Second-Hand Range Rover Sport: A Good Investment?

[@dantalkscars5698]

Thanks for watching guys! I have a POV Drive video of this same car which you can check out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZzRomqaj8itms0

[@SkynetTeamDREADWING]

got a used range rover sport. 2015 v6 petrol. With warranty though, covers all engine issues and transmission too. Suspension, break pads and rotors were changed 2 months prior to me buying it. Service history looks awesome too. No scratches but has minor swirl marks Firenzo chilli red with white interior

[@Ja1vonwilson]

Hey I have a question for a 2015 Range Rover what kind of warranty were you able to get?

[@SkynetTeamDREADWING]

@@Ja1vonwilson i got mine with 82km on the dash. I got a 4year warranty or up to 160.000km warranty. I barely drive anyways so i might not even reach that 160.000km after 4 years

[@opeyemiadewaleadegbesan8857]

Great 👌✌️

[@Madmaxxxx1984]

I got a similar warranty for my Mustang and Explorer what was the name of the warranty you got I heard car Shield isn't too well was it offered by the dealership? Best of luck to your purchase

The sound system JLR uses for its premium audio is Meridian, and it’s a must have!!! I have it in my Evoque and it’s the best one I’ve ever listened to

I’ve just bought a range Rover sport HSE 2017. I’ve only had it six days and the engine light has come on. Luckily I bought it from the main dealer with a four year warranty. The warranty is a must When the car was delivered to me, it wasn’t the usual high standard I expected, but I hope going forward The customer service is better

[@Yall_Crazy]

How has it been since then

[@relentless1379]

This is so funny I only had the car for four weeks and because I bought it from a main dealer Land Rover Inchcape Chester I was able to get my money back. Afterwards, I realised the car had a lot more problems with it. It had a bad repair job on the front bumper. The drivers door had an accident and badly repaired and don’t forget I bought the car from a main dealer. In hindsight, I really dodged a bullet there. I now have an Audi A8, 2019 model.

[@samsongerald7643]

Bought one, then paid for the 2019 body kit and tail light on it , looks brand new. I love the buttons on this than the new touch screen that’s said to always go blank or freeze

Good review.

[@deuzerr]

Its a good video but more in the context of a general review on the RR Sport, not in particular if its a good decision to get one used second hand, just sayin.

[@paulsrusko6690]

This engine is famous for its catastrophic failures when crankshaft snaps out of the blue. Then you're facing engine rebuild that cost ~8-10k. So yeah, very good investment 😂 I wonder if this one is still running...

[@karankaler8777]

My only question is that why most of the people say that Range Rovers are not reliable and money pits and are always in repairs,is this true with the upgraded models also?

[@janetb6413]

Yet everywhere you turn people are driving the older models still, so if it’s that bad people would have avoided them and these are cars outside warranty

[@jeff1595]

8 don't even know i know Alot of people who gave bought this car and never had problems even keep them for years

[@SkynetTeamDREADWING]

Maybe you heard them from people who dont own one? Im personally buying one hopefully before the end of July or mid August. Used one tho, i dont like the new ones, too much electrical systems

[@sanmiguel4019]

There is a youtuber that has a 3 year old model, took it for a service and the main dealer charged him £5000. Absolute money pits!!!

[@samsongerald7643]

Yea I saw that but he said he didn’t do his due diligence when he bought it. Just saw the colour & loved the car. Main dealers are always expensive anyways and this cars are not for people who can’t afford it

Great cars Just make sure you have good warranty I have a 3.0 SDV6 Dynamic with 41K and FLRSH and the engine blew! LR know of the fault and its happens quite often! but are not interested so it cost £13500 so just be aware!

[@paulb8916]

@@sammyg805 U.K. chap the car is like new top of the line and LR dealer tried to help but LR hq not interested! So she had a new engine and turbos from LR there is a whole eco system of garages that’s sole business is replacing LR engines have a look on google, the dealer that did mine said they do about 3 a month! Jags, discos, L405 the issue has been around since around 2010 and you only hear the ones that LR don’t replace under warranty! Great cars just poor service from LR if they admitted the faults and helped to put right consistently mate related to mileage and under 10 yrs old everyone would sing their praises but they don’t! There are lots that never get an issue but the spun bearing shell/crankshaft issue is a big one and the newer models still suffer the same fate it purely luck as a fair fee are FLRSH and we’ll maintained

[@sammyg805]

@@paulb8916 wow sounds scary . Yea I hear all that all the time mostly online and especially overseas but for some reason in the uk all the people I know with range rovers 2014 onwards don’t seem to have these problems . I even have neighbours and they have never called the AA not recover truck to pick up a dead Range Rover . I see them driven all over my area happily so it makes me question that, if these problems is so rampant as portrayed online why would people keep buying them.. and I mean used range rovers , not even brand new with warranty…

[@paulb8916]

@@sammyg805 I know on the grand scheme of things it might be 1 or 2% but its only the TDV6 or SDV6 engine that suffers the issue, I bought mine expecting to spend some money same as my last one but she was good and that was the v8 supercharged model! Other countries in the world have forced LR to sort it I think one asian county did and also I think California has a lemon law so if the MFR wo covers it. The engine is a good engine pulls well with plenty of power and not bad on fuel its just one little issue where the shell the bearing is in rotates that then blocks the oil to the bearing causing it to wear which then mean the crankshaft doesn't sit 100% true and which then puts more pressure on the rapidly wearing bearing causing it to fail and then the crank can crack! this then mean a new bottom end but as any swarf from the crank could have gone anywhere its safer to replace the turbos too so its a complete unit! it can be done cheaper but often with only a 3 month or 6month warranty where as the LR unit has 2yrs. here a few links relating kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6K7dqCNm8-tZ9U get about 6 min in kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XdiXeBodB6ns0 Still a great car but its just the way LR deal with it thats wrong.
