Inquiring about the pros and cons...after the purchase...instead of prior to purchasing?
Interesting.
Interesting.
I read a quote from a fellow RR enthusiast, "Owning a Range Rover is like dating a Supermodel, 1) They have expensive taste, 2) They're really needy, 3) They desire a lot of attention, but Daaaummm...
Hopefully this helps you out and gives you an idea of the pro's and con's of owning or driving a RR. Good luck with everything...

Great quote that a Lexus salesman used when I came to test drive a GX460 before purchasing an LR
On my 04, I had suspension issues..leaking airbags..popping in front ball joints, control arm, electric tilt broke.
On my 06 Sport supercharged, I had a bad smell in cab when accelerating hard. Popping in front end again, ball joint, control arm. Sunroof leaked. passenger seat electrical movement worked sometimes. When coming to stop the truck would not shift from 2nd to first until right before I stopped causing a jump right when it came to rest.
Even after all these problems I still love the look of the truck and it always catches a look so I purchased a 2012 full size supercharged and I really hope that I do not have issues, but I can say that I already have a slight whistle noise coming from the dash/engine area and the dealership says it is because of all the electronics the alternator is overworking trying to supply all the electronic components. On top of the SUPERCHARGED badge on the back already coming off on one side. 100k and I still cant win with these damn things. I still love my rover tho! lol

Also had to replace squeaking control arm bushings on 06 RRS.SC..multiple times..would not stop squeaking after the first time..maybe the dealership just greased them and said they replaced them in the beginning because it never happened again after the 2nd time of so called REPLACING them.
