Please brethren I'm really concerned about this and in need of valuable advice. I'd like to know if it's a good car to own as per reliability and cost of ownership, I'll prefer the hard truth and not biased information. Current and previous users' experiences are highly welcome and most importantly car gurus, mechanics/technicians, engineers.

LeJeun3:


Very reliable vehicle!
Maintenance as per the book is more than a pinch. . .
Don't cut corners!

sooperrescue:
Very reliable and maintenance is cheap. It is only when you try to use mobil 1 that you will hear tales by moonlight. The number 1 problem is the engine oil. Many people ignore that and fry their engine. Getting used engine is above 4 m and most owners still cut corners when it comes to maintenance. Genuine brakepads is not more than 15k per set, oil change with the recommended 5w20, air filters is not more than 90k and that is twice a year. Get it and join our range rover off road competition taking place in Lagos on Democracy day. Registration is on going by sending a mail to info@arcnigeria.com.

erico2k2:

Not cheap to mentain bit is a luxurious car .

sooperrescue:

Castrol edge extended performance 5 w 20

sooperrescue:
Twice a year. The Engine oil price depends on the current exchange rate. Last year, it was 3k per litre, this year, it is going steadily into 7k per litre

Avoid that car bro. Its a money pit. Are you ready to battle balloon issues?

kingreign:


its not cheap to purchase, not cheap to run and maintain, its got a big v8 motor and a supercharger blowing air into it for more power so you're getting a complicated engine, complex electronics, and its more than 2ton of curb mass so do not expect cheap gas cos it requires premium gasoline which is unavailable in Nigeria, octane boosters can be used yet its expensive and most products available in market are snake oils. Parts are expensive, failures are abound but not as woeful as its immediate past model.

You're only buying this truck cos you love it, and not for any other logical reason than the love for it and the luxury and brand loyalty.

sooperrescue:
Balloon issues? How well do you know the car? How much is the balloon? And how often do you hear the balloon giving issues? I once heard of a mercedes Cls with balloon issues and the balloon costs 550k and the owner needed 2. It took the owner 6 months to raise the amount and sold off the car. With 380k, you will buy 4 balloons of the range rover sport but there has never been anytime when you will need to change 2 balloons in a range rover.And it is also the mechanics who see all issues as balloon fault because they are too lazy to check out the faults. I once heard from a Range Sport owner how expensive the maintenance was, that he changed the two rear balloons for 600k. His driver quickly moved away, then I knew that things are not what they seem to be.

Bro I don't know you but I really laugh at this submission here...... Of all the problems you could highlight on a 2010-2013 Range Rover Sport you chose the "balloon issues"

At bolded: 1. Not every range rover sport out there is supercharged 2. That the life of a machine

kingreign:

i know there is a v6, a tdi, a v8 and s/c v8 in their powertrain line up.

The range rover and land rover are not synonymous with reliability. Never!

sooperrescue:


Haba, Kingreign, Please you are cordially invited to the Range Rover Off road competition and beach party on Democracy day in Lekki. Na there you go see reliability in off road mode.

kingreign:


Baba, thanks for inviting me. but true The Rigs are of road beasts, but every day long term longevity with minimal cost of operation isn't in their nature.

I won't agree with you on that, Boss!!
