    Oil Filter- Pure Disgust

    I'm well aware of that. You get what you pay for. LR could have classed it up some by omitting the "made in China" stamp before it went into production. At least let us think we are getting a real homegrown product especially at that price.

    Rear middle seat stuck down anyone?

    Yes Consumer reports had the same exact issue in their last review.

    LR4 to use Ford Eco Boost V6

    The only advantage Ford would have is cheap maintenance. Super cheap oil changes etc. But I prefer the Jag motor

    Oil Filter- Pure Disgust

    Look at picture 2 at the bottom................ The Germans started the Chinese Revolution by supplying them with the know how and machinery and that is the key to reliability issues. Since 1999 I've seen it all in the European scopes and guns. The prices went up and the parts went to China for...

    Acceleration/braking problems anyone?

    Yep Joe. I did notice that as I pay attention to Audi type mistakes :) On my test drive of the LR4 and LR2 my size 14 shoe would touch both pedals if I did not try to keep my Right foot to the extreme right. The wrong mats could even make it worse.

    LR4 Price

    I hope that is the case Joe ( low volume, instead of issues) I did find yet another dealer near Baltimore that has the exact one I want. However their special great internet price is MSRP- LOL My first dealer is giving a fair price as well on 2011 with $2K off straight up on a new unused one...

    LR4 Price

    Thxs- Agreed. I went to another dealer and they also tried to sell me on a 2010. I'm starting to wonder if they are not trying to run the reliability record sky high by selling most LRs with 3-5K miles already so they can work out the bugs. I only say that because the first thing they do is...

    LR4 Price

    The dealer just offered me a service loaner again- 2010 with 2700 miles with HSE and Climate package at $5K off MSRP in Black-Almond. But he said that he would take off $2K on a new 2011 with same equipment thats MSRP for almost $55K

    2011 Lr4

    Thanks Joe, I am now waiting on the dealers response to my very fair offer. I really have no other LR dealer that is close and I do have a trade in or I would just buy one and get it shipped here. Great lease info-thxs Jim

    LR4 to use Ford Eco Boost V6

    The Eco Boost would not thrill me. Any guy who knows turbos knows they are a maintenance issue and when your into them often the mileage is poor. If no Diesel than the Jag 5.0 is fine with me. We all know if the LR4 went on a diet like the Porsche just did that in itself brings on mileage and...

    2011 Lr4

    Just another thought. As I had said my dealer kept pushing me into service loaners with 3500-4500 miles on them. Every time I asked to see a color or a model he started his "great deal" loaner spiel. I wonder if this is because they really want to sell LR's that have been already debugged and...

    2011 Lr4

    Thanks guys! Joe- thxs for the info. I use to do all the maintenance on my vehicles in the day when great oil was cheap. Nearing 50 now with some issues and much business responsibility I understand $110 for an oil change is not cheap but then again they give you one free and its about 9 quarts...

    2011 Lr4

    2011 Lr4

    Also the sales guy kept trying to sell me everything that was a 2010 service loaner. Then I started to get this sick feeling. They had maybe 20 cars on the lot- 10 of which were service loaners. Really. Now the LR2 I was offered had 3500 miles on it and they gave me a no haggle $6K off. But it...

    2011 Lr4

    I have been looking at a LR4 on the east coast. I really like it and as any potential LR buyer I was somewhat scared off by reliability issues as in the gun trade I have made my living off of fixing European guns and modifying them for over 30 years. Currently most of Europe has outsourced to...
