Assuming it's for use here in the DR I would see if there was a dealer close by first of all. Also, like all "luxury items" you will be expected to pay through the nose for parts and repair. I personally would choose something more common. Also, I would make sure it had a real chassis as opposed to a unibody if I planned to go to the campo a lot.

If I had the money I would opt for a Toyota SR5 or a Nissan Patrol. You could do the Dakar in these things and there are plenty around.

Another thing is the Land Rover calls a lot of attention because only the rich have them here. I would prefer to be more subtle.
