Used Land Rover Range Rover for Sale near Calgary, AB

Range Rover P38 (1995-2002) 15th August 2008 The famous British Range Rover has been around for many years and is capable of far more than just the school run. The stately home on wheels can be described as class-less. It does not matter whether you are a multi millionaire or just a middle class family, it appeals to a wide range of people. In the UK, Range Rovers are common on the second hand market, probably due to high fuel prices and taxes so they are very cheap to purchase. £1,000-£5,000 Australian market Range Rovers are not so common and command a far higher price. The prices range from $7,000-$23,000 depending on region and condition. Range Rovers come with a comprehensive list of features, even on the SE but the one to choose is the HSE or depending on the Country you live, the special editions like the Autobiography, Holland & Holland etc. Performance. The power of the 4.6 ltr V8 effortlessly pulls the 2.2 tonne mass with hast without breaking a sweat. There is a sport mode on the automatic versions that holds the gears longer for quick acceleration. As with all P38's, when it comes to corners, they wallow and if you manage to take corners fast with passengers, they probably wont like you for it. Luggage space is excellent and even better if seats are folded down.. Build Quality has been well documented for all the wrong reasons. Range Rovers need regular attention or yours may become another famous statistic. Minor improvements were made each year until BMW took ownership, these later models from 1999 -2002 had major improvements. Appearance - Strong chiselled jaw look, later models have clear indicators replacing the original orange ones and improved front fog lamps. Some minor cosmetic adjustments to cabin and newer, improved engine. A wide range of OEM wheels are available. Cost - Petrol V8's drink like a fish, it helps to have seriously deep pockets. Fuel costs come down if converted to run on LPG via 75 Ltr Gas tank in spare wheel bay. Parts in Australia are expensive unless sourced from second hand parts or from UK. Vehicle Insurance in Australia is surprisingly cheap if you shop around and the registration (Road Tax) is similar to a Holden Commodore. Fun Factor. The elevated driving position, leather arm chair like front seats make long distance drives very comfortable. Then there is the standard 10 speaker sound system with sub woofer. The off road abilities set Range Rovers apart from their competitors which is why they are still king in extreme environments.

Performance: average acceleration, outstanding braking, good handling Build Quality: great, no squeaks and rattles Appearance: very good, everything is where it should be Cost of Ownership: high (expensive parts) Fun Factor: very high, comfortable on the road, unstoppable off the road

Engine always runs strong and ride quality is great. Amazing off-road and comfortable. Transmission is smooth and clean. Gets Ok MPG given its weight. Perfect for hauling things due to big load bay and easy access because of rear tailgate and air suspension. Interior is very nice and ride is smooth. Engine is Ok on power but has a lot of torque to move itself around with.

Just love it Can't say why. Maybe the high ride, the gorgeous V8 sounds, the luxury or just the name. Nevermind it's just impossible to explain. Against all odds, would be the car to keep for everyday if I had to choose one.

Horrible on gas. Air Suspension is a pain but if you can look past that then its one of the best cars to own. GREAT off road, cant be beat in the snow. One of the safest, greatest looking vehicles out there.
