I have a query on used 2008 Land Rover Range Rover car maintenance cost and the common problems faced by it.

Like any other luxury brand, a Land Rover’s cost of maintenance is above average. This is due to parts being specialized, and a lack of aftermarket replacement part options; but also simply because of the name. Land Rovers are typically good vehicles in regards to reliability, however, there have been some electronic issues with sensors and wiring harnesses being damaged due to heat exposure. Overall, it’s a fairly good used vehicle to purchase; however, without being there to complete an inspection or looking at service and repair history of the vehicle, it’s hard to give you an accurate estimate of future repairs costs.
