Two words: Stay Away. LR + 12 years old + 220K = Money pit. If you really like LR4 feel, go with the newer model or one with 100K mileage so you can enjoy it for 2-3 years with bare minimum maintenance (hopefully). Land Rover is well known to be expensive to maintain after 150K - 200K mileage. And its parts are equally expensive even if you opt for OEM parts from Sharjah dealers like NAPCO and Gulf Stars. If your budget is limited then I would highly recommend Japanese or US brands that stay far reliable and dependable even after 200K kms.

doesn't apply to Toyotas @M.Seidam 😂

LR4 early models only offered v8 5.0, if it's v6 then it's a LR3 face lifted to LR4's look. 15 to 18 will be ideal cost for a LR3 v6. Sell JGC and get a Prado LC150 for onroad and offroad 😁😁

I absolutely loved the LR4, the drive and ride qualities are simply superb, not to mention road presence. owned one - 2015 model and was so much in love with it that I swapped it for LR Discovery in 2019 which i eventually swapped it for Jeep 😎 Even with all the warranties and maintenance contracts, LR is pricy - i can't imagine owning one without them. and if you are planning it to be also your ride to the deserts you will be disappointed after newbie level - LR4 is not for the sand (the reason I have a Jeep now!)

As mentioned, please stay away.

Well balanced Equation and can be valid to any car more or less .

Unfortunately I can't come guys. I just left the event formally too. Have fun!

Also check for any hidden cracks in the rubber boot connector to the intake manifold . Check if it’s squeezable or not I mean if feels hard occult crack can be there which even after cleaning still will bring dust and sand in causing same symptom. ( personal experience)
