For the money your going to pay for that I would say go with a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, its reliable and if later on you want to sell it to upgrade people wont hesitate to take it off your hands. I don't know about current LR models, but I personally know of 3 friends that have owned a LR and they have all suffered the same fate - faulty electrical issues. One friend rolled it off the lot brand new here in the US and had to exchange it within a month because of issues, that was a 2009 model. The two other friends had 2003 and 2002 models.

Also, LR dont offer much room in the interior; yeah they look bad-ass, but still, in DR you have to think of a car purchase as an investment. Ask around, and you will see that most people will say the same.

I concur.... My friend's Range Rover (the big shot car) is in the garage/dealer RIGHT NOW.
It won't shift gears.

The dealer is stumped and is suggesting something about the oil pump.

2006 Range Rover w/ 25.000 miles -- like nothing.

They SUGGESTED the oil pump thing and said they hoped it would work... nothing definitive.
They have no clue as to the root of the problem AND they won't share their ignorance w/ an independent mechanic.
You MUST go to the dealer.

Sorry Bob - I like the look of the car but ...............

Prince Charles on the other hand has no problems..
