Hello all. Recently, I have come to the realization that it would be wonderful to have a Range Rover. I am a great admirer of the 1996-2002 body style, and I am currently looking into finding a 2000 or later 4.0 SE. I have done about as much static research on these cars as I can (rangerovers.net, edmunds.com, and eopinions.com, ect..), but now I need to ask some questions!
I am unfamiliar with any Land Rover product. My neighbors have the new Range Rovers, so I am familliar with their layout, but not with the things only true fans know-the good and the bad, problem areas, that sort of thing. My family is a German/Swedish car buying crowd, with an emphasis on Volvo.
My main question at hand, is the reliability of a 2000+ RR SE. For example, are there any daily surprises like a Jaguar? Is high mileage an issue? I would ultimately love to travel across the country in one. Would it be able to go 3,000 miles of daily highway driving w/o issue? Thanks for reading and I look forward to becoming more educated with RRs!
