RANGE ROVER 2 (P38A)
1994 to 2002
BETTER than some would have you believe, the second-generation Range Rover’s reputation for unreliability is sometimes undeserved. For a luxury 4x4, prices are very low. No serious rust issues to speak of and if you are handy with electrics and a laptop computer, you can use diagnostic software to solve most problems. Replacement parts can be pricey though. The diesel option is from BMW. V8 petrols are thirsty.
BUYER’S TIP: 1990s luxury for not much money.
