$6000 Repair Bills Are The Scary Side Of Range Rover Ownership

Doug DeMuro has talked about some of the scary, warranty-covered repair bills he's had on his L322-generation Range Rover before, but this latest one is particularly hefty...

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen DeMuro chronicling the massive - yet thankfully warranty-covered - repair bills he’s had on his 2006 Range Rover. However, the total amount Car Max has had to pay out on the warranty it sold with the Range Rover has just shot up considerably, thanks to the replacement of the front suspension control arms and the transfer case.

The cost for just that repair? $5937.47, bringing the total to a monstrous $15,659.51. On a car which is worth around $9000. Ouch.

It doesn’t look like it’ll end there either, with the temperamental Range breaking again by the end of the video…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

God bless the bumper to bumper warranty

I wish my cars had it…or any warranty for that matter…or even insurance

Demuro has this nailed down. He’s got the deal of a lifetime on a Range River and then uses it to make part of his living.

I’m starting to think he may be a genius.

I’ve got one of those on my tiguan and luckily i haven’t had to repair anything yet, but when i do, it’ll be great having that warranty.

I actually think it’s cheaper to just buy two Range Rovers and use one as a salvage for parts

Man i wish that there was a column on some site to read his experience

I shouldn’t laugh, but you have a point.

autoseller.com/understeer am i right?

Honestly, i want to him to have a column on a site

Planning to get a Range Rover?

Get two. That way you can drive the other one when the one you bought in the first place breaks down.

I’m sure that 2 would be not enough…

You could make a pretty good game out of this
“How much does that repair cost?”

Well, Here In Bengaluru, India The Folks At Chevrolet Did Not Even Fix My Car And Took 11,000 Rupees a Which Is….What?! It’s 169 Bucks!! Well My Car Is A 2009 Chevrolet Spark (it’s called beat in india)
