beautiful vehicles, and they must be nice, I once had a customer walk and by another Range Rover AFTER their previous one burned down on them on a family vacation the week before, still went back to get another.
Happy wife - happy life....
Has your wife driven a new Porsche Macan S ? My wife's looking to replace her Lexus GX470, we drove a new Macan last weekend ($67K), hauls ass, drives like a sports car (As much as any SUV can) and the interior is gorgeous :thumbup:
That's the one I'm gently coaxing her towards.
The other one we drove and really liked was the Audi Q5 TDI and loaded it up it's about $ 10K less than a moderately optioned Macan.
We've been looking for about 8 months now :smackhead, this time I've told her it's her decision, I'm just chauffeuring her around and acting as a consultant / negotiator (Should we actually get to the negotiating stage :rolleyes )
The LR4 came out in 2005, and while it's had a few cosmetic updates, is largely the same vehicle.
Believe it or not, the LR4's reliability is about average compared to other cars, if industry reports are to be believed...which is outstanding for a Land Rover product IMHO
So if her heart is set on an LR4, that would be the one to get.
My buddy has nearly 130k miles on his 2006, I've been waiting for it to grenade for years but he still drives it daily.
But if it's my money, I'm hesitant to own one...lease would be better.
Can you give us some kind of budget to work with so we can tell you what we would buy instead?
Hey - I have been known to buy some really impractical stuff and keep it.

The Macan is the yoga pants of SUVs. My wife would like one too.
HA HA HA --- funny, although I've learned the hard way how NOT to use cliche comparisons as a sales tactic with my wife of 36 years. I found her a really sweet super low miles, loaded 14' Mercedes SLK 350. I think I was doing good right up until I attempted to toss out a compliment by mentioning how I mostly see "Cougars" driving them ---- OH OH :yikes I was told right then " I'm no FOOOCKIN COUGAR " and she proceeded to walk off the lot, while I'm rolling on the asphalt :lmao Sales dude had no idea what had just happened :yikes
Just a reminder that you never really know women ---- 67 and still learning daily
No the Cigarette would not have been a good choice to tow
