looking at a 2004 Land Rover Range Rover hse

[ejnight]

I'd go for a Chevy Tahoe / GMC Yukon instead.

I really love the looks of the 07+ Tahoe.

$10,000 more than what I want to pay.IT IS FOR THE WIFE.
Yes I like them also.

I have owned many GM rigs. I have a 94 sub now with 160k and only minor repairs needed. As I have been looking for a 02 05 Denali I have run across other rigs. I can buy a 04 Denali XL with 80k for 14k or a 04 Range Rover with 89k for 15k. I have found cheaper on both counts but with high miles or damage. I will keep looking driving and reading. Thanks for your input.

I don't know a whole lot about the rovers, but hear they are in the shop a lot (as mrsleeve said) and are expensive to maintain.

LOL at how much everyone talks shit about Range Rovers... Things need reparing? Repair them.

Your right there, but the financial situation of most board members negates that simple statement. Yes the Range Rovers are awesome and I would like one. The maintenance on them has gotten better over the years. On the other hand we have had between 95 and 06 we have had 4 Tahoe Suburban models. Each family member has had one. My sisters 05 Sub is crap, mostly her fault for just being a soccer mom. My 95 tahoe was first driven by my mother then me then my sisters mother in-law. So approx 15 years later the 95 is stroooong, no major breaks or anything. Same for the 04 and 08. The Rangie is going to nickel and dime your ass like you will not believe. Hope on some forums and just read. Stupid electrical issues are big. Now if you can get a good one that has all records from someone you know that is not off loading it go for it. Just have a time span for which you want to own it.

I cant fault you there, but really the last 2 body styles of the tahoe/yukon are really not that bad on the inside, other than the huge plastic dash. I love the MIL 07 tahoe and looking to buy the little woman a 04-06 here in the next few months.

I have been looking a both. I just really like the looks and interior of the Rover.

do you like your truks being in the shop more than on the street.

You want a full size SUV with a v8, Get a Tahoe/Yukon and be done with it.

Any thoughts? I know BMW had a hand in this. Very interested in your opinions. I really want to know about things I need to look out for.
