Hi guys, I've been doing some research for my next purchase. I'm planning on buying either a lr3 or a lr4 (used, of course) as my third car for offroading/mudding/camping, etc. My goal is to stay within a $38,000 budget.
I've never owned a Land Rover. I understand that LR4 offers a more luxury package overall due to its a newer model. My research shows that the newer LR4 has:
Bigger and newer engine
More refined interior
More modern looking exterior
Newer terrain-response systems
Larger brake rotors/19" wheels that might make it hard to fit most AT tires...
what else are different between these two models ? Are there any mechanical improvements especially offroading related that can justify the extra $10~15K cost over a used LR3 ? Since this will really just be a weekend car therefore luxury isn't on the top of my list. However, I won't have any problem paying the extra 15K if there are major improvements.
Any land rover owners please feel free to chime in ! Your input is very valuable to a future first-time owner!
