mid-2000's M3 high on my list as a modern classic to own!103,000 miles and still a daily for me.
I don't have plans to get rid of mine anytime soon.
I'd like to eventually get an EV or something like a BMW M3, but I'll be keeping the Discovery.
All good points raised.
I have never bought a new vehicle. My usual car buying model is to buy something used at 3-4yo and go for vehicles that depreciate heavily. That way you get a bargain. Idly looking at Alfa Romeo Stelvio's. Still a bit newish, but if modern Alfa values do not drop like a brick over time, then I will eat my hat! I was a long-term Saab owner before the LR4 for this reason, plus the cars were great too, albeit with some of the LR4 foibles.
We have owned our LR4 for 4yrs. It had a new engine under extended factory warranty with the previous owner. I am assuming timing chain issue, but did not get a detailed reason. I too like to tinker with my vehicles. Ideally, we would have a garage to house the LR4 and it would be a second vehicle. Living in Toronto garage space is at a premium, so that options gone. The LR4 has actually been v reliable and touch wood, has not let us down in 30k miles of driving.
The pondering continues.........
Wow…yearly? For how many years? What the hell happened that averaged out to that kind of cost?$4000-5000 yearly expense for maintenance, repairs.
I didn't say I wasn't a risk taker!Not sure an Alfa is the right move if you have to work on your car in the street. That's moving in the wrong direction.
I guess an Alfa will help clear up any anxiety you may have wondering if something will go wrong with your vehicle. You won't have to wonder anymore.
Yikes!Wow…yearly? For how many years? What the hell happened that averaged out to that kind of cost?
