@Fhemmmy
Thanks for your input as always, I really appreciate your concern. The thing for me is that apart from the Range, G Wagon (thats about it), the closest to it is the Hummer H2 - which from what I found out (I actually approached someone who has one at Cool Cafe the other day - black lovely thing) is a guzzler. The fuel seems to be the only down-side of the hummer H2.

Except someone in the house has a different view - especially regarding the day-to-day use.

The guy I approached actually told me the Hummer H2 is simply a drive off vehicle BUT has a minus of fuel consumption. For me its a professional vehicle. He also said he rarely drives it due to the fuel thing BUT again, the Range/Sport/LR3 and the G Wagon are gradually looking like THE options.

Maxima?, pathfinder? - Im trying to place you Bre but its hard; why are you doing this to yourself? Im not trying to say Nissan is just for losers BUT I mean check it generally;

An 06 Maxima wears out within 6 months of use (It depreciates terribly) with those funny china looking torch light things at the rear - at Tokumbo, they look ok but 6 months into use they look like the bumpers are walking away from the lights.

They dont make good bodies for Nissan; how long have you used your Maxima?, state how much you bought it, AND check nairaland for how much its going for right now.

Not to brag BUT i have a 2000 Nissan/infiniti QX4 in my garage since December - Ive only driven it about twice to VI and that's it - I'm even desperate to trade if off for even a used CLK or something.

Nissan is very far from it - It deprecates terribly (see people selling off their 99 pathfinders for 750k - stuff was 1.5 like 6 months ago)

Well, you have to console yourself though - I respect that.

Did you know that the Range Rover is rust-free?

Are you kidding me?  You sure you wanna talk about depreciation? You are planning to spend N5m for a ride that cost over N15m few years ago 

I hope you buy the car and see how much you will get for it after 2 years of driving it. You will have to pay me to take it from you

Actually I wont sell a ride I drive - I can only trade in for a better one (better in the sense of what I can drive). The Infiniti/Nissan I have is for trade NOT for sale - That's what my auto-consultant is working at. Its actually better to trade-in than outright sales.

I see adverts online where people price Pathfinder for peanuts, and these days you see them almost on every corner they are selling cars/used vehicles at ridiculous prices.

I refuse to talk about Nissan in the context of what I can or will consider to drive. Its like me admitting defeat in life, that's the only thing Nissan hits me as. So please dont make that reference anymore.

The ML you mentioned is a very good option, which I would ordinarily consider BUT it is not roomy enough for my use as a business meeting/Family ride. Its too small. Thats where the Rangers come in.

Thanks for your advise though - AND I will appreciate if you don't mention that brand or any of its models on my thread, its making me feel very cheap and unfocused. I respect its your brand of choice but its making things very unclean here.

You must be an interesting person[b] to have that brand as your "Dream" in life[/b]

The Range rover is NOT the Best SUV in the WOrld.

It is a luxury vehicle, and if you're looking to buy a Range, the costs of fixing shouldnt even been in your mindset.
You dont buy a range because its "Safe' or Valuable.

You buy a Range Rover because you want a Range Rover.

Hummer has a higher safety rating than the Range.

But even its not the "best SUV"

Angel, you have said the best Can you imagine? Shocks he can even get for like 3000$, he'z bothered about it and he'z downgrading the status of Path,

I hate someone trying to bring down other people's choice, I can't go against the limo,the Escalade,the cad. just because I am a fan of Nissan, I don't do that sh/it! And the guy bargains like a hell,  He bargains different sort of cars,

He said one guy's maxima is still up for sale, what about Walla's Range , its been up for sale for close to 2 years now,imagine!

Onwan, if I were you, I would go straight to the fu/ckin dealership and pick my stuff, I pay them cash, I get them stuff! If care is not taken, I may buy the Range before you cuz I am liking it

But wait Platinumnk, we have talked before,ain't we? You look smashing in your profile photo, You kinda my dream girl, Still in the States? I am back in my motherland anyways Your nose piercing still keeps me floating Wish I cld be looking at it 24-7
