Hey All,
I posted this question on Expedition portal in the Land Rover Group so I thought I would get the other side of the argument. I've been trying to replace an Xterra that I lost in a crash earlier this year, pretty much settled on a GX but have been put off by the high prices for high mileage rigs. So on a whim I looked at LR3 and Oboy are they cheap by comparison. Wondering if anyone here has direct experience with the LR3 and a GX? Am I insane to be looking at 12 year old British SUV for $6k with less than 80,000 miles? That same GX could easily be $9k to 15k. I drove an LR3 today and it was nice and the dudes that are into them say great things about them on and off road. But the reputation for poor reliability scares me a bit. ..... Looking for something with lots of air bags, a nice upright seating position, quite and comfy for long drives and not afraid of tougher forest service roads. Lets just say the Rav4 that I've had as a place holder is not happy on the dirt at all and I miss having a real 4x4.
Thanks!
