Brendan gets really interesting cars. I've enjoyed all the videos he's been a part of.

The air suspension replacement estimate is overestimated. I don’t think this guy has done his homework. The air struts are $373/corner. The compressor is $518. The ride height sensors are $135/corner. That’s $2550 total. All of that is something the average DIY guy can do in a weekend. The programming (calibration) can be done at an indie shop for about an hour’s labor.

And most of the compressors just need a 30 dollar decanter bead replacement. I did mine last month.

Funny to have the former owner describing good features after selling vehicle for a low price ($11000). Good discussion about high maintenance costs, thanks.

I actually own one of these. Absolutely love it! No large reoairs. I recently bought a new Cadillac Escalade BUT.. always drive my RR! ❤

Great video. I love how these older Range Rovers looks. They have soo much better classy look than the newer Range Rovers / Jaguars that looks like a Rav4s.

100% agree! I owned a 2007 RR Sport and a 2012 RR. The gigantic windows made a Range Rover a Range Rover. I have restores a 200Range Rover P38. You can almost see the shorts I'm wearing when I'm driving the P38. The new 22 Range Rover looks like a minivan on 22's to me. I keep expecting it to have a sliding door.

Great job guys, y'all are living up to the TFL name

Have always loved these, now want to buy one as a cheap fun runaround but you still look so rich in it

Owner of a full size 2012 range rover - not much beats these vehicles. The 20 inch wheels on this I'm pretty sure are from a newer range rover. Maintenance will be a little more than any other vehicle but not the worst. The newer versions with the 5.0 motor are the ones to get. Besides fixing the timing chain issue they seem to be more reliable.

Cool old SUV, another great TFL video! Good Job Kase!

Better video idea (or at least better to me) would be a video on all the tricks to upgrading the older SUV’s so when they break. Engine Swaps, Nav screen/head unit swaps, air bag suspension replacement or removal, etc.

Why do Americans like chrome wheels so much? 😂

Miles on the odometer?

The reason why they're depreciating is that Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar (because the engine is a Jaguar engine) have been historically known for very poor reliability and expensive repairs. Unfortunately there were not a lot of SUVs that combined luxury, good looks, a somewhat sporty driving and excellent reliability at the time.

Reliable ones do exist, it’s just most of the good engines weren’t in the US. For the US market the only reliable option is the 2007-2009 4.4 V8 models (and the 4.2 Supercharged at a push).

I have an 07 SC 4.2 sport, and I have maintenance and repairs on it, but not the engine…

The timing chain guides and tensioners wear out, the engine jumps timing, and boom, it's dead.

More of a problem in the 5.0 supercharged and natural aspiration from 2010-2018. Oil changes often is the answer…

I think it’s an interesting option to get a much older luxury vehicle. My oldest kid still misses the days of dvds in our old expedition. Definitely a better deal if you want to try out Range Rover’s off road prowess, with less worry over a new six figure price tag.

There is an orange one for sale near me for $7700 that I have my eye on.

My wife has had a 2006 HSE for 4 years...changed out the horrible air suspension for coils w/2" lift, added 18" LR3 wheels and Duratracks, and it has been a really good vehicle. I'm shocked, actually!

Hope you took it to the ranch before selling it.

its just a chromed up Disco 3 but way less practical and more expensive...

Stranded asset

Parts will cost a fortune and good luck getting them with all the shortages if something breaks could be weeks or months too fix and cost thousands with inflation

If you like vehicles that break all the time then the RR is prefect

In my world if a vehicle is not reliable then is considered "TRASH"

New or old they are to expensive to care for.

Next owner be ready to have another $11000 for your Land rover Mechanic.

Land Rovers are notoriously unreliable and expensive to repair. You couldn't ask for a worse scenario with a vehicle. That's why the value sinks like a ship. Factor in atrocious gas mileage and a premium gas requirement and you're throwing so much money away to get from point A to point B.
