Q: Newcomer to Land Rovers
Hi Peter.
I'm looking at trading my Camaro in for a 2006 Land Rover Sport HSE supercharged, and have never driven land rovers before, and so I'm looking for some experienced insight into the repair cost, maintenance frequency, and what I should be aware of when purchasing used land rovers specifically from secondhand car retailers or dealerships.
Thanks for your time,
Elizabeth
