I'm totally new, but need advice.
I recently purchase a used RR over a higher priced X5 or the like. I get a very good deal but I negotiate I will buy ONLY upon full inspection and any issues fixed(and the 90 day warranty in MA), and I budget a good amount for extra yearly maint costs for the Rover:
1) before pick-up my non-Land Rover dealer drops $2K(I ask for invoice copy for records) to fix everything at the Land Rover dealer including the air suspension pump and bladder and some sensors, etc
2) 2 weeks later a check engine light and the dealer drops another $1,800 at Land Rover for a new 4th cyl. coil, wires, etc
3) a month later the car is now having air bag fault and some leak that's dripping fluid just behind the front Pass wheel fixed, paid by my dealer.
Q: my 90 day warranty is about up and I havent spent a dime on maint yet. Is this RR a mess and I should walk/run now or should I assume most everything been worked out and I'm back on track for my ownership?
FYI: most of the issues were explained by Land Rover as b/c it was sitting too long. The car body/interior appears immaculate, single owner 2000 4.0SE, 65K miles, supposedly traded by older driver cant confirm but I can tell it was not abused(engine bay and under carriage totally dirt/mud/ding free and not from a recent cleaning so I dont think ever offroad, etc)
