With today's economy , i am glad , that i purchased one on auto auction in '08.It was a bad time to buy an SUV with gas prices well above 4.00 dollars, but my decision paid off ...for a while , at least.I have no monthly payments, so i have some resources left to concentrate on maintaining my LR3 well.Just today I changed an engine oil and filter ..again, while doing that , i cleaned and lubricated transmission pivot level, hood latches, changed air filter and checked for air suspension leaks among other things.tomorrow I am planning to replace a compressor dryer and use most of O-rings and springs from Com. repair kit, although, there are white markings on my compressor , meaning , that it has been "enhanced" once(updated), but , that mast have been , before I purchased my car, which is more than 3 years a go , so i decide it to update it again. I have 105.000 miles driven on my LR3 and it is still a dream to drive .I like LR4 , but If anything , i will look towards a engine swap from it, rather , than buying the whole car , if it is , off course , possible and cost effective.
