The air suspension replacement estimate is overestimated. I don’t think this guy has done his homework. The air struts are $373/corner. The compressor is $518. The ride height sensors are $135/corner. That’s $2550 total. All of that is something the average DIY guy can do in a weekend. The programming (calibration) can be done at an indie shop for about an hour’s labor.
Funny to have the former owner describing good features after selling vehicle for a low price ($11000). Good discussion about high maintenance costs, thanks.
Great video. I love how these older Range Rovers looks. They have soo much better classy look than the newer Range Rovers / Jaguars that looks like a Rav4s.
100% agree! I owned a 2007 RR Sport and a 2012 RR. The gigantic windows made a Range Rover a Range Rover. I have restores a 200Range Rover P38. You can almost see the shorts I'm wearing when I'm driving the P38. The new 22 Range Rover looks like a minivan on 22's to me. I keep expecting it to have a sliding door.
@@bruceleroy1143 my buddy bought a classic Range rover from Spain and waiting for shipment. Absolute beauty per the pics. I really want one for myself.
Owner of a full size 2012 range rover - not much beats these vehicles. The 20 inch wheels on this I'm pretty sure are from a newer range rover. Maintenance will be a little more than any other vehicle but not the worst. The newer versions with the 5.0 motor are the ones to get. Besides fixing the timing chain issue they seem to be more reliable.
My wife has had a 2006 HSE for 4 years...changed out the horrible air suspension for coils w/2" lift, added 18" LR3 wheels and Duratracks, and it has been a really good vehicle. I'm shocked, actually!
The reason why they're depreciating is that Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar (because the engine is a Jaguar engine) have been historically known for very poor reliability and expensive repairs. Unfortunately there were not a lot of SUVs that combined luxury, good looks, a somewhat sporty driving and excellent reliability at the time.
VW Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes M-Class (GLE), Mercedes GL (GLS), BMW X5, Audi Q5 and Q7, Toyota Land Cruiser 200, Nissan Patrol, Volvo XC90 I think there are options.
Reliable ones do exist, it’s just most of the good engines weren’t in the US. For the US market the only reliable option is the 2007-2009 4.4 V8 models (and the 4.2 Supercharged at a push).
I think it’s an interesting option to get a much older luxury vehicle. My oldest kid still misses the days of dvds in our old expedition. Definitely a better deal if you want to try out Range Rover’s off road prowess, with less worry over a new six figure price tag.
Better video idea (or at least better to me) would be a video on all the tricks to upgrading the older SUV’s so when they break. Engine Swaps, Nav screen/head unit swaps, air bag suspension replacement or removal, etc.
@@kyleweightman7019 A bus is a bus, a tank is a tank, they both do the same thing but most are very different..price a disco then price a supercharged rangie sport.. THATS THE DIFFERENCE.. I have a smaller freelander diesel turbo HSE spec, compare that to lesser spec`d freelanders, same shape, same drive systems so different.
@@ianburit3705 pish a V8 RRS is same price as equivalent V8 D3 now, this is not comparing a tank to a bus its comparing a tank to the same tank with slightly bigger rims
@@kyleweightman7019 So your disco is the same power same high spec interior as this Rangie then.. Tell me what Rangie sport was made shorter and lighter for what reason ??
Good advice from across pound in 🇬🇧 evade run away like hell take LC200 you will spe similar cash but it works alk time not like LR wich is famously unreliable
Parts will cost a fortune and good luck getting them with all the shortages if something breaks could be weeks or months too fix and cost thousands with inflation
Land Rovers are notoriously unreliable and expensive to repair. You couldn't ask for a worse scenario with a vehicle. That's why the value sinks like a ship. Factor in atrocious gas mileage and a premium gas requirement and you're throwing so much money away to get from point A to point B.
If you have tons of money to burn on gas, then buy this hog of luxury. Gold ring in the nose of a pig, ring a bell? You can get tons of other vehicles that have tons of amenities and good be great fuel mileage. Only fools wander into the Range Rover mire for “status”. 😂😂😂😂

And most of the compressors just need a 30 dollar decanter bead replacement. I did mine last month.
Brendan gets really interesting cars. I've enjoyed all the videos he's been a part of.
I actually own one of these. Absolutely love it! No large reoairs. I recently bought a new Cadillac Escalade BUT.. always drive my RR! ❤

There’s no such thing as a cheap used luxury vehicle.
But, this is really cool!
Unless it's a 2006 Lexus GS430. $7500 for all kinds of neat features and bulletproof reliability.

The 4.2 is actually pretty reliable

I have an 07 SC 4.2 sport, and I have maintenance and repairs on it, but not the engine…
Have always loved these, now want to buy one as a cheap fun runaround but you still look so rich in it

All your buying is a maintenance headache.
then maybe buy a 30 year old volkswagen beetle you can fix
Litterally purchasing debt
Spot on
Might as well throw your money out the window while driving ...... what a bad idea!!!

Great job guys, y'all are living up to the TFL name
Why do Americans like chrome wheels so much? 😂
Cool old SUV, another great TFL video!
Good Job Kase!

The timing chain guides and tensioners wear out, the engine jumps timing, and boom, it's dead.
More of a problem in the 5.0 supercharged and natural aspiration from 2010-2018. Oil changes often is the answer…
its just a chromed up Disco 3 but way less practical and more expensive...
LOL.. nope !.. thats like saying non Kellogg's cornflakes are as good as Kellogg's cornflakes as there the same thing - not!
@@ianburit3705 what? They're a 95% platform share and exactly the same same except for stupid rear cargo space and different wheel choices

Don't even think it
Hope you took it to the ranch before selling it.
That's one bad girl, fun to mess around just don't bring her home
VERY BASSY IN THE SURROUND SOUND....WHILE YOUR DRIVING. .. SEEMS LOUDER THAN MOST ..
It’s got a Jaguar V8, 4.2 litre to be exact and they are actually reliable
GREAT JOB GUYS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
A expensive repair waiting to happen. But COOL 😎 as over mentioned in this vid.
There is an orange one for sale near me for $7700 that I have my eye on.
HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE
I kept waiting for Kase to say he bought it.
Good advice from across pound in 🇬🇧 evade run away like hell take LC200 you will spe similar cash but it works alk time not like LR wich is famously unreliable
Engine swap makes it more interesting!
Why do you say that? Any challenges swapping out an engine in one?
Waiting for Doug DeMuro to chime in.
Miles on the odometer?

You're kidding right. This thing is a rolling nightmare waiting to happen
Its a sexy car but I like the LR4
2008 range rovers are nightmare!
Range Rover on top 🫡✈️
If you like vehicles that break all the time then the RR is prefect
Stranded asset
In my world if a vehicle is not reliable then is considered "TRASH"
New or old they are to expensive to care for.
Next owner be ready to have another $11000 for your Land rover Mechanic.
P.O.S.
And Americans are so used to buying POS arnt they. what was that FORD exploder called again, oh yes ford explorer built to fall over when cornering

Channel would get boring fast if all they had on it was 4Runners and gx470s. This is exciting to see how bad it turns out!
@@gs98999 I do enjoy their older vehicle segments. It's kinda like a lower-budget Top Gear.
If you are stupid enough to want to pay for expensive repairs for a very unreliable car.
If you have tons of money to burn on gas, then buy this hog of luxury. Gold ring in the nose of a pig, ring a bell? You can get tons of other vehicles that have tons of amenities and good be great fuel mileage. Only fools wander into the Range Rover mire for “status”. 😂😂😂😂
