    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    I feel like dating the girl my grand mum warned against. That appears to be accurate and has been a part of my consternation about purchasing it.

    Thanks for checking it out. The oil leak I suppose is the sticking point. The price is below my budget, and I have a sizeable budget for repairs and preventative work. Oil leaks sort of scare me.

    That is terrific to know. The previous owner did have a flush completed as well as Valve cover gasket(s) replaced (11-2022) Cylinder head gasket(s) replaced (11-2022) Exhaust manifold gasket replaced. (11-2022) I am still tempted to take the plunge and get it, knowing repairs are eminent. But...

    Jaguar has a presence that BMW and many others just do not possess Perhaps I can't be impartial, but Jaguar has much more of an opulent presence than the aforementioned CLS 55. But I have had them in my family for a very long time and I have seen the occasional Lexus (3), BMW (2) and Mercedes...

    Sadly, I have not had the opportunity to drive it because of the distance, but my brother lives about 10 minutes away from where the vehicle is located, and I am tempted to ask him to do test drive it for me and I am not sold on pre-inspections' (A control thing).

    Terrific insight, I never thought about that. It could just be sound distortions. I am unable to decipher whether it is indeed a little rattle or that is the way the truck ought to sound. The seller has indicated that no rattle exists, but my trust but verified antenna is on high alert.
