You have to have more money than brains to buy a Range Rover.

They look nice though.

I have a 2006 Range Rover, before that a 2001 Land Rover. Going back further a Toyota 4 Runner, and earlier two Cherokee Jeep Limiteds. The best looking of the lot is the Range Rover. It gets about 18 mpg, it's predecessor the Land Rover, 12-14 mpg. We purchased all of our 4 wheel drive vehicles new and aside for a recall repair, from time to time, nothing unusual in terms of costly unexpected repairs. Now that our Range Rover is out of warranty we take it to a reliable repair facility that uses only authentic Range Rover/Land Rover parts. In fact the owner of the garage owns a Range Rover. Not burdened with the high overhead of a dealership the cost saving is approximately a third less. Most of the savings in shop labor.
As an aside, my wife and I were on safari in Botswana a few years ago, all the game camps utilize Land Rover. Saw one Toyota Land Cruiser that wasn't used all that much, because it was too heavy. It was used in the summer months when the ground was baked hard.
