Man shares useful tip after buying a Range Rover for $750

A YouTuber spend a measly $750 to buy a 2010 Range Rover Vogue in relatively decent condition.

This Range Rover wasn’t built yesterday, but it still looks good enough, and it looks solid and luxurious enough.

The price is super low, which begs a couple of questions about its reliability.

But, amazingly, nothing went wrong in this case.

What kind of Range Rover can you get for $750?

Range Rovers, especially older ones, are notoriously unreliable.

This is why they sometimes end up being scrapped in large graveyards or old barns.

Part of the reason why it’s easy to find one for $750, which is what this YouTuber paid, is that they’re cheap to buy but a nightmare to run.

Mind you, in this case, things went well.

Alex Kersten, the UK-based content creator behind the AutoAlex YouTube channel, spent £600, around $750, to buy a 2010 Range Rover L322 Vogue SE.

There was a lot wrong with the car, including a faulty gearbox, but everything was mostly fixable.

The tires were done for, the brake pipe was damaged and the car leaked oil.

These problems are annoying, but not insurmountable.

And even though Alex and his team had to spend a lot of cash fixing it, the experience with this 2010 Range Rover Vogue taught him a lot.

Specifically, Alex and his team are essentially saying if you want to buy an old Range Rover Vogue, buy the cheapest one you can.

This is because at some point it will definitely go wrong, whether you bought it for $750 or $7,500, and it’ll cost you money and stress.

So you might as well save money, and stress, by buying it cheap.

Range Rovers, especially older models, are often seen as unreliable.

This is probably going to change with the next model, because it will be electric.

EVs can also be unreliable, but in a totally different way, or for entirely different reasons.

There are fewer moving parts, and a lot of components that might break in an ICE can’t break in an electric car simply because they aren’t there.

There’s no such thing as a faulty gearbox with an EV, for example.

Will that finally make the Range Rover reliable?

We’ll find out, but it’ll certainly be better than the fake Range Rover we bought.
