I never had any problems with my Range Rover... because I never had one.
I'm in the same situation.
+HightLink Me neither lol. My non-existent Range Rover has been great.
+HightLink You guys are lucky, I brought mine for 10 dollars at Walgreens and now it won't wind up and move after I drove it 30 feets today, but at least the car can fit in the palm of my hands.
Did you get the warranty?
+Donny Donster the ones from cvs have a better warranty
89% of Range Rovers ever built are still on the road today...
The rest made it home!
The side of the road*
😂
@@spoonyspoonicus4648our right, most of them won’t start and make it on the road!
Oof
What kind of idiot sells a bumper to bumper warranty on a Range Rover?
R Feyman Carmax, who sells one on all cars they sell
best deals auto of Fort Wayne Indiana sold me a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper on my used 2011 Jaguar xjl... it costs me 500 bucks. made that back after my first month Lol. If you see the opportunity, take it! I wouldve never bought this jag, then they waved that huge warranty in my face... i still own my jag, and no out of pocket expenses
@@jjlegend3922 NICE!!
Lesson from the video: Bumper to bumper warranties from CarMax are well worth the money! :)
at the End they paid out 21k in repairs as far as i know from an article. So that means it saved him like 17.000$, not bad.
They really are amazing! I even have used it on my Lexus
I`m British and worked in a land rover , Range rover dealer as a mechanic for 8 years, they are by far the most unreliable cars i have ever worked on. I know of several customers that had range rovers that spend 90% of the time in the garage getting fixed and had to own another car just to be able to get about.
Proof?
I don`t need to give u proof of anything. Don`t believe me then go buy a land rover/ range rover and within 6 months you will.
Anything the British build is shit.. Your country is shit.
And where is it that your from then?
USA
Moral of the story: Don't buy Range Rovers
+thecarelectronicguy Or buy something made by the Germans.
+asdjfnljn3 range rovers are British...
+thecarelectronicguy anyone who can afford a range rover, it doesn't really matter much what repair costs are, as is the same with super nice cars, they're expensive to repair.
+Kenny they care that's why they all buy extended warranties, and most people with money are smart they lease high end cars get rid of them before they get up in miles.
+RandomVideos My Aston Martin DB9 was bullet proof for the 3 years I had it. Moral of the story not all British cars are created equal. :)
i love your videos too much
Me too, this lad gets so much hate though.
+GustavLjungberg Really? I bet Carmax hates him but for the rest, why?
+Marc Martin Beucause random people that watch his vids think he is a legit idiot.. when actually it's the opposite because they can't understand irony
+DanceMacabre It's not his videos or what he's talking about, he just has a really punchable face.
+DBZisthebestanimever Well that would be true for every individual at some point lol
I'm surprised They even have warrantees with Range Roonies these days. Nice cars but damn they do not last...
+Marcello Penk-Masucci Today CarMax 6year/66k mile warranty on a Range Rover costs $8400. I think you can see why
+February Learned their lesson! Every repair Doug goes in for, the warranty price goes up!
+Marcello Penk-Masucci Do what we do and change it in for a new one every three years, never have to worry about anything apart from a service every 10k miles.
EA - Enormous Assholes Yeah, but that might be a bit difficult for your Employees Who you constantly keep making work overtime without paying them.
Marcello Penk-Masucci hey, just because I'm EA stop judging me
Looks like Range Rover hired all the engineers who designed my 1986 Cavalier.
really? my dad's 84 cavalier was ok.
"WHY WON'T IT BEEP?!"
- Doug DeMuro
Next time... At CarMax: Doug DeMuro? Nope, sorry, there is no warranty offered on that car sir! Nope, not on that one either. In fact, we no longer offer warranties at ALL (until you leave).
range rovers are probably the worst for dependability ever known. this is pretty much a given.
It sucks bc they look so good and are so luxurious, as well as good off road. But all thats useless if they don't run..
Terribly unreliable coupled with astronomical repair costs, not a very good combination.
I've got a 2011 Range Rover, never ever had a problem in 5 years of loyal service... no one's fault if settlers drive like s..t
Co-worker said his dream one was a mid 90s one I said "Do they even still exist?" he said "They don't make them anymore..." I said "I know that, but are their actual mid 90s ranger rovers that are still road worthy?"
+Tim Young Don't say is useless. It makes a good drive way ornament. Hey mom, is that Bill Geek from MICROSOFT ?
I can't say I know anyone who's ever "enjoyed" their Rover ownership experience. Jag was the same for a long time, leading most of us US "car guys" to start referring to British cars as junk.
Ironically American cars over here in England don't have great reputations, the Chevrolet Cruze for example is considered one of the worst cars currently on sale.
+The Real Emile I totally understand what you are saying, the US car makers have made their share of absolute junk. I think the difference is the amount you are paying for the repairs. For what his warranty has paid on the Rover you could buy a Cruze. LOL!!!!
I suppose this is why so many of us end up driving Honda's and Toyota's!!!!
+giff74 Yeah true even in the UK those cars are super expensive to repair! I think that's the thing with car makers and countries if you make one mistake it can seriously affect you like with Lancia in the 80's or with French cars in the US!
+giff74 yea but no one wants a cruze lol!
+giff74 but in all honesty, I'd love a range rover. and I could buy one this year. But I used to have a land rover discovery II, and...it's just a bad, bad idea...
Range Rover (L322) was wholly designed by BMW and commenced production whilst Land Rover was under BMW ownership. Ford later purchased Land Rover from BMW in 2000.
L322 was a massive leap forward in terms of design, manufacturing and engineering capability but unfortunately the Land Rover v BMW divorce was a messy affair as when Ford took ownership L322 R&D was near production readiness and not complete.
As 99% of L322 R&D was undertaken by BMW engineers in Germany when Ford took ownership of Land Rover an agreement with BMW was agreed as part of the sale for BMW engineers to work alongside Land Rover engineers during the post 12 month sale transition. Unfortunately BMW were not going to reveal their engineering blueprints to a company they had just sold as some of those blueprints were scheduled to be shared in future BMW models, and as Ford did not undertake competent due diligence during the purchase of Land Rover the end result was Ford inheriting what was on paper a world beating premium 4x4 but turned out to be an engineered lemon that was plagued from the outset with production, electrical and other quality problems, issues that were in essence due to the complex engineering of L322 to which Land Rover engineers were left to bring a car to market to which they had very little input, knowledge or understanding, especially within the complex electrical architecture.
However, Land Rover always had electrical issues. I had a Discovery HSE year 2000, and in 2007 I took my teenage daughter, a toddler and a baby for a ride in a secluded place in the mountains, to look at a vacation cabin we wanted to buy. When I arrived home, the car stopped working - it just stopped! That was the only time I had any issues with my car. I loved that car, it was strong, and could pull our trailer my husband's 4 WD truck couldn't. However as a mother, I was scared, since where I was with my children, we didn't have any phone connection, and no one lived close for 30 miles or more!
My point however is, that Land Rovers always had electrical issues, and I've heard that from other owners, a long time before Ford bought the company.
Hen other times I read of the Defender driving all over thre African continent, and they're doing fine. In addition ay my kids' schools I think 1/4th of parents drive a LR of some sort, and I NEVER see them in other cars, nor dealer loaners. I'm perplexed, because I'm contemplating buying a RR HSE tomorrow. Wish me luck! 😊
My neighbor's Land Rover was so dependable when he traded in for a Dodge Caravan and think the Dodge is the most reliable car in his experience. I went home close all my windows and doors and laugh until the next day.
made my day hahaha
I managed 266K trouble-free miles out of a 1998 Dodge Durango 5.9 4x4. It didnt even have the factory installed transmission issues until around 260k miles, and even then, it just didn't like to come out of first on its own. Let off the throttle and it would shift fine.
if only dodge was at the bottom of reliability ratings with land rover
***** Man a 360 Dakota would be epic.
We have an 06 just like this, the only problem we've had with it was the cylanoids going bad on the suspension and not letting the compressor vent properly. Easy $120 fix from our local European specialist mechanic.
How is it now?
Loving your channel dude.
Range Rover has many many malfunctioning problems, my dad has suffered a lot
Bjl
I have a range rover its the biggest piece of shit ever. This is how the British are paying us back for helping them out in ww2
+speeddr2000 you're right this car is piece of shit it will never last for a year without breaking down
Thank your dad for not getting a Jeep Grand Cherokee, trust me
+Tomahawk Studios Yeab true grand cherokee has major problems one of them is the flying drive shaft 🙃
Biggest fix on my dads 2011 sport has been the right hand mirror, exploded when he hit a bird at highway speed. Has 100k miles so far with absolutly no issues. Pretty good for a 505hp suv. Pales in comparison to my 2008 Jeep Wk HEMI, 240k and still going strong.
Thanks, Doug! Based on your prior review of the Jaguar F-Type, I'm looking to buy one from Carmax. This review of their warranty is really helpful.
I bought a S1 XJ12 Jag that had a SBC engine swap. It broke down the first day I owned it. And the second. And the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and every day for a good 4 weeks until I replaced the ignition switch, column, starter, relay, wiring, battery, alternator, and half the dash wiring, then I gave up and stopped driving it.
+Charles Satterthwaite was. Had a 350 Chev saw in the 80's.
+TheAussieStig30 Bought a 1965 Chevrolet pick-up... No telling how many miles it has, odometer don't work. Still drives though #Merica
+TheAussieStig30 That's because an evil man by the name of George Lucas had his way with it at the factory.
The cost of your repair is what i paid for my 98 dodge ram with 36k miles on it 2 years ago and the only thing its needed the past 40k I've put on it is gas and oil lol.
+cjhawk67 i am guessing it is the one on your proifle picture? becosue that looks really nice
chip NFS That ones a 97 with an 8L V10 haha my 98 is a 5.2L V8 auto 2wd. I also have a 01 durango 5.9L V8 awd and a 1977 Dodge M880 with a shortened frame and stepside bed with a 440 big block pounding away under the hood.
chip NFS I got some videos up of me abusing my stuff but I tend to use both hands when i'm buried in the throttle so not allot get recorded lol.
+cjhawk67 nice rides man!
+cjhawk67 I have a 1991 d250 5.2 318 great truck
Oh man I love this guy! Just found by accident. He say’s and does everything I would say and do about these cars. Good stuff! Keep it up my friend! Jason
It troubles me how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for the laughs.
What a shit car, why would anyone buy one?
Shows Offs class segment wannabe in the RICH and FAMOUS. Like here comes the GEEK from MS. or the MOOSE from NFL.
they're fucking trash
lol, i did. they're turds with wheels
The same reason people buy old Jaguars, Mercedes or BMW's. Because stupid people are impressed that they have one. They think the person driving it has money. Value drops ridiculously on these things, but repair costs stay right up there.
Hey, is that a member of the Royal family just enter that LR ? wow! No wonder he had so much time & money to pick up his ride.
Land Cruiser FTW
While I absolutely agree and own a Cruiser myself, I think Doug buys these vehicles (Rover, Hummer, Ferrari) just so he can have entertaining experiences and stories to write about.
+Lance Feagan Don't forget the Skyline!
+dickcheese663 Yeah, i heard the transmission on those give out though. Still won't stop me from getting one. My mother had a late 90's 4Runner when i was a kid, transmission gave out. Just like the Land Cruiser would i assume. I love Japanese off-roaders though.
Dude love that you do all these vids for us would be buyers. almost got a range too. But all the things I've heard you've proven. Thanks!
amazing how you are able to have such a sense of humor about the car breaking again while filming..kudos
After watching this video, I see that Range Rover is making big strides! After all, yours always started, there was never an electrical fire under the dash or a total transmission failure, and it actually got you everywhere you needed to go. That's what I call progress!
This sums up Land Rover reliability perfectly.
Best video yet! Natural, amusing, and well thought-out. Thanks!
+Charles Satterthwaite just trying to spread a little positivity. Which is the antithesis of what you're doing
Lol Great Vid , Love the humor , the editing , you put allot of thought into this . Well done .
I bought a VW Jetta -91 1.8L with 140k miles on it for €500 three years ago and I had to pay €1k in repair/maintenance costs over those three years... I can't believe a newer "high-quality" vehicle like a Range Rover can be so unrealiable!
I'm assuming it's due to the more complex parts on a Range Rover and also that people can have drastically different experiences with the same car.
"If your considering a used land rover... Dont". The best advice ive heard in a long time.
Great video as usual Doug. Gracias!
this guy is hilarious and his videos are very well made, subscribed
wish he made videos more often
Range Rover, for people with too much money and not enough sense to buy a 4Runner
+airthrow You mean "Land Cruiser." It's just like a Range Rover...but it actually works!
Ryan Thompson You're correct, Land Cruiser is closer... but damn I loved my 4Runner. :D
+airthrow 4runner and Land Cruiser are both awesome but I'd take the soccer-mom/businessman/expensive personal driver service styled Lexus LX over them any day lol
If i wanted all that plastic, i might as well save myself $30k and get a corolla with the same amount of plastic and the same shitty build quality. Hell Maybe ill get lucky and ill get a toyota that DOESNT have electrical problems
+airthrow well they are super cheap because of the massive depreciation. The interior is like a rolls royce, no better value then that imo.
92k miles with my range rover, same year and specs, just suspension issues, replaced airbags myself, about 1000$ all four. Easy job.
I'm a new sub and I love your videos already man lol keep up the good work :)
And to think I was craigslist-ing a 95 Range Rover LWB today...damn you did well purchasing that warranty! Absolutely crazy how much goes wrong with those things
I have a 2005 Range Rover, never had 1 problem with it, in the 10k miles, I bought it with 110k miles, but I have replaced the things that could go wrong befor they break, front air struts, OEM $850, timing chain guides and water pump and complete cooling system, every single hose all OEM, $950, transmission flush, $250, that's me doing all the work, there not expensive if you're willing to get your hands dirty.
still doesn't deny experience of other people having reliability issues with range rover, yours might be lucky but others are not, european cars, especially older ones are known to be unreliable
My Range Rover has had 0 problems it's a 2008 Range Rover sport supercharged in red
Nice car. How is it now?
I am happy when i see these actually on the road.
good thing you got the warranty...
That's when Ford owned Land Rover lol, so... I've had to bring in my 2011 Explorer to the dealership like 20+ times.
That horn button sounded VERY cheap, like my kids Speak N Say.
I knew they have some issues, but that was super informative
Thanks for sharing all that!!!
Awesome video, Doug.
Why doesn't every Jalopnik writer have a RUclips channel?
Why is egly bagelface everywhere
+TopSpeedGaming 101 idk.
TopSpeedGaming 101 Fucking lol.
I'm like a celebrity!
***** lol I get "You're every where" a lot too!
The AE86 of Mt. Akina I guess we're just memorable.
Ridiculous! What was Range Rover thinking putting in such inferior parts in their automobiles? I bet BMW isn't far behind Range Rover in reliability...
+dan87951 Because until the full fat Range Rover was updated in 2013 and the Range Rover Sport in 2014, they were a mis-mash of Ford, BMW, and OG Rover parts that never really worked well together. The new ones are night and day, reliability-wise.
+Caarac Problem is I keep hearing that same line... The new ones are much more reliable. That may be true but you won't see me rushing to any dealers anytime soon until these new ones prove themselves. I have heard too many horror stories about Range Rovers from friends. ;)
My 1995 bmw m3 has almost 229,000 miles and still running strong with regular maintenance and common repairs. So I'd have to disagree with you there.
+Devin Black If you had enough money you can take any car to 229,000 miles regardless of how "reliable" it is. It boils down to what you're willing to spend to keep it running. Our 2000 BMW 740IL that we bought when it was only 5 years old was absolute rubbish. By 70k miles the whole front suspension was worn, had been through 2 alternators, numerous CAM position/MAF sensors, 3 radiators, 2 coolant over flow tanks and the list goes on and on. Friends of mine have had similar problems with their 3 and 5 series. The local dealer flat beds my neighbors 5 series at least once a month for repairs. You may have had a better experience but I will never touch another BMW because of what we experienced!
+dan87951 I love BMWs but he is right... BMWs are unreliable junk!!
simply the best video ever.
I have the same year range for over a year and a half and she's been great :) no issues.
2008 range supercharged. owned it for 2 years and no issues yet. 140kmi. love this car :)
U got lucky then
+Carter Grant yeah it's a very nice suv.
n300zx931 no i meant u got lucky u have had no problms with urs
Range Rovers are famous for headaches. Great cars don't cause repeated headaches
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!! ALMOST GOT ONE
I spoke to an executive at a car warranty company once. He told me that one of the few cars his company would not write policies on were Range Rover's.
If I had to guess, I'm sure some of the problems you kept having have to do something with Carmax.
Explain. Why blame Carmax? Range Rover are known to completely break down. One only has to look at complaints from Auto Trader or consumer reports for histories of issues. Let's educate ourselves before we say baseless comments.
I know Range Rovers are known to break down. I also know that Carmax has employees that know nothing about car mechanics. So, it's a lose lose situation to buy a high end British make from idiots. This guy should be glad he has or had a warranty.
+Paul Schab how do you know where he even taken the car? Maxcare are not only accepted at CarMax but any dealership mechanic or certified mechanic. so again, you're making assumptions.
There was a Mazda 6 parked to the left of you, should have just bought one new :))
But he would not look like Bill Geek from MS when he is near the 6.
CarMax must love this guy.
Great video - love the humour.
When you buy british buy 2 because one will always be in the shop.
lol
lol
Because he wants pass byers thinks he is Prince Charles.
@@loktom4068 LOL, can't afford one , JUST fxxking jealous
I think you should change your name to "bumber to number car warranty guy". :)
My uncle had a 2005 Range Rover HSE and the air suspension had failed so he replaced it with a spring system which was 4k and it only had maybe a few other issues. It didn’t have many other issues.
When I lived in West Africa from 1973-1975 there were a lot of Range Rovers. A lot of repairs. I drive a 2004 Lexus RX330. Wonderful car and no problems, top finish and quality. Saludos de Panamá.
thats y you lease a range rover. i leased one in 2005 then replaced it in 07 and again 2011 and now again in 2014, you always drive a new car and you spend wayyyyyy less money than you would had you bought one and sold it and again you always drive a brand new car. the only time you should buy a car is if its appreciating in price such as gt3 rs or any air cooled porsche, late 80s m3 etc.
Smart
The old range rovers are unreliable the new ones are much better!!👍
midwest sneakerhead the new ones are just as unreliable
The new ones are more unreliable because they have more electronics and gimmics that go wrong.
A buddy of mine's bought a new Range Rover, back in the early 2000's. That SUV spent more time at the dealership for repairs, than he had the time to actually enjoy it for any long stretch of time.
I think they have improved a lot since Ford bought them. I've got a Discovery 3 with 200,000k's on it.
I bought it because it got great fuel consumption but when I factor in repairing it my Nissan Patrol GU TD42 is actually cheaper to run. Having said that the Disco is way faster, handles better and is safer for my family. Would I take it 4x4ing? Hell no! It'd end up costing me more money.
Would I buy a Range Rover? Not unless you can afford a new one which has a warranty. Then sell it after the warranty runs out. So no I wouldn't.
To be honest though a lot of new Toyota's and Nissan's are having troubles over here. I tend to think if you want reliability you need to go old school sometimes. Nobody make's them like they used to.
Ford never purchased them their reliability is compared to a ford check wiki chevy will always last the longest my moms 2001 gmc Yukon with a 4.8 liter v8 it has 450000 miles on it
Ford sold land rover in 2008 FYI
Ford had lots of reliability issues and they quickly got rid of landrover before any thing else bad happened just buy a jeep
+Carter Grant haha. Jeep... Reliable. 😂
The lesson, buy a Toyota Landcruiser instead...
pbfloyd13 nH Rav 4 is better
kevin p
No. No it is not.
Well, a Rav 4 is WAY better than a Range Rover, yes. It is not better than a Land Cruiser though. Nothing is better than a LC.
are dumb
It's only thing that the Land cruiser does better than the Range Rover is reliability
I love your videos they always make me laugh😊
I heard stories about these things, but good lord! I'm amazed that they sent it to a Land Rover dealer for repairs, that's a great warranty. At least Carmax made the repairs for you.
My wife bought a clean low mileage late model car there a few years ago and bought the warranty. The car hasn't needed many repairs, but the service dept. is pretty good, better than some dealerships I've been to. I'd buy another car there.
It's such a nice car but so unreliable
This video purely slanders land rover, my 105000 mile rangerover of the same year has hasn't had 1/4 of he issues described
Doug great video of this car. I too had come to a conclusion about Paid for additional warranties. I drove Chrysler's ! The worst was my 1989 Chrysler Landua. The car was a great road car even in the Winter. This car went through 6 transmissions and too many parts to bother detailing. The engine (Mitsubishi crap) blew up on our worst road in the hottest day of the year 98 degrees. My car insurance cost paid for itself more than twice. I finally quit Chrysler and bought a Subaru Forester with extra Paid for Insurance thank heavens We got that. .
,
had an 04 Jag xj8. Car was full of issues. Air Suspension failed twice. First time, i replaced the blown strut. After the second failure, I put a coilover conversion from Arnott Industries.
you must have the worst one or you probably treat it li shit because I got the same car never have problem with it
more fancy shit you put on a car, more stuff to go wrong. want a good off-road vehicle? get a truck. dodge, chevy, ford, whatever tickles your pickle
+The Angry Djentleman I think you misspelled toyota
+Martin Espinoza The fact that this exists means weve already lost
+The Angry Djentleman Yea cos Fords and Chevies are sooo much more reliable -_-
+The Angry Djentleman you mean a stripped Jeep (not the current plastic wranglers)
+deadbolt9019 oh hell yeah take all that fancy shit off a jeep and you got a great base for a mud runner
Hey Doug. Wondering in this 11th hour probably like soo many others in the market for one of these marvelous works of art and others like it, with the means to purchase and enjoy them, but maybe not exactly wanting to shoulder the financial burden of repairing them as often as you experienced in our ownership. What would you say were the warranty company offerings on the market today that most reasonably resemble the Car Max warranty experience that you possessed on your truck my friend? There are quite a few, I'm aware. I just thought that maybe you may have some inside knowledge on who's the best to go with for foreign offerings like the Range. Thanks much again and please do keep the videos, information, articles and knowledge coming. Roddy. Cheers!! 🍻
I've got a 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II, and I've only had one problem with the "idiot lights". Other than that, it's been awesome for me.
For that same price you could have gotten something much better, but you just wanted to be materalistic say you drive a Range Rover!!!!
ur stupid what should he have bought instead Mr Materialistic Things?
Your lack of manly know-how is frustrating. Some of these problems could've been fixed with a fuse replacement likely, let alone replacing everything.
DEALERS ARE SCAMMERS.
Cory Curtis It's like the phrase "preventative maintenance" are foreign to him. A truck like this doesn't just run and run like an economy car. Change all your fluids/filters. If your shocks/struts are blowing, find out why. Check your filter/air lines/compressor and make sure everything is flowing properly. Put a new battery, then see if the electronics act up. These kind of cars, like all modern vehicles are heavily computer-laden and very sensitive to a low/weak battery. Another thing is, things do break. Factor that into the budget when buying one. He should understand that and stop bitching about the small things.
Yet most insurances will not accept you go to anything but a dealership mechanic, despite, its not like he's paying for the repairs, might as well get everything replace lol.
What if you replaced those parts with aftermarket parts? Would it not make it reliable, since you keep changing the parts one by one till the entire car becomes a completely different car and it turns into a brand new car!
Glad to see you got your moneys worth out of the extended warranty!
This guy tries way too hard to be funny, but to me he's just really annoying.
My dad has owned a 1999 Passat wagon and a 2007 Jetta both with carmax extended warranties. I know all about how much of a life saver they are.
Hey Doug, by anychance would you know if the LR3 and LR4 will have similar defects? Like with the airlift suspension, or tilt steering wheel ect. and would you buy one?
I have a 2004 Range Rover (no warranty left) and the air suspension makes strange noises. Plus I have the exact same problem with the wheel getting stuck. When everything works it's an incredible car, but these kinds of problems really ruin the experience
Wow that's insane! I'm actually surprised that they have paid out that much. Has there been any trouble getting them to honor the claims?
I love your videos!!! But I would like more information about that CarMax warranty. Like is there a deductible? Do you just drive it to the dealer whenever something's wrong? what does the CarMax warranty cover? How is all that work? Thanx for all the info!
Rented a nearly brand new one once and the motor blew getting on the highway. The crazy part was I was not even the least bit surprised.
you definetly should have more subs man
I expect an update at the conclusion of the warranty. CarMax must pay!!
2011 Subaru STI. 84,000km when purchased @ 105,000km 8 months later spun rod bearing. Warranty cost me $2800. Shop bill was $13,500.
This Range Rover actually hasn't been that bad considering how expensive your warranty was I was expecting a 3-4x return.
Atleast you kept your rover, my 1998 Civic LX was a manual shift and it got hit in a car accident in the back. The engine was fine, it was just that I didn't look good enough for any repair stores. After a few weeks, the engine stalled now, I guess it was time to give it up. I made sure to remove all the customizations i've added to it. My insurance company towed it away and gave me 2,000 in return. I now have a 2009 Civic LX but it's not manual anymore..
Wow the only thing i was surprised about, the warranty covered the Worn Suspension control arms?? That's a pretty good warranty.
Got MaxCare for a used Porsche Macan. Transmission went out after 2 years. Estimate was $20k. Took 3 weeks but MaxCare paid it out and I just covered a $300 deductable. I then traded in that car for a new one, and MaxCare refunded half the value I originally paid for the warranty since I had 2 years left. Probably the highest value thing I've ever bought.
Doug, do you have a recommended list of used performance cars/SUVs under $25,000? Or Fun to drive under $25K?
Wow! Thanks for your video. It has total changed my thoughts of owning a Range Rover. I have a 2011 Porsche CayenneS from brand new. Thinking to try a Range Rover for my next SUV. BUT NOW, I may want to get something more reliable. I would not want to and have time to fiddle the troubles. I'm in a pizza restaurant business, it is enough to keep me busy. Would not have time to go back and forth to the dealership for a troublesome car. Even I like the seating positions of the Range Rover. 😏
I purchased a 36k h2 bumper 2 bumper policy. I assume it will pay for itself too and I hate virtually all extended warranties.
I bought a 1993 Toyota Deluxe shortbed pickup w/ 285000 miles on a 22re for $800 bucks with 2 small dents but no warranty!!
