Hey there.
Looking to (perhaps) join the LR community with my first LR purchase; the truck I'm considering purchasing is a 2014 LR4 HSE with just under 20k miles. I love just about everything about this black LR4 and would love to hold onto this truck for 10+ years to use for rugged (and domestic) adventures with our now-one-year-old son.
The LR4's factory warranty is now expired due to its age, and my only concern right now is the possibility we purchase a vehicle whose repairs will bleed funds away from other family priorities.
My main questions are:

The LR4's factory warranty is now expired due to its age, and my only concern right now is the possibility we purchase a vehicle whose repairs will bleed funds away from other family priorities.
My main questions are:
- Anyone have any thoughts as to whether/not it is worth it to purchase an extended warranty given that there are only 20k miles on the truck?
- Does anyone have any thoughts on particularly-accurate estimates (or resources for such estimates) on what repairs will likely need to be done and when (on average, of course) for an SCV6 LR4?
For context:
- We would likely have pretty-minimal annual miles; likely 5-10k/year.
- I brought the LR4 to a local LR dealership last weekend and it passed a pre-purchase inspection without any flags for mechanical issues.
- After the LR4, the next vehicle model we are weighing the LR4 against (but which is not quite as desirable for us) is the uber-reliable Toyota 4Runner.
