Hi guys hope youenjoy this video on my latest purchase a range rover sport. apologies for the sunlight issue with the camera on this one guys towards the end. Also please note this car has now sold for 6250 asking price before this video went live so sorry for anyone who was interested.

As long as you know what you’re getting yourself into with an old Range Rover then it’s fine. Personally I would run for the hills!

I’ve got 2 pals who worked at Chester’s Hunters Land Rover who left because fixing modern rangerovers was soul destroying Techs no less working on these piles of S*** My mate who works with the one guy now starts doing rangerovers and tells me if I buy a Range Rover find a new mechanic That’s a true story 🤣🤣🤣

Although I’m not a Range Rover fan at all, this one looks to be a beautiful example. It’s been cared for, looked after, and perhaps most importantly, serviced. Hopefully this will be a profitable investment for you Lee.

Totally agree. I love them. I just couldn't afford the maintenance side of owning one. If I could I wouldn't think twice I'd buy one instantly! I once got to use the supercharged v8 for a week. Best time ever!!!!!

I owned one for 6 months , they are worth every penny, cant beat the drive and the driving position . yes i would advise to keep spare cash for maintenance as its on the higher end

Vehicle score seems pretty good I ran a basic check on a car that my sister was interested in ,Top suspension front mounts ,drop link problem & disk all had a mention .If nothing else it gives a buyer a bit of leverage on a price reduction after workingg out the cost of sorting the issues ,Thanks

yets its a helpfull tool to use and the salavge check is very useful, the ammount of seriously damaged cars that go back on the road unrecorded is scary

I live in panama and I have a 2013 SDV example with only 60,000 Km on the clock, no issues except a occasional amber suspension fault, forums says it requires the suspension manifolds cleaning and a new air pump dryer. I have the parts but haven't got around to it. Everything else works great.

Definitely looks like a nice well cared for car! I hate when they don’t put dipsticks in, I prefer the old fashioned way of checking my fluids!

thanks gascans yes i had worked on the car so was a no brainer purchase as i knew it was decent. took away alot of the risk

Currently looking for one, the ONLY thing that would put me off is simple, the age of it, I always either buy new, or get an upmarket version that's a few years old, max 5. Currently I've got an AMG C63, which is awesome, but it's getting to that age where it may cost thousands to maintain

As someone who worked for Landrover , would I ever buy any of their cars not unless I could afford a brand new defender or any RangeRover model. Looks immaculate Lee and has definitely been looked after maintenance wise . Sounds like a good 1 in a market no doubt full of a lot run on shoe strings as they now aren't so expensive but are to run. Is it better than your own if so is it worth keeping and selling on your old car.

Loved the intro to this video but, you can tell you're not a country lad, those looked more like dairy cattle to me rather than beef cattle but, I know nothing about running a garage. 😁 I've had a few Range Rovers over the years and had also driven quite a few back when I served in the Corp. I suppose I have been lucky, as apart from the normal servicing and the odd hiccup, I've had a good relationship with mine in the past. I tend to think that there are more bad owners than there are bad Range Rovers, as although they want the prestige of owning and driving a Range Rover, they're not prepared to fork out the cash for their upkeep. Love your channel Lee and have been an avid viewer for quite some time now. Keep up the great work. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bearing in mind it is a Discovery 4 with a posher body, a Range Rover Sport L320 with the 3.0 engine is one hell of a car for the money and about half the purchase price of the same aged Disco.

Ive been looking at these for about 3 years, its hard to find one with full service history and everytjing working, no lights in dash etc and the prices were ridiculous the since 2019. I used to work on ground maintenance of a industrial estate and there was a guy specialising in land rover and the place was always jam packed with them in for expensive jobs, everything tells me not to buy one, but i just love them ajd would love a good one, but theyre almost impossible to find

If you buying an older range you have to be willing to spend 20-35% of the purchase price in maintenance or repairs

Getting car insurance for these or even the vogue is very expensive currently, my existing insurance for 2010 vogue was with Admiral and they didnt even want to renew so I had to fork out 1700 quid for 3rd party/fire/theft with another provider. Want to add a sport with my vogue as well still LOL

Hi Lee,very nice and luxurious vehicles ,and very nice to drive too,provided nothing goes wrong with them. In terms of reliability,they leave a lot to be desired. I would personally go for a Japanese car,such as a Toyota land cruiser or highlander both of these offering quality durability and reliability. This is my personal choice. Land-rover and jaguar products seem to be very popular sellers in the UK,hence you shouldn't have any issues in selling this particular unit since it's in top notch.

It knocks a vehicle score down badly based on age and number of mot comments. 1) Age is unfair, you can see how old a cars and 2) A chatty mot thats too commenty is unfair judge and a very blunt instrument. 3) They got model completely wrong so valuation off.
