Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?

[Quijote]

The towing insurance is a good idea. I don't mind paying some dollars for upkeep because my 2010 was paid off on day 1 but I think the running costs begin to bite when there is a repair bill and a monthly payment. The LR4 is a great vehicle but she is high maintenance. Including EVERYTHING (tires etc) it runs $0.09/km CDN or $0.11/mile to keep on the road in good shape. My Honda Ridgeline of similar mileage/vintage is $0.03/km CDN or $0.04/mile US. Just the way these Rovers roll...

No doubt. But one should not be surprised by this. We ordered ours knowing we would drive it under 10k miles per year. As it turns out, we are averaging under 6.5k miles/year after 7 years. Umberto puts a ton of miles on his, but he knew he would and I'm sure he was fine with that calculation.

The problem comes when you get a used one of these expecting a Toyota Highlander type of ownership.
