywhere to be fixed because I have fixed nearly everything to a point where I know all the parts and how to replace them in my driveway all alone with my tools. Rule number 1- Know junkyards in your neck of the woods and be a mechanic as soon as you buy one. Commercial mechanics are super thieves and should be avoided at all cost. With cold front blanketing East Coast, I didn't want to fix my last breakdown in my driveway so I took it to a supposed 'great shop' in my neighborhood to fix steering column! The parts and labor they quoted was $7700. Like a joint user, I said F it and drove it to a nearby LKQ junkyard and pulled the part myself and paid $31. Drove home and after 4 hours of jamming afrobeat while working on my rover, the machine was ready! I saved $7669.
Hands down my Favorite Doug DeMuro review. His glee at reading off EVERY SINGLE repair that was covered was priceless. thanks, Doug. We completely felt your joy here.
But CarMax is not repairing the car. The Range Rover Dealer is reparing it. So CarMax does nothing but paying the bills. This Range Rover is just a giant piece of junk, nothing range rover or CarMax can do about
I would hope that the Land Rover dealership knows (or has learned) how to insert these parts. Sounds like a design problem that has never been fixed. So it will keep failing if he were to keep using it as a daily driver.
I own 4x4's myself but warranties cover normal wear and tear. Check any vehicle warranty it will have exclusions for things like improper vehicle maintenance, misuse, abuse or neglect, vandalism, fire, off-road use, racing, collision or impact. Warranty Claims are denied and invalided all the time for off-road ready vehicles. If they see mud packed in your wheel wells, rock dings and/or scratches on the under carriage, you might find yourself without a drivetrain warranty and a court battle to have it serviced under warranty. It's screwed but that's the way it is. Each manufacture is different on how strict they are.
The older you get the more you understand why people just purchase a camry. People just need to get to places and handle things, not deal with this crap.
Thanks Doug, you've cured me from ever considering a Range Rover, though I've always wanted one! Carmax really needs some better management that understands when to just buy back the car and crush it and take the deduction. They also need to develop a list of dealers with such flawed repairs and variable billing for the very same ones.
Unless you buy a reliable car then the warrenty is not worth it but if you buy any land rover product, GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, these cars are junkers
Im driving a 2006 Honda ridgeline. 189,000 miles on it. in 12 years changed a radiator and stabillizer links. Using it for work (masonry). Thats i call reliability.
Is there not a warranty on all the garbage parts you are buying? Why is CarMax replacing something numerous times, and is the dealer not paying for it.
Gaming Culture because they probably aren't diagnosing the correct problem. If a horn doesn't work, it could be a huge amount of different things that caused it
edward james eventually CarMax may catch up to them and demand they find the real cause of his problems. idk. I know that GM tracks it's warranty repairs so this doesn't happen.
I sold my 2011 Land Rover LR4 to CarMax in January. It had a huge dent in the side, needed a new transmission because it couldn’t pass smog and the transmission was so bad it bounced like a low rider. I was told by the dealer it would cost 40k to repair everything. CarMax paid me 10k.
Hail to the victors valiant hail, to the conquering heroes hail, hail, to Michigan the leaders and best! Hail to the victors valiant hail, to the conquering leaders hail, hail, to Michigan the champions of the west, GO BLUE!!
@@shallnotbenamed814 Carmax Maxcare comes with rental reimbursement. Demuro's point was that IF YOU CAN AFFORD MAXCARE, you can afford the luxury tax of being a 2nd-5th owner of a British or German shitbox. Luxury cars are often annoying anyway, why do you think the original owners abandon them before 30,000 miles?
I read once that Range Rover enthusiast absolutely would never own one w/o a full bumper to bumper warranty and normally get rid of them after the warranty or lease.
Nathan Smith indis agree it’s a good reliable car as long as you buy it with good service history, and my God man do service it. Do not service it as though you are servicing a Buick. It’s expensive to service yes I admit but think of the car you are getting it’s complex to give you luxury. I had mine for 2 years now no warranty and it’s excellent and no warning lights drives like new and very reliable. I think people don’t know how to look after them hence all the BS about it.
@@Arthur9646 you shouldnt have to pay 2000 a month to service any car no matter how luxurious. This is literally the worst defense of land rover. If anything you should be paying for quality materials and craftmanship so it shouldnt hurt a well built car to go past its magical service date. They have never been and never will be a reliable brand.
Warranty aside, the notorious unreliability of Range Rovers coupled with the fact that they sell (sold) like hot cakes really gives an insight to the degree of stupidity of their owners. A friend of mine started with the P38 which was horrendous, he swore to never own a Range Rover again, but like an addict he fell in the next financial disaster with the L322. Total cost of repairs since 16 years of ownership (both models) $27.800. Let that sink in.
That's not true at all, and as bad of a rep as ford gets, they make products that are light years ahead of Range Rover in terms of reliability. Do a little research and you'll see that LR/RR products have always been horrid, and they still are.
Land Rover/Range Rover make a lot of products that supposedly cater to a wide array of people, the common denominator is they're all horribly unreliable, even brand new. LR/RR has gone through many different owners and they've always consistently stayed unreliable. From Ranger Rover Classics, to modern full sized behemoths. Fords aren't always the most reliable cars, but they're far superior in that regard to LR/RR, not that that's saying much.
I took over a lease on a 2015 Mercedes C300. This is my list of replacements and repairs done all under warranty on that vehicle over the course of just this February, one month! Every week was a new trip to the dealer... Replacements: Front driver's side window (wind noise) Driver's seat headrest (broken adjustment) Driver's seat back pocket (broken by dealer) Left front axle shaft (strange noise) Right front axle shaft (strange noise) Left front upper control arm (strange noise) Repairs: Panoramic sunroof rattle (x2) In-dash rattle(x2 but has returned) trunk rattle (clip fell off inside trunk lid) So all in all, my first German car experience... Well, I love my car actually, it is truly a pleasure to drive, but damn would it be expensive to own out of warranty.
I'm seriously thinking I might buy a car from carmax for the warranty. How does it work, you take it to any dealership to get it fixed and CM takes care of the price?
Boss When you buy MaxCare (the plan Doug's got) you can choose your deductible. The minimum is $50, but CarMax will give you $50 off if you take it to them. So $0 at CarMax, $50 at a Land Rover dealership.
I had a warranty from CarMax for my S2000 and they replaced the whole convertible top. Worth every penny for technical vehicles. If you sell the car you get the prorated warranty back!
You take it anywhere you want it to get fixed and let them know you have a warranty taking care of it. The dealer/shop you're at takes care of the rest. When it's time to pick up you waltz in and pay your deductible and that's it. It's usually that simple unless you run into issues of them not wanting to cover something.
So if I understand correctly, the single greatest car you have ever owned is a total bomb for everyone but the mechanic? Oh and you plan to keep it after the warranty, I'm certain that will work well for you.
In 2009 I bought the 2006 Range Rover for wifey. Let me tell y’all this has been the best car I’ve ever own. In almos 10 years with our RR and only minor repairs and regular service done. We had few offers and we can’t get rid off her. Love the ride every time we drive it and still looks great.
Do as all Range Rover owners here in Australia have done. Bin it at the next most convenient opportunity arrives... We don't see any of the older 2000 onwards model's much remaining on the roads. What we do see is the old school 1980's boxes driving around more.
Andrew Slazmo I have an 04. Haven’t had any issues with it. It’s got 160,000 miles on it and the only things I’ve replaced is the tires and battery in the 4 yrs I’ve had it. I’m going to find some wood to knock on now, lol.
danny notofconcern probably indefinitely. It's the same as insurance. I bet they've sold thousands of warranties where it paid out very little compared to the cost of it. I am surprised they don't have some sort of cap though
Sounds almost play-by-play like my 2004 Mercury Monterey mini-van (Mercury badged Ford Freestar). I bought it when it was three years old, when the original 'owner' returned it at the completion of their 3-year lease. It had only about 20k miles on it. The dealer did a 'certified' checkup and repaired everything on the list, including putting on new tires, brakes, replacing a cracked center console section, hiring a firm to re-sew some upholstery that was damaged due to the previous owner's kids yanking on the pockets on the rear of the front seat. The dealer also provided a Car Facts report, which looked clean. I think I paid $13,000 for the van. The dealer offered a bumper-to-bumper aftermarket warranty policy for $1,300, which I took. Had never taken an extended warranty or anything of the like before, and considered them to be probably some kind of rip-off, or at least a risky crap shoot like playing the lottery. Within the first couple years I had it, the warranty had kicked in over $8000 in repairs for things like the tri-zone air conditioning having all three loops' metal piping rotting out, power locks failing, power windows failing, steering issues, brake master cylinder failing, some sort of electronic engine control module failing, two wheel bearings failing, etc. Ten a year later the engine suddenly lost power in the interstate highway in the middle of a snow storm. I was able to limp the van to the nearest deal, which was closed, and take a taxi home. Turned out something in the ignition had fried, and it was necessary to replace almost everything in that system, including all of the individual ignition coils, which required dropping the engine to get at the rear ones. That repair was over $2000. So the warranty had kicked in something over $10,000 so far. Just before that warranty ran out, the brakes had another expensive issue, the transmission had an expensive repair, there was another electrical issue, and a couple other things I forgot about now. All paid by that warranty. After the warranty ran out, the van has luckily been pretty reasonable in terms of reliability. I replaced the tires because the ones the dealer had put on when I bought it were hard riding and noisy on the highway....the Michelins I put on have been great. Ford sent me a safety recall due to fears that corrosion would compromise the rear seat's attachment to the body, and the dealer had the van for a full week to implement the 'kit' provided by Ford to remedy this issue, but that was Ford paying for the repair and not the warranty folks (they also paid for a five day rental of another mini-van). About the only other stuff that has gone wrong since then is the rear brakes have caliper issues; they keep failing to retract fully and the brakes drag very slightly, resulting in two instances where I had to pay for replacement of rear rotors and pads and calipers. Contrast that with my 2003 Honda Accord which I drove over 200k miles in 10 years, and the 2013 Accord I bought to replace it, 70k on that so far. Did not buy an extended warranty on either, neither of them cost me more than oil changes, filters, tires, and very rare brake repairs when those wore out. Never any issues I noted that would cause me to see a mechanic or the dealer. Both cars had a couple recalls each, always for some fairly minor things that had apparently happened to others but not to mine, e.g. replacement of a wiper motor because some owners had experienced internal motor corrosion that could cause the wipers to fail when most needed. I still drive that Mercury mini-van, since I use it as a sort of enclosed cargo vehicle and on occasion when i want to haul visitors around to see the sights.
Doug: Have you been in contact with Land Rover NA, because that shit is ridiculous. Is that four horns, tre tilt steering column motors, two air suspension struts? Their QC on parts must be horribly sloppy.
Johan Sidén Most of it is faulty designs. Automakers make more money on parts by forcing model-year specific parts on cars (even though some newer model years have better part designs) at dealers that they know will fail again... it's a cycle.
Nice part about being in the EU, faulty design = covered by legislation. Not only the part itself but any (sort of) damage the faulty part causes. Say for example the strut breaks and damages the subframe and wheel = covered.
Who currently owns Range Rover ?? Drove a petrol sport once and wasn’t particularly impressed with the somewhat standard but wielding cumbersome handling . High seated position was advantageous but seemed to give a feel of unease like a pendulum effect. Reliability was never the ultimate forte of a Range Rover but listening to Doug his experience is plain diabolical. Car max honouring their warranty as any reputable company would is worthy of a award for perseverance. I’m not about to say Doug celebrity status might have an influence as this after the numerous claims would’ve surely been exasperated. Lesson here people if you don’t have a Range steer clear and avoid the possible addiction. Car max I take my hat off to you because many a warranty firms would have thrown the towel in and left their customers stranded rather than risk bankruptcy after all it is a business. Doug great informative video as always .
Glad I bought a Shogun now. It was a toss up between the two but having worked at land Rover and seen how they're made plus the reliability issues the shogun won it!
So that's the best auto purchase ever because you bought a total lemon, paid enough for a warranty that you could have purchased a good used car for that same amount and then you have to take it in for repairs for the same problems over and over. Sounds like you not only need a different car but a different mechanic as well.
It's very sad for me to watch this video. I' ve been dreaming about Range Rovers my whole life and I was planning to get one as my first car (an old and used one of course). Now I know It is not gonna happen, but thank you Doug for preventing me going broke
This can break both ways.... either they're losing bags and bags of money on warranties like this and stop offering them (less likely as most cars people buy are far more reliable than a Range Rover so they come out ahead at the end of the day) OR they love the free advertising Doug's infamous Range Rover is giving them and are happy to keep fixing it!! I'll guess it's the second. And it works since with a warranty like that, I'm much more likely to go to Carmax for my next vehicle.
All this sums up to Range Rovers already have a reputation of frequent repairs ( high cost of ownership). So... does it wimper, creek and try to steer you in when you pass the dealership?
I’ve been wanting a Land Rover forever!!! Now with your video I think I’ll get one!! I was freaked with the cost to keep it going but now!! Thank you!!
Phill Huddleston two thirds of all rolls royces ever built are still on the road. Some of the rarer examples are now worth hundreds of thousands, millions in the case of early silver ghosts. I don't have the numbers but I suspect the same longevity is true for Bentley and Aston martin. Land rovers are highly sought after, especially defenders and older series, so much so that prices are shooting up. The UK makes some world beating cars. Admittedly it also makes / made a few shit ones- but look at the USA who's car industry defined built in obsolescence!
I share your experience. I bought a 2012 LR Evoque with the CarMax warranty. 2 months ago they replaced the engine and the turbo (Engine failed because of the tuebo). Total price paid by warranty: $14,000. Prior to that I think I've had over $6,000 in repairs. So ... CarMax warranty? ABSOLUTELY.
They're prestigious vehicles with beautiful interiors, that appeal to those who want you to know they are wealthy or appear wealthy. However they're among the least reliable vehicles you can buy with prohibitively expense parts. If you want to buy a dependable vehicle with reasonable maintenance and repair cost along with good resale value because of that, buy a Japanese vehicle. As always a well done and entertaining video but Car Max's warranty didn't pay you for your wasted time having all these repairs addressed.
Some rich people love to spend money though and will even boast about the repair costs. The most expensive and richest town near me has terrible roads because the cars are all Audis and Mercs that have great suspension and don't feel the bumps and hey a £3000 repair bill is something to impress the neighbours.
Land Rover is especially bad though, literally the worst. Why wouldn't you go with another brand anyway? The romantic British appeal of Land Rover died when all of the switchgear became Ford based, the brand prestige isn't there because they don't change much from year to year and almost everyone who has one bought it used for less than $40k, the iconic styling has given way to an ugly and needlessly complicated pedestrian safety blob that's only vaguely the same shape as a vintage Range Rover, the G Class, LX, and Patrol/QX80 are all better offroaders, and just about any luxury car has a better interior. Even a base model Buick Regal feels less cheap inside than a platicky loaded Range Rover, and has more useable tech. A 2018 Range Rover is a plasticky trashy poorly built ghettomobile, at this point a Chrysler 300 probably carries more brand prestige and has nicer interior plastics. Yes, the queen drives one, but hers is heavily modified, blacked out, lengthened, has had every interior service wrapped in real high quality leather, and actually looks good. Besides, the Swedish king drives a Volvo wagon, does that make Volvo comparable to Mercedes or Jaguar? Hell no, and the Toyotas driven by African dictators aren't seen as the height of class and luxury just because important people drive them either. Only obsequious tasteless fools hold the cars of the British monarchy to a different standard, if the car's crap it's crap no matter who owns one.
Rhiad Marhes Dickheads like that I would no associate with, anyone who has to boast about cost of repair and how expensive the vehicle was are vapid empty no personality people. They have little to add to any conversation and are of poor character.
I beat the hell of of your warranty claims with just one of numerous warranty repairs on my VW Touareg V10 diesel, $18,776. My total has been over $40,000 in warranty repairs. Turbochargers and DPF’s replacement. Good CarMax really paid a more in repairs then I paid for it. Last repair was the headlamps and one didn’t function with in three days and they couldn’t find the reason. Traded it on new Atlas, with one year of warranty still left.
My2CommonSense what's wrong with buying a house? I have a 4 floor 10,000 sq house, and love it. Has a 200" home theatre projector with indoor pool and hot tub. I love it.
+akahomie100 yea, idk what he means by never buy a house. It cheaper than renting. Renting makes you feel pathetic, miserable and worthless, unlike owning a house.
getting married makes life cheaper if you and your spouse are working. buying a house is very good idea. in the long run it's cheaper than renting because once it's paid off all you have to pay for is utilities and property tax. after you retire and your income is reduced substantially you'll be glad you bought a house.
Wrong. Every house payment you make is like putting money in the bank. Your gonna get it back and some at sale time. Renting is flushing cash down the toilet.
Word of advice to Doug: literally sell the Range Rover to your worst enemy, claim you're calling a truce. Then grab some popcorn, a drink and watch the show!
One of my friends who has always had higher end cars...had a 1999 Mercedes C280 Sport black on black back in 2001...He did buy the extra Mercedes Starmark warranty..they paid out over the course of the warranty over $19K on repairs! He loved to get the loaner cars though...He had a Range Rover given as a gift from a client once...(nice clients)..he sold it as the warranty was up!! He knew what a money pit they were..Every car even the 2012 BMW he bought in 2014 he bought the extended warranty..I said I don't think you will get any use from the BMW warranty as they are good cars..WRONG!! It's been in the shop many times as well!! Thanks to Doug's video I can confirm that Range Rover is a unreliable auto!!!
Doug , your the greatest ...my wife says , I wanna trade my Benz for a Range Rover. So I Meet this guy who is literally is trying to give it to me , and he says I’ll trade tomorrow. I’m thinking in my head , wow I’m going to be getting a great suv. But as always, I pray about things first, and got on TH-cam and first video that comes up is yours. So after this , I won’t even look at the rover , unless Its given to me. Lol - Thanks bud

Doug, the day the warranty expires, sell it back to CarMax. Depending on how much they offer, and taking into account the value of the warranty repairs, you might even come out ahead!
This Does Not Compute Omg that would be hilarious! That would totally Rustle their Jimmies! 😂😂
I'm Jewish, and even though that is extremely unethical, it would be hilarious if they actually bought it back. lmao
And after you sold it back, buy it back with a new 6 Year warranty
The only ethical thing todo is fill it up to the roof with candy, suspending it from a small crane and handing out sledgehammers.
They would buy it back..i work for carmax, His range rover wouldn't end up on the front lot. it would be auctioned off at the auctions carmax holds for other dealers to buy their cars they don't find value in rebuilding or don't meet their requirements.

Suboptimus Lime in other other news, Ha Ha Max, previously known as CarMax and know known simply as Oh, DadMax, has been taken, in its entirety, by Billy's Father in a stock swap for the sum total of one long distance phone bill including charges to 900 number party lines and one dorm room phone number registered to a "Big Tits McGee", in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Billy, also known as Da Man, is said to be totally devastated and could be grounded forever or until "your mother let's me sleep inside the house again....."
Range Rover put the shit in shit box. This piece of shit should in blasted to smithereens as nearby military base using a bazooka. How can a horn and radiator fail?
Give it to Arnold, & use it in his Crush Things charity campaign
Man....The design team at Range Rover/Jaguar are awesome, the cars are works of art from the outside. But you'd THINK by now that they'd train their mechanics & assembly lines to build/fix cars that last longer than 2-3 years lol. My XE is in the shop getting worked on right now, got a rental car Evoque & the infotainment system stopped working hahaha XD
How much of the car do they need to replace before they say, "That's not the car we sold you."
bryceowen lol
bryceowen I see some philosophy in this comment.
AK Safwat yeah it's like the whole "if you replace the handle and the hammer head on a hammer is it the same hammer"

They're hoping the vin plate on the dash breaks and needs to be replaced.
I live in Australia. When you take a 4x4 into the Outback here, your life can literally depend on your vehicle. And nobody-NOBODY-takes a Land Rover product. They take a Toyota.
I've heard this
I just spent 10 months driving Australia in my LR Discovery 3. Traversed every gravel road, beach, hill climb and goat track I could find from Cape York to Strathgordon and experienced no major issues.
Great car :)
What a load of BS; so nobody drives a Defender in the entire country!?
rene skytte
There are several Australian off road channels with Defender or even Series. The army Defender is tough!
The Land Cruiser is main stream but the Land Rovers are still there.
Look at isis combat footage in the middle eastern deserts, its all toyotas.
This is the best CarMax commercial ever ( no seriously, its awesome). Its making me seriously consider getting a CarMax warranty for the next vehicle ( if I go that route).
I've purchased two cars from there. best service I have experienced anywhere. 30 day money back guarantee and awesome extended warranty options
good for you nigga
lilrabbit129 they jacked up the prices of all the warranties after doug' videos came out. I don't think even he would buy their warranty now.
lilrabbit129 don't forget that not all cars are as unreliable as this Range Rover. They're notorious for their mechanical problems. For the most part you won't be needing their warranty not to mention the fact that you pay a lot more money for their cars when compared to other dealerships. Add the warranty with the extra costs and you pretty much have more than the repair costs for any reliable car.
Not always. It's important to remember that they are one of the few used retailers with strict quality control so you aren't just paying for a sticker. The warranty can be expensive but your vehicle is covered for almost anything that goes wrong. There extended warranties are better then the warranties from any new retailer from what I've seen.
I wouldn't be surprised if CarMax goes out of business soon at this point.
He's the exception to the rule. They would just raise warranty prices if they were losing money.
I think he says in one of the early vids that they did raise the price shortly after he got it.
I think they've about doubled the cost of the identical warranty that Doug bought
He probably got a faulty example. They should have replaced the whole car. I don't believe other people have so much problems with their Range Rovers.
does Carmax own their warranty company or is through a 3rd party that they sell and service?
doug, a key to the warranty is before it expires pay the dealer to do the "certified " check. They will find all kinds of stuff they never looked for or you even knew was broken
Ah the range rover. Hammond and May on top gear discussing how they both had one. Hammond : "Did yours ever, what's the word... Work?"
But it made it through the whole trip!
The Classic 3.5 or 3.9 are not like this electronic crap L322
I bought a 2009 Maserati Quattroporte from CarMax in 2012. I bought the same warranty, as of today " after adding all my receipts " minus the $50 deductible, it has totaled $19,303.12. not bad for a $3700 warranty add on!!
Christopher Smith absolute insanity how on Earth do they make money???
circlehousePRO Well, there interest rate is pretty high compared to buying new. As soon as my warranty is done, selling back to CarMax. I've heard there warranty prices are higher now than when Doug and I bought ours, but my receipts don't lie. CarMax has basically bought me a new car ;-D
not evry car breaks down... they sell thousads of these warranties.... think about the bank interest on 3800 dollars for 6 years
Aniket Shyam it's all a matter of credit lol
bank interest? seriously?
Sell it back to CarMax
I really hope that is what he does when he decides to be done with it. Although, it may be too old by that point
SOLOIIguru yea but they'll buy it anyway and auction out
paps511 They'll send it off to auction. Carmax wont sell any cars that are more than 10 years old.
And over 130,000 miles on average. Some cars like Range Rovers, Mercedes, and Cadillac's won't be bought with over 70,000 miles. I have the great fortune of working in purchasing with Carmax.
Sell it back to CarMax, then buy it from them again! With a new warranty of course!
$3900 for a 6 year warranty for an ancient range rover? what were they thinking? LOL
Lol I’m sure CarMax is rewriting heir extended warranty right about now 🤣🤣🤣
Hoovie must be in charge of their warranty department. 😂
CarMax actually already changed the policy because of Doug
Newer ones are better .......
@@jumperman1773 please elaborate
If you wanna go off-roading take a Rover. If you wanna come back take a Toyota.
Having a bad attitude
Nah. That won't happen, since most wanna-be Yuppies that buy these buy them to look cool and rich driving around San Francisco, Praying to Jesus the repair Bill that is surely coming 6 weeks in the future doesn't cause a Divorce lol
Have you ever said something original?
@@1970borntorun unfortunately doesn’t apply now since JLR is owned by TATA and the L405 and L494 are reliable. These L322s were terrible but they were from the Ford era. Ford helped make terrible range rovers
What the
Yup, I bought a 2007 BMW 335i from carmax and I also bought their warranty. Warranty was about $3000. They have paid at least $15,000 in repairs, just two moths after i bought the car, I blew one of the turbos, they replaced both turbos, a $7000 job. that by itself has payed off for the warranty. CarMax warranty is the best, it's through CNA btw.
Frank Nasrawi why are they selling cars that so imminently breakdown after sale? Sounds like they're selling piles of second hand shit tbf
This isn't the case with most of the cars they sell. But some cars like Range rovers, Mercedes, BMW, etc. are very high maintenance and they cost a lot to maintain. My BMW was actually for sale as a certified Pre owned at a BMW dealership 3 weeks before I bought it from CarMax, so they actually have good cars.
It's the brand, not the fact that it comes from Carmax. If you buy a run of the mill Toyota or Honda from Carmax you'll likely have a totally uneventful experience with the reliability - however many paranoid customers do opt for the warranty anyway which helps offset the insane claims made by German car buyers :P
German cars are just inherently unreliable, especially when it comes to electronics. They're not made to last long beyond the warranty period.
thereapergrim Thats just pure fucking Bullshit. The 335i are all known for Turbo failured, 330i or 325i for example not. And after a certain amount of time some parts are worn out, but thats the case in all cars! You are just generalizing atleast 100+ models from different german Carmanufacturers to be unrealiable, yet I bet you never even owned one
+TheBuzzlin, the way he gushes about Honda damages his credibility. My boss and my sister-in-law have strongly warned me to avoid Honda. They're fine at first. Then comes one small repair. About a year later, another thing breaks. It costs more. Then you start noticing problem after problem. The Accords and Civics are pure garbage. After 50,000 miles, the problems are just as numerous as the Range Rover. My boss heard I was shopping around for a car and told me firmly: "A word of advice, don't get Honda. They USED to be great but the brand is slowly going down the toilet."
There won't be any CarMax party because all the party supply money went towards your repairs!

breaks in the process of making it
The dealer knows you have warranty. So they find every possible issue.
And then some, they probably make some up too
I'm surprised CarMax hasn't offered to buy back the car and give you another car.
Not sure about Carmax but wouldn't surprise me if they are selling the warranty from a third party.
Kelvin N car max track repairs. this story is BS or he knows the manager .
Why would they do that? This has to be the most effective, cheapest ad campaign they could ever dream of. If they offer Doug anything, it will be to *extend^ the warranty so he'll keep writing and doing videos about it.
It has cost CarMax 15k for Doug to advertise for them for 4 years and probably send quite a few customers their way. That's a steal. I bet they check his column every day, hoping that something breaks and they get to fix it with the accompanying positive article from Doug.
CarMax is obligated to fix the issues. all doug is responsible for is his deductible if he has one.
It is painfully obvious that Cherry Hill Land Rover is extremely fraudulent and not actually replacing parts. That is why the horn and steering column motor keep failing, they have never been replaced with new parts, yet the dealer keeps billing CarMax for fake repairs.
John Clarke you are likely correct!!!
John Clarke Or they're diagnosing the wrong part
You guys are kidding, right? I mean New Jersey is exactly where I think of when I think of honesty, integrity, and people who male an honest buck...
you wonder if the horns keep burning out.
Suboptimus Lime not all dealerships are like that. I'm a totally honest guy and no matter how bad a day I'm having, I never do a bad job because of it. Customers deserve better. Probly why our dealership has 4.9/5 stars on google
Why do British sports cars have a passenger seat? So the mechanic has a place to sit.
James S It's not a sports car is it, duh.
James S funny but they are reliable. sometimes
I like that, very clever.
James S i will never ,never in my life will buy a british car 👎🏻
Not even the British buy them.
Leased a 2018 Range Rover , after 4 months of sensor failure after sensor failure , leaving me stranded 3 times , returned it to dealer , and with help from a lemon law lawyer , got my money back , went for a Toyota Highlander , never looked back , and will NEVER get another Range Rover !!!
Tiberius shatner you should get a Yukon, my 2002 has never stranded and it’s at 330,000
Wow... can't even lease it either huh, good to know.
My LR discovery sport had done 39k miles and haven't faced any single repair till now.Was that your bad luck.
@@LIVINSPAC Normal maintenance or something broke? You shouldn't be replacing anything mechanical or electronic at 39,000 miles.
@@LIVINSPAC
Nah man, be careful with yours, my dad's 2017 TD Discovery Sport has had some serious issues, I understand that it may have been a faulty unit,but the LR dealership never said anything about it being a faulty unit even after the repairs. Thank God it was under a 5 year warranty my dad spent only a grand on. Repairs: faulty fuel pumps and cooling system(at 8k miles), some spark plugs failed for some reason(at 15k miles), and then the car would start turning off it self and struggling to turn on, turns out a lot of the ignition electronics had a shortage(at 37k miles) after the dealership fixed it my dad just sold it and bought a GLC and it has been much more reliable, it now has 44k miles and he only had to change oil and brakes.
Keep in mind, never the Land Rover guys told us what caused the issues, we only had access to the recipes of the new parts they'd put. The dealership really tried to mask their brands unreliability, we had to guess what the problems were. They spent over 12k on repairs and didn't tell us how serious they were, we thought that we could have the car in a day or two. Turns out the shortest time we had to wait for a repair were 12 days, and the longest two actual months. They gave us an evoque as a spare, however, it was a gasoline car, my dad's was a diesel, which meant he spent a lot on fuel he hadn't planned on spending, and had to be constantly on gas stations( the evoque has an awful fuel economy to its power). PLEASE NEVER BUY FROM JAGUAR, OR BRITISH CARS (
except If you are rich and dont care about expenses).
Man, Range Rover makes Chrysler cars look reliable.
Altima NEO damn. I didn't even think that was possible.
Hahaha that's priceless.
WHOA! Settle down there, Satan.
Chrysler yes, dodge nah, dodge is more reliable even though the engine is a Chrysler engine, cause the guts in challengers are german made, the chassis is german made, the transmission, the brakes are all german. So build quality is exceptional. The engine is actually good despite being chrysler.
My 14 year old Jeep has seen it's share of repairs, but nothing to the tune of 12 at $15,000 +
Sell that junk before the warranty runs out..
archinuk417 totally agree , why people try to look good in these pieces of junk, buy a new one and then sell it in 4 years and if you cant afford it, get a new pick up , that will last years and years , dont try to be what you are not .
Antoine Sannfilipo I’m still waiting for the final update! I’m sure the warrant is up by now!
Why range rovers have the lowest miles per gallon SUV? Because they spend most of Of those miles behind the tow truck. 😝
totally agree with you mate
Wasn't MG short for Morris garage.........long pedigree of grumbles as well. Glad to say we have a disco2 that has served us well for 500 thousand kilometres but as you say know your product well with your own tools
😂😂😂
Fuck yeah. The Range Rover videos are the best.
Sell it back to CarMax when the warranty expires...make them pay for it again!
I own this piece of shit but I love it so much. I no longer take it anywhere to be fixed because I have fixed nearly everything to a point where I know all the parts and how to replace them in my driveway all alone with my tools. Rule number 1- Know junkyards in your neck of the woods and be a mechanic as soon as you buy one. Commercial mechanics are super thieves and should be avoided at all cost. With cold front blanketing East Coast, I didn't want to fix my last breakdown in my driveway so I took it to a supposed 'great shop' in my neighborhood to fix steering column! The parts and labor they quoted was $7700. Like a joint user, I said F it and drove it to a nearby LKQ junkyard and pulled the part myself and paid $31. Drove home and after 4 hours of jamming afrobeat while working on my rover, the machine was ready! I saved $7669.
Hands down my Favorite Doug DeMuro review. His glee at reading off EVERY SINGLE repair that was covered was priceless. thanks, Doug. We completely felt your joy here.
"I might keep it because it has a lot of new parts on it." Yeah....new parts that consistently FAIL within a year.
But CarMax is not repairing the car. The Range Rover Dealer is reparing it. So CarMax does nothing but paying the bills. This Range Rover is just a giant piece of junk, nothing range rover or CarMax can do about
Mark Herbert Or they don’t know how to install them properly
I would hope that the Land Rover dealership knows (or has learned) how to insert these parts. Sounds like a design problem that has never been fixed. So it will keep failing if he were to keep using it as a daily driver.
RWDtech if it fails within the year, most dealerships warranty their work for a year, so they can just keep replacing them I guess.
and what about "again" ;-)
Doug will get banned from CarMax because of this car.
Radiation Network Range Rovers are meant for off roading. Doug was just using the car as intended, not his fault range rover is terrible.
I own 4x4's myself but warranties cover normal wear and tear. Check any vehicle warranty it will have exclusions for things like improper vehicle maintenance, misuse, abuse or neglect, vandalism, fire, off-road use, racing, collision or impact. Warranty Claims are denied and invalided all the time for off-road ready vehicles. If they see mud packed in your wheel wells, rock dings and/or scratches on the under carriage, you might find yourself without a drivetrain warranty and a court battle to have it serviced under warranty. It's screwed but that's the way it is. Each manufacture is different on how strict they are.
You are kinda right but an off road vehicle with an off road use exclusion? Are you kidding us??
@@RadiationNetwork dumbass you could not be more delusional
@@RadiationNetwork Off roading is pretty standard use for a Range Rover.
CarMax doesn't pay for all the time wasted
Or the inconvenience.
Or ur funerals!?
All the time wasted on the stupid purchase “you” decided to make??
The older you get the more you understand why people just purchase a camry. People just need to get to places and handle things, not deal with this crap.
Scotty Kilmer was right. Range Rover is an endless money pit.

Who would ever want to buy a range rover after seeing this?
nico heidenreich fuck no
Just about all of eastern Europe's criminals, second-grade soccer players and their gold digger girlfriends and wives. :)
unless it has a *bumper to bumper warranty*
nico heidenreich not me
Someone that can get a 6 year warranty from car max,
Thanks Doug, you've cured me from ever considering a Range Rover, though I've always wanted one! Carmax really needs some better management that understands when to just buy back the car and crush it and take the deduction. They also need to develop a list of dealers with such flawed repairs and variable billing for the very same ones.
You know how your body replaces all your cells every 7 years? Well a range rover gets itself entirely replaced every 7 years
You convinced me two things, never buy a Range Rover and when buying a used car from CarMax get the warranty!
Does every CarMax warranty customer get treated as well as Doug? Thing about it!
Unless you buy a reliable car then the warrenty is not worth it but if you buy any land rover product, GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, these cars are junkers
Although the warranty did save you, but I see that you don't factor your time and hassle into the costs. All that trouble is not worth it.
He wouldn't have made any money off of TH-cam videos if the Range was reliable.

Jon Lin, EXACTLY! Time is money, and buying a reliable, trouble-free car, is basically a form of DELEGATION.
I have better things to do than be at a dealership. Over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Im driving a 2006 Honda ridgeline. 189,000 miles on it.
in 12 years changed a radiator and stabillizer links.
Using it for work (masonry). Thats i call reliability.
I drive a 2003 Honda Element. 16 years & 210,000 miles. Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Needs next to nothing over the years.
The Honda Ridgeline is also full of road noise, terrible shocks, and cheap interior.
@@Chinese_Chicken And yet the horn still works.
DMN8719, The horns works in my RR Sport and Tundra too. They're also not full of road noise and the ride is comfortable.
Are you sure? Because honda only offers pathetic half the warranty of Hyundai and Kia's legendary 10 year 100,000 mile warranty.

Hold up Edgelord. If you continue, to be that rude, I will fucking kill myself.

the take home, DO NOT BUY A RANGE ROVER!
Well near new ones are ok.
I HAVE EVOQUE NO ISSUE SO FAR
Newer models are not as bad but they still cary the reputation of being unreliable.
But it's only 9k ...
unless it has a carmax warranty lol
When you see the notification saying that Doug uploaded a new video, you know it's gonna be a good day!
This video is under 9 minutes long, there are 1440 minutes in a day
Are you going to watch this video 160 times?
Im so fast that i would be able to watch this video 360 times in 24 hours
yes. I've watched it 17 times thus far
DKMiniMix hell yeah
I thought excatly the same pal!!!!!!!
Is there not a warranty on all the garbage parts you are buying? Why is CarMax replacing something numerous times, and is the dealer not paying for it.
Gaming Culture the parts covered are usually cheap it's the labor for Cars that are expensive.
Gaming Culture but the dealer should be giving warranty on the whole repair.
Gaming Culture because they probably aren't diagnosing the correct problem. If a horn doesn't work, it could be a huge amount of different things that caused it
it's too complicated and expensive to investigate
edward james eventually CarMax may catch up to them and demand they find the real cause of his problems. idk. I know that GM tracks it's warranty repairs so this doesn't happen.
I sold my 2011 Land Rover LR4 to CarMax in January. It had a huge dent in the side, needed a new transmission because it couldn’t pass smog and the transmission was so bad it bounced like a low rider. I was told by the dealer it would cost 40k to repair everything. CarMax paid me 10k.
Looks like you have some condensation inside the passenger side headlight, Doug. Time for that warranty to step in.
Doug you should get a quote on Carmax to see what they value it at!
are the bumpers included in the warranty?
I think it's bumper to bumper warranty, but I'm not sure.
No, just everything between the bumpers.
Mihai Mihai it's not a bumper to bumper it covers all things that aren't meant to wear out

Better then before (which isn't saying much), but still not very reliable.
Buying a Range Rover ...... Dumb. Buying a Range rover with an extended warranty.....Genius.
It is still dumb, you will have to take it to repair it and wait till they fix it, which is very annoying for its frequency
@@shallnotbenamed814 Carmax Maxcare comes with rental reimbursement.
Demuro's point was that IF YOU CAN AFFORD MAXCARE, you can afford the luxury tax of being a 2nd-5th owner of a British or German shitbox. Luxury cars are often annoying anyway, why do you think the original owners abandon them before 30,000 miles?
Stupid to me.I've got better things to do than run to carmax for repairs.
Awesome...never thought I'd admire someone for buying a warranty...
So basically.....don't buy a Range Rover. Thanks for this video. Mind has changed.
I was about to buy a RR Sport tdv6 ! I am so disapointed... they are real moneypits!
Thats common knowledge. Only rich retards buy them then regret it and never ever buy one again.
I read once that Range Rover enthusiast absolutely would never own one w/o a full bumper to bumper warranty and normally get rid of them after the warranty or lease.
Nathan Smith indis agree it’s a good reliable car as long as you buy it with good service history, and my God man do service it. Do not service it as though you are servicing a Buick. It’s expensive to service yes I admit but think of the car you are getting it’s complex to give you luxury. I had mine for 2 years now no warranty and it’s excellent and no warning lights drives like new and very reliable. I think people don’t know how to look after them hence all the BS about it.
@@Arthur9646 you shouldnt have to pay 2000 a month to service any car no matter how luxurious. This is literally the worst defense of land rover. If anything you should be paying for quality materials and craftmanship so it shouldnt hurt a well built car to go past its magical service date. They have never been and never will be a reliable brand.
In the meantime, my corolla haven't had one problem in 8 yrs.
But it won't get you any cool points! I wouldn't look twice seeing that plain car

@@taylorkelly6145 Yes I do!!
If there's no oil under a British car, there's no oil in it.
Warranty aside, the notorious unreliability of Range Rovers coupled with the fact that they sell (sold) like hot cakes really gives an insight to the degree of stupidity of their owners. A friend of mine started with the P38 which was horrendous, he swore to never own a Range Rover again, but like an addict he fell in the next financial disaster with the L322. Total cost of repairs since 16 years of ownership (both models) $27.800. Let that sink in.

Hi Doug, I like your shirt and pant combo this episode.
Note to self; short CarMax stock.
and might as well short Range Rover...
That's not true at all, and as bad of a rep as ford gets, they make products that are light years ahead of Range Rover in terms of reliability. Do a little research and you'll see that LR/RR products have always been horrid, and they still are.
Dustin Lien note to self: only buy used cars from CarMax
Land Rover/Range Rover make a lot of products that supposedly cater to a wide array of people, the common denominator is they're all horribly unreliable, even brand new. LR/RR has gone through many different owners and they've always consistently stayed unreliable. From Ranger Rover Classics, to modern full sized behemoths.
Fords aren't always the most reliable cars, but they're far superior in that regard to LR/RR, not that that's saying much.
RR is rolls royce lmao
FINALLY THE VIDEO WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR
BUMPER TO BUMPER
I took over a lease on a 2015 Mercedes C300. This is my list of replacements and repairs done all under warranty on that vehicle over the course of just this February, one month! Every week was a new trip to the dealer...
Replacements:
Front driver's side window (wind noise)
Driver's seat headrest (broken adjustment)
Driver's seat back pocket (broken by dealer)
Left front axle shaft (strange noise)
Right front axle shaft (strange noise)
Left front upper control arm (strange noise)
Repairs:
Panoramic sunroof rattle (x2)
In-dash rattle(x2 but has returned)
trunk rattle (clip fell off inside trunk lid)
So all in all, my first German car experience... Well, I love my car actually, it is truly a pleasure to drive, but damn would it be expensive to own out of warranty.
I'm seriously thinking I might buy a car from carmax for the warranty. How does it work, you take it to any dealership to get it fixed and CM takes care of the price?
Boss When you buy MaxCare (the plan Doug's got) you can choose your deductible. The minimum is $50, but CarMax will give you $50 off if you take it to them. So $0 at CarMax, $50 at a Land Rover dealership.
Boss - I was just thinking the same thing.
I had a warranty from CarMax for my S2000 and they replaced the whole convertible top. Worth every penny for technical vehicles. If you sell the car you get the prorated warranty back!
You take it anywhere you want it to get fixed and let them know you have a warranty taking care of it. The dealer/shop you're at takes care of the rest. When it's time to pick up you waltz in and pay your deductible and that's it. It's usually that simple unless you run into issues of them not wanting to cover something.
Trick- Can you explain what you mean? Were they being hard on paying it?
So if I understand correctly, the single greatest car you have ever owned is a total bomb for everyone but the mechanic? Oh and you plan to keep it after the warranty, I'm certain that will work well for you.
He's not that bright if one doesn't learn from past experience. But it's all about the "image".
I love when people don’t know what they’re talking about
I literally laughed out loud reading that
man this is a quality car

Even european roadsters were bad I hear. And that japan does way better.
In 2009 I bought the 2006 Range Rover for wifey. Let me tell y’all this has been the best car I’ve ever own. In almos 10 years with our RR and only minor repairs and regular service done. We had few offers and we can’t get rid off her. Love the ride every time we drive it and still looks great.
sell it to carmax and buy it back with another warranty
Heatron J.R. genius!
They will send it to wholesale and they will not sell a vehicle over 10 years old.
I need to get into the range rover parts business
I wouldn't be surprised if CarMax will stop giving warranties for used Range Rovers after this.
Im saying he basically just ruined the warranty game for everyone lol
In a way, he did. They no longer sell 6 year warranties and they're much more expensive now. He made a video about that about a year ago.
People have to stop with this lol don't expose good deals only bad deals so they'll make more good deals. We as consumers have more power
Do as all Range Rover owners here in Australia have done. Bin it at the next most convenient opportunity arrives...
We don't see any of the older 2000 onwards model's much remaining on the roads.
What we do see is the old school 1980's boxes driving around more.
Andrew Slazmo I have an 04. Haven’t had any issues with it. It’s got 160,000 miles on it and the only things I’ve replaced is the tires and battery in the 4 yrs I’ve had it. I’m going to find some wood to knock on now, lol.
Most awaited Video on a Range Rover of all time
warranty to warranty bumper
Zoded Hamza amazing
Zoded Hamza under rated comment lmao
this needs to be a sticker.
a bumper sticker, may I add. Now, would it say "warranty to warranty bumper" or just "warranty to warranty"?
I would sell it back to CarMax
And then buy it back with another 6 year warranty
pyro1324 calm down, Satan. I want Carmax to stay in business so I can buy a warranty too
lmao, you guys are cruel. But seriously i wonder how long they can sustain this mode of business.
Sam Bozeman q
danny notofconcern probably indefinitely. It's the same as insurance. I bet they've sold thousands of warranties where it paid out very little compared to the cost of it. I am surprised they don't have some sort of cap though
Sounds almost play-by-play like my 2004 Mercury Monterey mini-van (Mercury badged Ford Freestar). I bought it when it was three years old, when the original 'owner' returned it at the completion of their 3-year lease. It had only about 20k miles on it. The dealer did a 'certified' checkup and repaired everything on the list, including putting on new tires, brakes, replacing a cracked center console section, hiring a firm to re-sew some upholstery that was damaged due to the previous owner's kids yanking on the pockets on the rear of the front seat. The dealer also provided a Car Facts report, which looked clean. I think I paid $13,000 for the van. The dealer offered a bumper-to-bumper aftermarket warranty policy for $1,300, which I took. Had never taken an extended warranty or anything of the like before, and considered them to be probably some kind of rip-off, or at least a risky crap shoot like playing the lottery.
Within the first couple years I had it, the warranty had kicked in over $8000 in repairs for things like the tri-zone air conditioning having all three loops' metal piping rotting out, power locks failing, power windows failing, steering issues, brake master cylinder failing, some sort of electronic engine control module failing, two wheel bearings failing, etc. Ten a year later the engine suddenly lost power in the interstate highway in the middle of a snow storm. I was able to limp the van to the nearest deal, which was closed, and take a taxi home. Turned out something in the ignition had fried, and it was necessary to replace almost everything in that system, including all of the individual ignition coils, which required dropping the engine to get at the rear ones. That repair was over $2000. So the warranty had kicked in something over $10,000 so far.
Just before that warranty ran out, the brakes had another expensive issue, the transmission had an expensive repair, there was another electrical issue, and a couple other things I forgot about now. All paid by that warranty.
After the warranty ran out, the van has luckily been pretty reasonable in terms of reliability. I replaced the tires because the ones the dealer had put on when I bought it were hard riding and noisy on the highway....the Michelins I put on have been great. Ford sent me a safety recall due to fears that corrosion would compromise the rear seat's attachment to the body, and the dealer had the van for a full week to implement the 'kit' provided by Ford to remedy this issue, but that was Ford paying for the repair and not the warranty folks (they also paid for a five day rental of another mini-van). About the only other stuff that has gone wrong since then is the rear brakes have caliper issues; they keep failing to retract fully and the brakes drag very slightly, resulting in two instances where I had to pay for replacement of rear rotors and pads and calipers.
Contrast that with my 2003 Honda Accord which I drove over 200k miles in 10 years, and the 2013 Accord I bought to replace it, 70k on that so far. Did not buy an extended warranty on either, neither of them cost me more than oil changes, filters, tires, and very rare brake repairs when those wore out. Never any issues I noted that would cause me to see a mechanic or the dealer. Both cars had a couple recalls each, always for some fairly minor things that had apparently happened to others but not to mine, e.g. replacement of a wiper motor because some owners had experienced internal motor corrosion that could cause the wipers to fail when most needed.
I still drive that Mercury mini-van, since I use it as a sort of enclosed cargo vehicle and on occasion when i want to haul visitors around to see the sights.
This car needs to be crushed into a cube.
Melted and made into razor blades.
could I get a warranty on the razor blades as well?
Phil B to shave my balls
Like most Range Rover catastrophes ever made....
You have 30 minutes to remove your cube.
Doug: Have you been in contact with Land Rover NA, because that shit is ridiculous. Is that four horns, tre tilt steering column motors, two air suspension struts? Their QC on parts must be horribly sloppy.
Johan Sidén Most of it is faulty designs. Automakers make more money on parts by forcing model-year specific parts on cars (even though some newer model years have better part designs) at dealers that they know will fail again... it's a cycle.
Johan Sidén from what i have heard, JLR qc has improved since Tata ownership. I may be wrong though. Anyone who knows the current scenario?
Nice part about being in the EU, faulty design = covered by legislation. Not only the part itself but any (sort of) damage the faulty part causes. Say for example the strut breaks and damages the subframe and wheel = covered.
Who currently owns Range Rover ?? Drove a petrol sport once and wasn’t particularly impressed with the somewhat standard but wielding cumbersome handling . High seated position was advantageous but seemed to give a feel of unease like a pendulum effect.
Reliability was never the ultimate forte of a Range Rover but listening to Doug his experience is plain diabolical. Car max honouring their warranty as any reputable company would is worthy of a award for perseverance. I’m not about to say Doug celebrity status might have an influence as this after the numerous claims would’ve surely been exasperated. Lesson here people if you don’t have a Range steer clear and avoid the possible addiction. Car max I take my hat off to you because many a warranty firms would have thrown the towel in and left their customers stranded rather than risk bankruptcy after all it is a business.
Doug great informative video as always .
We finally got to know about his car !
Skaarj RPG he's mentioned it a year or two agai
ago
Yea, but he reviewed so many cars, that me and a lot of guys missed it.
Another fine example of a quality Land Rover product.
switch column motor control to off position so it doesnt readjust itself every time you start it
Glad I bought a Shogun now.
It was a toss up between the two but having worked at land Rover and seen how they're made plus the reliability issues the shogun won it!
Great warranty! Range Rovers without a warranty is a no buy and pretty worthless unless you find a sucker that is!
Doug forced them to raise Rover warranty $9k
Say that for most high end Euro cars.
One has to be a glutton for punishment to keep the ownership of such a car.
So that's the best auto purchase ever because you bought a total lemon, paid enough for a warranty that you could have purchased a good used car for that same amount and then you have to take it in for repairs for the same problems over and over. Sounds like you not only need a different car but a different mechanic as well.
all of the inconvenience he has suffered is terrible. I am surprised he hasn't had ignition, catalyst, and check engine light issues.
he had - watch the video. thermostat was broken.
why change the mechanic if the parts are just crap?
a super lemon. Get rid of it as soon as the warranty expires.
Phill Huddleston I know right
I have a 2003 mercedes c class, have had it for 6 years with no major problems
It's very sad for me to watch this video. I' ve been dreaming about Range Rovers my whole life and I was planning to get one as my first car (an old and used one of course). Now I know It is not gonna happen, but thank you Doug for preventing me going broke
This can break both ways.... either they're losing bags and bags of money on warranties like this and stop offering them (less likely as most cars people buy are far more reliable than a Range Rover so they come out ahead at the end of the day) OR they love the free advertising Doug's infamous Range Rover is giving them and are happy to keep fixing it!! I'll guess it's the second.
And it works since with a warranty like that, I'm much more likely to go to Carmax for my next vehicle.
All this sums up to Range Rovers already have a reputation of frequent repairs ( high cost of ownership). So... does it wimper, creek and try to steer you in when you pass the dealership?
Jesus....after watching this video, I"m never gonna buy a Range Rover.
Ali Imran because you cant
Chriss Red Incorrect. Because he is sensible enough not to.
You can't afford a decent car
Statistically, Range Rover has to produce at least a few reliable ones.
Flnd.bmw.x5.car.
I’ve been wanting a Land Rover forever!!! Now with your video I think I’ll get one!! I was freaked with the cost to keep it going but now!! Thank you!!
"It's got a lot of new parts" that all seem to fail despite being new
man is no fool he has shares in dealer ship win win .
So they rebuilt your car basically lol
It's just a couple of parts that keep getting broken over and over again 😂😂
Sounds like shitty parts and service to me!
dcinhere Sound like a British car to me!
When you replace all the parts... is it still the same car??? Tatatatatatata...doediedoedie... "alien sounds"..
Has Britain ever made a vehicle worth more than the metal it's made with?
Phill Huddleston two thirds of all rolls royces ever built are still on the road. Some of the rarer examples are now worth hundreds of thousands, millions in the case of early silver ghosts. I don't have the numbers but I suspect the same longevity is true for Bentley and Aston martin. Land rovers are highly sought after, especially defenders and older series, so much so that prices are shooting up. The UK makes some world beating cars. Admittedly it also makes / made a few shit ones- but look at the USA who's car industry defined built in obsolescence!
Mclaren
I share your experience. I bought a 2012 LR Evoque with the CarMax warranty. 2 months ago they replaced the engine and the turbo (Engine failed because of the tuebo). Total price paid by warranty: $14,000. Prior to that I think I've had over $6,000 in repairs. So ... CarMax warranty? ABSOLUTELY.
If CarMax goes under it is because of Doug and his Rover
They're prestigious vehicles with beautiful interiors, that appeal to those who want you to know they are wealthy or appear wealthy. However they're among the least reliable vehicles you can buy with prohibitively expense parts. If you want to buy a dependable vehicle with reasonable maintenance and repair cost along with good resale value because of that, buy a Japanese vehicle. As always a well done and entertaining video but Car Max's warranty didn't pay you for your wasted time having all these repairs addressed.
Some rich people love to spend money though and will even boast about the repair costs. The most expensive and richest town near me has terrible roads because the cars are all Audis and Mercs that have great suspension and don't feel the bumps and hey a £3000 repair bill is something to impress the neighbours.
I'll take a German car over a Japanese one any day.
Land Rover is especially bad though, literally the worst. Why wouldn't you go with another brand anyway? The romantic British appeal of Land Rover died when all of the switchgear became Ford based, the brand prestige isn't there because they don't change much from year to year and almost everyone who has one bought it used for less than $40k, the iconic styling has given way to an ugly and needlessly complicated pedestrian safety blob that's only vaguely the same shape as a vintage Range Rover, the G Class, LX, and Patrol/QX80 are all better offroaders, and just about any luxury car has a better interior. Even a base model Buick Regal feels less cheap inside than a platicky loaded Range Rover, and has more useable tech. A 2018 Range Rover is a plasticky trashy poorly built ghettomobile, at this point a Chrysler 300 probably carries more brand prestige and has nicer interior plastics. Yes, the queen drives one, but hers is heavily modified, blacked out, lengthened, has had every interior service wrapped in real high quality leather, and actually looks good. Besides, the Swedish king drives a Volvo wagon, does that make Volvo comparable to Mercedes or Jaguar? Hell no, and the Toyotas driven by African dictators aren't seen as the height of class and luxury just because important people drive them either. Only obsequious tasteless fools hold the cars of the British monarchy to a different standard, if the car's crap it's crap no matter who owns one.
Hahah not mazda, they lose 80% of value in 3-4 years. Faster than anything else. you could buy a mazda today for $28k 2 years later its worth 8k.
Rhiad Marhes Dickheads like that I would no associate with, anyone who has to boast about cost of repair and how expensive the vehicle was are vapid empty no personality people. They have little to add to any conversation and are of poor character.
"Range Rover Catastrophe"...Isn't that a little redundant?
I beat the hell of of your warranty claims with just one of numerous warranty repairs on my VW Touareg V10 diesel, $18,776. My total has been over $40,000 in warranty repairs. Turbochargers and DPF’s replacement. Good CarMax really paid a more in repairs then I paid for it. Last repair was the headlamps and one didn’t function with in three days and they couldn’t find the reason. Traded it on new Atlas, with one year of warranty still left.
The 3 rules of happieness
1. Never get married.
2. Never buy a house.
3. Never buy a Range Rover.
My2CommonSense what's wrong with buying a house? I have a 4 floor 10,000 sq house, and love it. Has a 200" home theatre projector with indoor pool and hot tub. I love it.
+akahomie100 yea, idk what he means by never buy a house. It cheaper than renting. Renting makes you feel pathetic, miserable and worthless, unlike owning a house.
Unless buy the house cash you're basically renting/borrowing it till its payed off anyways.
getting married makes life cheaper if you and your spouse are working. buying a house is very good idea. in the long run it's cheaper than renting because once it's paid off all you have to pay for is utilities and property tax. after you retire and your income is reduced substantially you'll be glad you bought a house.
Wrong. Every house payment you make is like putting money in the bank. Your gonna get it back and some at sale time. Renting is flushing cash down the toilet.
Word of advice to Doug: literally sell the Range Rover to your worst enemy, claim you're calling a truce. Then grab some popcorn, a drink and watch the show!
How in the hell does a horn fail multiple times in just a few years?
One of my friends who has always had higher end cars...had a 1999 Mercedes C280 Sport black on black back in 2001...He did buy the extra Mercedes Starmark warranty..they paid out over the course of the warranty over $19K on repairs! He loved to get the loaner cars though...He had a Range Rover given as a gift from a client once...(nice clients)..he sold it as the warranty was up!! He knew what a money pit they were..Every car even the 2012 BMW he bought in 2014 he bought the extended warranty..I said I don't think you will get any use from the BMW warranty as they are good cars..WRONG!! It's been in the shop many times as well!! Thanks to Doug's video I can confirm that Range Rover is a unreliable auto!!!
land rover makes x3 times more money from replacement parts
that's their way of maximizing profit I suppose
Every dealer makes their bank in service. Not selling cars
Doug , your the greatest ...my wife says , I wanna trade my Benz for a Range Rover. So I Meet this guy who is literally is trying to give it to me , and he says I’ll trade tomorrow. I’m thinking in my head , wow I’m going to be getting a great suv. But as always, I pray about things first, and got on TH-cam and first video that comes up is yours. So after this , I won’t even look at the rover , unless Its given to me. Lol - Thanks bud
