I am always afraid from Range Rovers. I heard and read many bad stories about them. In my country they are saying; First owner will drive the Range Rover after that Range Rover start to drive the next owners. For that reason i would go with Escalade.

Hey Gaurav, Of course opinions are like onions, they can make you cry, but i will try to give mine: * The Range Rover is a very capable car and if you can find a well-maintained one, you could be lucky. However i hear many technical issues with these cars, and very very high maintenance costs involved. So finding a decent workshop which has some knowledge of these cars will be required. * The Escalade is a fantastic and indeed roomy SUV but again on terms of maintenance cost and reliability they are notoriously bad. I am sure that there are tons of people driving these cars and are very happy with it. So it comes down on some experiences and maybe having a chat with some workshops and car mechanics to see how they feel about it. I'd definitely go for the Range Rover, but try to find a very good model from a private owner (used a transport from and to school)

Thanks, Saleem for your valuable input and I totally agree that Escalade hood is 2 bedroom hall that you can sleep and work happily and that's what makes its maintenance lot easy and prolly cheaper than RR. Thanks, Fredrick as I said my heart is set on RR, but I am unable to find the clean one and in Silver / Grey color in under 100k mileage. RR having donkey mileage is gonna be a money pit as I had one before (146K kms) and I know all the associated drama. Having said that, I like to try new cars everytime as I keep the car for 2 years and flip for minimal depreciation within 5-7 years of age. Perfect to try best cars without losing an arm and leg. I never repeated any car in my last 15 years of driving history and RR is the only one that I wish to repeat. One of my close friends recommended Escalade and after driving few I can say that they are no less than RR (just 7-inch longer) and that's what made me little confused for my next buy. I hope someone here will have some strong point to persuade my decision in either direction.

escalade will be better as its a roomy lot of stuff can go in this car and has good space in the bonnet to work in..and many dealers have used amrican parts here as compared to the range rover... P.S : this is my views and opinions if anyone has opposing views and opinions please feel free to post as there is lot of place in this forum to post your views and opinions instead of messing up others views please post some genuine reasons so we all can learn and make use of in future regarding the question asked therin...

And I might use black for the positive just to add to the confusion. In all seriousness though, it’s all I could lay my hands on. Terminals are stamped + and -. If anyone is stupid enough to mix them up, they probably deserve what’s coming.

There is a reason you won't find a RR with low mileage because it is very hard and very expensive to turn the odometer back, next to impossible. Either you change all ecus including the cluster gauge from a single al with same mileage or be ready to hire a hacker who can hack into the ecu. Cars like caddilac need a cheap usb obd dongle and set the mileage to whatever you like or go to Shj and pay 50 DHs and have it 000000 if you like. Notice how you will find almost every car even 15 yrs old with low mileage but as you know almost no RRs. Ever wondered why? I love the new Escalades and if RRs didn't exist in this world Id probably be driving them. Also the Jaguar S/C unit and the ZF transmission are know to last long I've seen cars with 300k plus kms on it and still pilling strong. And now there are about a dozen dedicated LR workshops in Shj that charge very reasonable rates also couple of new scrapyards srocked to the roof with new RRs also very reasonable. And believe me parts are not expensive at all save for an odd bit here and there. You can call me or msg me for a detailed discussion if you like Also i know to many you they come with built in latches that you can undo and the hood opens up straight 90degrees where you can actually sit on the motor and work if you like. Ask me how I know this! As for a vote do I even need to?
