The LR2 is cheaper and I can get a 2008 over a 2007 (less miles too). I just am not sure if a 2-3 year old SUV such as those will give me more miles than a cheaper lower end NEW SUV such as Equinox. haha, again just based upon the vehicles that I’ve worked on. I know a good number of folks still driving their old RR’s/LR’s on a daily basis, still ticking away, some with close to 300K miles on them. They are solid vehicles, they can though really bite the wallet if things go wrong. Electrical is the worst opart of them, but find me a british vehicle that doesn’t have that illness! My mom has an Equinox. That’s actually been a very good vehicle. My wife wants a Q5. The debate for that one is still up in the air :lol --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-car-advice/250857)._
