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*

I am close to buying an 06 RRS - Fully loaded DVD/NAV/, White/Tan mid 30s - 25K miles/Excellent conditions
  
Same here
 
I am very close to buy one
I am looking for an advise on the RRS. What do I have to worry about?
Should I take the care to an RR service shop to check it?
  
I have been reading about all the issues and complaints (electrical/Mechanical)
  
is it worth buying a used RRS?
  
Should I budget in a 3rd party warranty?
  
Please advise.

Haa.. Well... I bought a 07' with 20K on it... immediately took it to my local LR dealership and advised them to do a very good "once over" on it. I advised them that I trusted them and appreciated them looking it over thoroughly. I think they realized they will have me as a customer for the duration of my ownership. They took it in and gave it a full inspection for about $125. that was priceless though, since I know all is well!
You still have the remaining LR warranty. I wouldn't worry about the 3rd party warranty until closer to yours expiring...
You have a quality product and if your close to a LR dealership.. I think your good to go!
Im enjoying mine.. were still getting to know each other By the way.. this is my 3rd! I keep drifting away from LR.. but always seem to come back.. I think I will stay awhile now*

So do you recommend buying the HSE 2006 with 25K+ miles at 35K (asking price)?
 
Should I buy it from LR dealership or other none LR dealerships?
 
I tend to feel confotable with an LR dealership who can take ownership of their own vehicles... assuming!
 
It is such a hesitation to make up my mind. So many cars listed very few in mint condition.
