Paying $85k in 2002 for a land rover is the real crime.
Paying $85k [like $140k today] (or anywhere near) any day/year should be a crime.
I was thinking the same thing those we had one when I was younger and my dad paid like $67k for an HSE either she got robbed , her interest rate was high asf or she’s giving the inflation price
It's a Defender lol
Y'all are not that "great" at MATH.....
2002 MSRP started at 68k, so a 65k for a clean near New model would have been legit, at that time
2) 65k @60/mo loan @5% + sales tax, no down payment ( to offset whatever extras were added/included) = financing about 75k
Again that's 75k with Tax/Title/Tags....
That WOULD be about 85k with payments and that's assuming a 5yr loan @ $1409/mo....where more ppl do 6-7yr loans with expensive vehicles meaning to total loan % would have added up even MORE.....
Again, this is assuming she only paid around 65k, which is a slight discount off the BASE model, she could have easily paid into the 70's for a higher trim.....which even moreso supports her numbers.
Y'all make it seem like vehicles JUST started costing 💰 3 years ago
Again 73k + simple 10 % sales tax is already over 80k add in ANYTHING title work, prep work, upgraded tires, extended warranty, security features etc etc
Where have Y'all been....nobody does MATH anymore
@danielacosta2856
Did Dad pay TAX on that 67k....
What about Tag/Title. Upgraded tires, leather etc etc
The 2002 MSRP was 68k add in features and she absolutely could have paid in the 70's ( also we all know cars "can" sell for over MSRP if "hot" at the time) anyway even using 67k + 10% tax only = near 74k
Add in what she paid in % payments on a car loan and YES, a consumer could say ...I spent 85k ON that vehicle
How is that "robbed"?
Again even if your Pop paid CASH he had to come off near 75k WITH Tax/Tag/Title so WHERE is the "big" difference?😮
The amazing part is a Land Rover lasted 20 years 😂
Worth the investment
@@bokc_nonpopularsalt1011 but she barely had over 100k miles.
in my hood there is an elderly gentleman driving a diesel Mercedes Benz sedan from the 70s! its about half a century old!
@@Timbrock1000 The photos show her with the suv and it was a Range Rover. It was not a Toyota.
@@Timbrock1000yeah that's totally a range Rover dude
I don't know what's more impressive the fact that she was able to own a stolen car for 20 years or that a Range Rover lasted 20 years.
😂😂😂
That Range Rover most be a Toyota
With a tag name says Range Rover
It's not just a car, it's a lifestyle
Probably never drove it lol
@@IndiansAutoShe did over 100k miles in it.
She wanted a reliable car, so she bought a used Range Rover?!
Dumb isn't it
When I told my mechanic friend that I just bought a Toyota, he said that I should have bought RR (pointed at one outside his shop window). That way, they can put my picture on the wall for being a frequent/regular customer. True story. We had a good laugh.
And to think she runs a business too🤔.
for $85K!!!😵💫
Lmao right! These people are beyond stupid. That is the LAST car I would ever spend money on. Expensive doesn’t mean quality.
Checking the legitimacy of the vehicle sold should NOT be the liability of the buyer but the seller. She should sue the dealership that sold her that car.
stop smoke that it was 20 years ago...btw its not dealerships fault , they bought it on auction...its auction fault
You've obviously never sued anyone in your life. You know NOTHING about how the court system works...
ha ha ha ha.
…..what?
She would have to prove the dealership knew the car was stolen. Which TBH on a car that new and low mileage at the time, they had to have known. Impossible they didn’t. Probably can’t prove they knew, but definitely that it was negligent beyond a reasonable doubt. The dealership made it up to her because they knew damn well that they would’ve had to pay WAY more had she taken them to court.
The person who sold her a 90s Range Rover for $75K is the real crime
She bought it 20 years ago
@@ForeverYoung-fc3eo With inflation, she paid a lot more for that. used vehicle.
This is the exact comment I was looking for 🤣 🤦🏽♀️
@@ForeverYoung-fc3eono she didn’t, it was reported stolen 20 years ago.
Obviously you & other were not paying attention!! She purchased it 20 years ago. Comprehension is taught in School…???
"Range Rover" and "reliable car" have never before been used in the same sentence.
Preeeeeeeeach!
Thats not a good vehicle?
She’s been driving it for 20 yrs and it’s in great condition 🤷🏿♂️ the definition of reliability
Only an ingonarant baffoon would come and make such a dumb statement!
You obviously know nothing about that particular model of the Range Rover known as the p38 model and obviously never owned one to even know what you are saying!!
For those of us who own the p38 model we know and understand exactly why this one lasted 20 years and still is in the condition that it is and way better than any vehicle even built in 2023!!
I own a 1996 p38 and it will run until I get tired of it and that will not be anytime soon!!
That is how reliable these vehicles are come rain..come shine and come snow!
@@DrBoofMarit only has 109k in 20 years... it's a shit box
Sad that a Land Rover that lasted over 20 years was scrapped but not because it had mechanical issues
Right? What’s even the point of scrapping it at that point.
@@IncognitoSpraxThere was no point, it should have gone to a theft recovery auction. Or since it's insurance was paid out, replace the vin plates and give the car back since she bought it legitimately.
A lot of solid takes in the comments but one is missing. We need to take a moment to recognize this woman’s dedication to maintaining her car and having a solid mechanic. Most people commenting are well aware of how unreliable a Rover can be and yet this one held up nicely. That doesn’t happen by mistake.
100's miles is not hard for most vehicles, it's pushing 150kmi or 200kmi that maintenance and build quality stand out, unless you live in salt belt.
The type of Range Rover she owned was the real deal,after 2002 all the jlr products became junks.
@@kingharcourt8583everybody knows that the p38 range Rover has the worst reliability track record of any land rover product. Don't discredit the amount of care this lady put into the car
The most asinine part is sending a working SUV to the damned scrapyard because nobody in charge of VINs and registration got it right in so many years.
85k for 20 years ownership. That’s 350.00 a month for 20 years. Insane.
She didn’t take a 20 year loan out on a Range Rover ….
@@Joel-qw4uxomg they talking about how that 85k would have been broken down in terms of monthly by a 20 year period.
@@Joel-qw4ux did you read loan uhhhhhh? Stop adding shit
@@Joel-qw4ux The costs still work out to that. If she'd taken out a loan it would have been even more due to interest.
The Universe loves this woman and clearly protected her. She go TWENTY years out of her dream car AND was still made "whole" after it was found to be stolen.
That’s what I was thinking. She got a car that is known for being horrendously unreliable, and made it last 20 years. Hopefully the dealer gave her a Toyota SUV.
Yeah I would say if u get 20 or so years out of any car, ur winning
I would imagine the reason why RRs (and other foreign cars) got a rap for being unreliable is due to multiple factors.
1) superior European engineering dictates that they should place critical, wear and tear components in such a location that effectively requires a total disassembly. If not that, then they have the brilliant idea to have their replacement procedures inconsistent with other vehicles that exist (such was removing a drive axle to be able to replace brake rotors and disassembling a brake caliper to change the pads).
2) many men these days aren't even capable of changing engine oil, let alone do any intensive maintenance work
3) automotive repair shops getting away with exorbitant costs because they effectively monopolized the longevity of your vehicle
Therefore, many people would rather just deal with the problems until it becomes a real problem, instead of paying hundreds for a simple brake job. This woman owned a business, and very likely was able to cover the costs to upkeep the vehicle, hence why it lasted so long.
I'm honestly impressed that she kept that thing running for so long.
💰
$85,000 in 2003 is like $140,000 today. That was a pricey car! But she did get 20 years of use out of it.
$140k is what a new Range Rover cost today.
@@TheTallMan50 lies
2023 Range roger MSRP is 139k he’s not lying. Use google before speaking lol
Maybe they included the interest on the original loan. If you have a high interest rate this can easily happen. When i worked at carmax i saw a $30k lexus become a $73k lexus real quick.
She only had 100k miles on thats like 5000 miles a year. She barely drove that thing..average is 15k miles per year
If they did no know it was stolen, the owner should not be punished. It's not that person's fault.
Unfortunately, the "owner" isn't "the" owner if it's stolen. You can't "own" a stolen item, whomever it was stolen from is STILL the actual owner
Think if it were my or your item stolen, when it's found wouldn't it STILL be our item? We did nothing wrong, either.
I think in this case the correct statement would be "The victim should not be punished because she was scammed 20 years ago with the stolen vehicle."
@@ericstewart517The insurance paid out dum dum!
@@danny1103That point also!
I mean yeah she lost her car but I’m pretty sure the dealership just gave her a new car. If she sued, she would definitely win and it would have cost the dealership a lot more than the price of a car. Honestly tho she was very very lucky that car lasted that long. Those cars are horrendously unreliable.
Reliable 20 year old Range Rover? Only 100k miles? Thats low. And I know she spend $$$ on maintenance
She probably took really good care of it. Very low miles for the age of the vehicle. Said she used it for deliveries which is surprising the miles are that low. Possibly because she has another vehicle and this was used just for business.
Range rovers use to be reliable
@@branflakee4257 Not the one she own. I've seen people go bankrupt trying to keep these running.
Cars are not investments, unless it's a classic that appreciates in valuable. Range Rover is not an investment 🤣
Land Rover and reliable do not go together.
That fact that she only put 100k miles on a 20 year old car says she barely uses it, and that's why it lasted her 20 years.
If, after twenty years, the police can take her car away, there's something very wrong. The fact the vehicle
was destroyed is also wrong. She should have been offered a chance to buy it again. When she was offered
restitution that's proof something about ownership was being covered up.
Did you watch the entire video or did you have a stroke mid way through it? The car was stolen. The original owners were paid out by their insurance. The dealership got a fast one pulled on them, but it appears they made things right with the lady.... 20 years or not it's still a stolen item that needed to be recovered. The insurance company owns the car and it was destroyed because it's a 20+ year old car that's only valued at like $4,500 and it's much easier then trying to untangled the mess of a fraud VIN... Smarten up John
@@WrongThink_for your information smart ass a 20-year-old Land Rover does not go for 4.5k it's at least a 10K or more car even with those yrs. Also Statue of limitations is a factor here when a case's over 20 years old this becomes a civil matter not a police one, Also the insurance company took the L when it was reported stolen, So in conclusion this is a gray area It's not as simple as just scrap the car this lady's daily car.. again the laziness of police work prevails.
@@WrongThink_Smarten up? So did this lady get given a replacement car?!
@@CityLifeinAmerica Did you not listen or watch the entire video ? The news reporter clearly says they reached out to the lady and she said "The matter has been resolved and she's happy".... Because the only acceptable excuse right now is that you're deaf and the closed captions weren't right... otherwise get your ears checked or get glasses.
@@CityLifeinAmerica More than likely the dealer gave her a discount for around the current book value of a 20-yr-old Range Rover... which is about the same as you could get from them with a few hours of haggling. $5k or so. If she bought another overpriced luxury SUV, that's a drop in the bucket.
What burns me up is they basically took this car from this woman, she paid for, to trash it! If it got the insurance company any compensation I might feel differently. No thought or negotiations. Just take her everyday drive and scrap it. That has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
They took from this hard working woman and never went after the real criminals.
I'm not surprised that the DMV messed up but I am surprised that a second generation (P38) Range Rover ran for 20 years.
She was doin maintenance on time for 20 yrs 😂😂😂😂
The DMV workers are crooks. They are sometimes in cahoots with these scam dealers
My P38 RR (1998) never gave me issues. I kept up the maintenance and only paid for tires/brakes for 7 years until the front suspension struts needed replacing. Had I not got T-boned in mine, it would still be on the road today as a second car.
And she said it was reliable. I always wanted a p38 but was afraid of the reliability. She’s out here driving around the country and shit no worries for 20yrs😅
She never off-roaded it so that may be why.
She brought a used Range Rover in 2002 for 85k?? Should have just buy a new one.
So in short it's the government's fault for not keeping their system up to date ! Government owes this woman a car.
If you have an OBD scan tool, you can scan the car and retrieve the original VIN from the Engine computer. If it does not match up with the Vehicle VIN - something is up.
You need a good scan tool. Not one of those cheap ones you find at autozone. Usually you need to buy modules for the brand to pull that information.
@@tigreactivo517 you can buy a relatively inexpensive dongle that pairs to your phone - example Bluedriver - it can pull up the VIN from the ECU - it can even scan the modules for fault codes
@@GGoblin1 Bro, you think she's a hacker to know all this stuff?

So she is a business woman who in 21 years drove 109K miles up and down the east coast to sell popcorn on a reliable Range Rover for $85K...
The mileage did seem
Very low
Really she played the life game and won
@@omostim2385 It's more like this doesn't add up except for the car being stolen.
lol. Thieves aren't stupid, they aren't generally cloning VINs for completely different vehicles. They'll clone a VIN for same make, same model, same colour.
Unless you can access a reliable database somewhere that provides real time stolen vehicle reporting, then there is no way to know if your vehicle (new or used) is stolen or not. In that situation it's impossible to do due diligence. It's that simple
Duh Captain Obvious 😢
@@realtalk37851 His point is that, if it's impossible for the consumer to do due diligence to prevent fraud, then the customer should not be held liable for the fraud.
Im more amazed a Range Rover was described by the Owner as RELIABLE. 😂😂.
“I wanted a reliable car”…. Buys a Range Rover 😂😂😂😂😂
None of their tips would have helped prevent this type of fraud. What *would* help is to look at all the VINs that are inscribed around the car. There should be an inscription at the base of the windshield, in the door sill, under the hood, possibly under the trunk lid, and somewhere underneath the car (usually under the sides of the chassis)
Range Rover and reliable in the same sentence 😂😂😂
I just ordered 12 bags of her popcorn for the office , lets help out such a hard working individual! Together we can make a difference ❤
I’m so impressed that the Rover lasted so long

I am the owner of a 1999 Range Rover 4.6 HSE. As someone who does my own mechanic work on it and maintenance I will admit it is fairly unreliable for the everyday toyota driver. Some people want a car with the reliability of it working on them everyday with the exception of paying for an oil change, others like me, study mechanics and dont mind working on these 20 year old vehicles since it’s a beginner friendly mechanics car. Im 21 and I started driving my Rover when I replaced the engine block out myself at 19. The car has given me minimal issues since then and I’ve probably spent over 4 grand in parts and upgrades but damn do I love this SUV. Definitely taught me a lot and I don’t mind it at all. Its not an everyday traffic car. Real rare to see one well kept, beautiful, and running.
She suppose to buy new Toyota Landcrusier for reliability for that price at that time.
For those commenting about Land Rovers unreliability, the P35 model years of the RR were actually very reliable. The unreliability mainly came from their Freelanders, Discovery I, and the L402 Range Rovers [2003-2013]. Take this from someone who’s only owned Land Rovers ;)
Bruh this is so untrue. It’s P38 not P35 by the way. These were plagued with reliability issues.
@@prieck78 no they aren’t. The air suspension is the main fault of the P38 fixed with upgraded bags and pumps. Early models suffered from poor electronics but 1999+ is fine and 2000-2002 are ideal years. The kinks are completely worked out on later models.
@@prieck78 There is a reason every man who buys his wife a Rover makes sure he has extra vehicles.
That was just stupid for them to scrap the car instead of giving back to the women who had last purchased it since the original owners previously got paid for it.
Police turn a blind eye to so many things they should of certainly done it here instead of towing it and scrapping it. I'm half way through watching this video and that's what should of happened in real life. Nobody will deal with something like this from 20+ years ago. There are even statute of limitations for 5 to 20 years for federal crimes and this certainly falls under it. The insurance company probably wouldn't even waste the energy to claim it. They took the loss and claimed it. What kind of accounting mess would it be to reverse something they took as a write off from 20+ years ago. She probably should sue the police they didn't help anyone.
A long time ago my sister said when they had to deliver things in Philadelphia PA she sent all kinds of horrible things and giving out vin numbers as well to hide stolen cars etc this was in the mid 90's

And others with the same suv have gotten 300k out of their's. So 60k is still new. Just broken in. And even 100k is still pretty good mileage for a vehicle. Id expect a vehicle to reach those numbers with no problems. When you get 200k with just minor maintenance, like sensors ,alignments, and fluid changes, thats a reliable vehicle.

The police take it and then destroy it at the junkyard? You can’t make this stuff up. I hope she gets a Toyota 4Runner. Thoughts and prayers for just being human. I hope she is blessed with something better.
Why a 4runner! That lack in every department including power! You gotta be a big dummy to spend 50k on a truck that has 260hp!

"Single woman, single business owner, you want a reliable car"
*Buys a Range Rover*
From Kelly Blue Book: "For reference, the 2003 Land Rover Range Rover originally had a starting sticker price of $71,865, with the range-topping Range Rover HSE Sport Utility 4D starting at $71,865." She could have purchased a brand new one off a reputable dealer lot for less. Poor woman got screwed. Twice.
The only person harmed and fouled, was Rhenett Dallas
They also quit making "light smoke" window rain deflectors at Weathertech for all models, so she also got screwed out of those she can never buy again.
Anyone else surprised how behind the times America as a whole is being we are one of the richest in the world? Kinda confirms that with all that money it’s simply going into pockets and not into things that could better this country.
VIN, The 17 characters that ruined a friendship. My longtime mechanic had a Honda Accord for sale on his lot. Low mileage, excellent appearance. He swore he'd examined the vehicle personally & could swear to its roadworthyness. He claimed his computer was down & i couldn't run the carfax in his office. I ran the 17 characters at home & informed him the mileage had been altered by 100K & the vehicle had been in 3 serious accidents. Of course he placed the blame elsewhere.😢😢 Trust permanently destroyed. I would have shown up at DMV with a bill of sale, just to be told the odometer readings didn't match.
You can't make this stuff up. Unbelievable
She bough a Range Rover with 2900 miles for $85k at an auto auction. ...because she wanted a reliable car. And then over the next 20 years she put (not a million but) 100k miles on it. What!? There is so much wrong with that I don't know where to start.
Damn you didn’t watch the video. She bought it from a dealer. The dealer bought it from an auction. She bought it when it was new, in 2001. The truck is a 2000 or 2001. YES a new car was reliable back then and she kept it running for an additional 20 years and 100k miles
First time I've ever heard anybody say a twenty-year-old Range Rover was reliable but hey you never know. Man that sucks I feel bad for her she should start a GoFundMe. I can't imagine finding out twenty years later my car was stolen.
why would you interview someone RIGHT after they stepped out of the shower ?
While what happened to the woman is unfortunate, she got 20 years out of the Range Rover--she extracted all of the economic value possible out of the vehicle. The current value of the vehicle was likely less than $5K.
Umm they only stole 5000 from her
P38a Rovers are appreciating in value. $10k-$15k for a decent low milage unit.
Range rovers used to be reliabile, now they are just luxury trash
Wow, a brand new 2002 Range Rover would cost $68k and she bought a used one for $85k. They saw her coming.
I try to help my female relatives, to not get ripped off at the dealerships.
I’ve never come across anyone who has purchased at sticker price from a dealership.
I was thinking that. I don’t remember Range Rovers costing that much back in the early 2000s.
Jfc…the SE started at $68k with NO options. She had an HSE WITH options. She’s got the off road package which included brush guards front and rear, and late models got wood grain packages AND navigation. Dealers spec’d them with minimum $10k in options. Finding a bare bones SE or HSE is hard unless you’re looking at the launch edition 90s models. $80k is light work on a P38a. They easily costed $100k once you got into options and considering the edition you purchased. Vogue and Autobiography Rovers were WELL over $100k.
@@omostim2385they definitely did.
"You want a reliable car", and she bought a Range Rover? Really??
It should be illegal for dealerships to sell stolen cars.
That dealership and police department should be sued.
Yes
$85000 over 20 years, it's about $4250 a year. I bet she already depreciated the whole vehicle in her tax filings. 😂
Soo twenty years of failed state VIN check. Should mean twenty years of refunds for the tags.
Since in 2003 that was like today’s $140k, I’d say she got took as a *’single mother trying to support herself’* which is a statement women use to sound vulnerable and financially struggling even if they are rich business-women who can easily hire men or people to conduct errands for them such as buying an expensive luxurious vehicle. She was by 2003 standards, very rich if she had that kind of cash to spare on a literary new Range Rover. *I’m not saying she deserved to be taken advantage of by the car salesman and tricked into buying that overpriced garbage with tempered VIN though* … Glad the situation has been finally resolved.
I'm surprised she said she bought a Range Rover for reliability and it lasted 20 years.
The dealership resolved the problem, the gave her another stolen car😂😂😂😂
This lady should get her money back. Whoever sold this woman the car should be liable for damages. Companies get away with this bs because the people aren’t together.
This lady should be made whole by the insurance company and the car dealership.
She needs to sue the original owner of the dealership where she originally purchased the car.
20 year for a Range Rover is more then what you can bargain for…
$85k .. 21 years ago. Jesus. (That's like $140k today due to inflation)
And in those 21 years she only put a little over 100k miles on it?
So the bank should be charged for receiving stolen property
Why wouldn’t she just have bought a brand new one for that much back then?? They did her so dirty taking it and having it scrapped.
A Range Rover that isn’t an endless money pit? She got super lucky! 😎
Crazy that a Range Rover managed to even last 20 years. That’s really unfortunate for the lady.
Now what the heck? 20 years and they still had to take it?
What happened to the statue of limitations?
Driven for 20 years I'd say she got her money's worth
The MSRP for the Range Rover (HSE) was $68,000 in 2002. How did she manage to pay $17,000 more than the price of a new model? Financing availability?
Terrible for her. What a waste. I can't believe police sent it to be scrapped. They should have given it back to her. Susan-you should find the original owner of the dealership!
She takes pride in the word single. Sad!
Another car dealership in Alabama does the same thing there name is M&M motors in Lincoln Alabama don't buy anything from them because they sale car's just like this one and flooded out car's from Florida Mississippi and Louisiana.
She must be one of very few that got a Rover that was reliable....
Average driver drives well over 1,000 miles a month, she drove 5,000 a year. No doubt it’d last that long even if drove up and down the coast once or twice a month.
If they investigated why wouldn't they ask the insurance company if they wanted the truck??? Would have saved a whole lot of trouble. She could have just kept the truck and moved on with her life.
it had faked vin plates. police can't leave it like that, so the only option is to destroy it because that's apparently easier for them than replacing the VIN plate with the correct ID and certifying it
Range Rover and reliable? Hah!!
Old owners should be investigated for insurance fraud
Can’t believe that Land Rover lasted 20 years.
she says it was a reliable car? the more unreliable POS you can ever buy, I had 2, never again out of warranty or a lease
She seems like she’s smart. She’s a business owner. How is it she paid $85,000 for that old Range Rover at an auction even at that time? She should have just gotten one at a dealer. $85,000 would have gotten her a Range Rover at the dealer 20 years ago.
What are the market prices of todays range rovers?
She bought the car 20 years ago from a dealer … 2003. What would the price of an 02 Range Rover go for in that time period?

That was probably some random odometer they put up, but didn't do their diligence. Her car was already dead in the scrapped yard by the time of their reporting
I think some on you guys missed the fact that she’s had this car for over 20 years. She didn’t just purchase this.
She had been able to register it until recently when Maryland changed their system.

They are doing her a favor by scrapping that 20yo range rover 😂.
Buy you a new 2023 Range Rover since you a baller. 😂
She got twenty years out of it.and put over a hundred thousand miles.she got her money's worth
Yes for a Range rover isnt that funny.
They should have let her keep it
Stealership didn't do due diligence, it should be in their court to find her a new SUV
Moral of the story, you don’t buy stolen vehicles, and run your business out of them! 🤔
Reliable and Range Rover, those are two words I’ve never heard in the same sentence 😂
I owed a Land Rover in 2002.. a brand new anniversary edition was around $70k and the lesser models were a few grand less. She overpaid for used one.
The biggest lie I’ve heard today 😂😂 “a Range Rover is reliable”
I want that RR so badly! It’s the only good P38 I’ve ever heard of!

Ahhh. That's what our scummy junkyard neighbors in rural se MI were into in 2019. Explains so much! The car hauling at 3 am, the cops, the stake outs. Huh
