Hi
Another new user here contemplating purchasing a used LR3. I am looking at LR3s lower than $20k (more like $10k - $15k), with some fairly high mileage... 90k and higher.
The LR3 would be the third vehicle in the garage. It would be used sparingly, only when going on road trips, for hauling cargo, or when we have visitors and need to get 7 people in the car. When I say sparingly... I mean it. Our other 2 vehicles (Nissan Leaf and Mini Cooper) are our daily drivers. I foresee the LR3 not doing more than 3000 miles annually... most likely less.
My wife and I have always liked the LR3 (Land Rovers in general really), and were pretty close to getting one a few years ago. I have read enough things online to know that these things can be very difficult and expensive to maintain. Yes, there are other vehicles that can fit our needs... but as others can attest, there is nothing like driving around in a Land Rover.
Is it a good idea to have an LR3 as a third vehicle for those situations? And if so, what should I look for in terms of maintenance records, things fixed, etc. in a higher mileage LR3.
Thanks in advance for the replies.
