2013 LR2 To buy or Not to buy?

[warren mandel]

Apologies if this has been asked before. did a search and couldnt find an answer.
I'm looking to buy a 2013 LR2 with 82,241 miles for $17,244. financing it over 72 months
Ive done some research and couldnt really find anything bad about this yr.
So.. Am I crazy to buy it? If yes, do I buy extended warranty? If no, why should I stay away? All help will be greatly appreciated. I dont want
to make a $17000 mistake and potentially more in repairs. Thanks!

The only issue I see with your plan is the 72 month loan. Its a used vehicle that will still lose money. Average auction prices for a 2015 with same mileage is 13k, so at 17k you are going to be upside down the entire time you are making payments.

thank you! i appreciate the heads up. Gives me a lot of room to negotiate

It would be financially risky to finance any used vehicle over 72 months, consider that if it is a stretch then maintaitence is going to need to be considered also.
