I have a discovery 04 which I love. But that SUV is very much a truck when it comes to performance and handling. I am torn between an Escalade and a Sport when I get a new car this year. Also if anyone who has an LR3 reads this would you buy that too? My wife wants a new car when I get mine so I have thought about that one for her. Any other advice such as for the Mercedes GL series would be appreciated. Thanks

I had two previous discoveries and now own LR3 SE 2005. While I am not planning to change the car for another 2 years, I am constantly evaluating what I should get next LR3, RR sport or RR. If you have small kids LR3 is the best. It is very different from older discovery and makes it a lot easier to put kids in or out, plus it has very good third row. Third row is useful when you are going with grandparents somewhere or with friends who has kid or two. If family is not a consideration, I would go with Rang Rover Sport. Most likely it is more fun to drive.Cannot tell you much about other cars, I am one car guy.

I would agree with your friends. Buying RR out of warranty is gambling. The dealership labor charges are pretty big, at list in my area, and car is complex. Any small problem will result in hours of labor costs. Most likely no local mechanic will be able to figure out what is wrong. Pretty much you have a choice of getting cheaper car and take a chance on the repair costs, or get newer car and relay on warranty. If you have plenty of cash you can gamble, but if you are starching already to get this car I would not do it. It also a matter of convenience, older car more trips to the shop, more wasted time. I drove couple of 2003 RR (not mine, my friend is an owner of the used car store) and they were in bad shape, granted they had more miles on it. Personally I try not to buy reasonably expensive, computerized cars more than two years old.
P.S. RR is nice, no question about it.

As long as it is a certified Range Rover with the two year 25,000 mile warranty extension I wouldn't be too worried about it.
Land Rover has 4.9 percent financing available on CPO cars too.
I wouldn't buy a non-certified Range Rover or a Range Rover at a non-land rover dealer.

Im in the same boat with a 07' RR HSE with 30K on it... What do you guys think? it can be CPO'd for an extra 1,500 which will extend the warranty for another 12K miles or 12 months ?! HELP*
