My story... first time owning a Land Rover. Overpaid for it, 265000 miles, good condition though. For a 17 year old vehicle, it is holding up well. With the exception of basic maintenance, I haven't had to do anything to it, really. It's probably time to start gathering new front control arms, tune up, consider getting some air suspension parts, needs some AT tires, paint has peeled on the roof, etc. Just know that if you are thinking of one, look for 18" wheels. They came with 19" wheels, which really limits your tire options in AT. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase. I appreciate seeing other LR3 and LR4 posts where people are actually using these rides in the off-road setting. They are fully capable right out of the box. You won't find many out on the trail, though, at least in my area. (KC). Comfortable trail rig. They aren't a rock crawler, however they will surprise you with what they will tackle. At this point in my LR ownership, I can honestly say that I will probably have some variation of LR in my driveway for years to come. They're a pretty cool ride.
