just hit 100k.. what to do

Do I sell it knowing I won't be able to extend the warranty next year (replace with a newer D4) or do I keep it knowing its dropped like a stone in value and run it in the ground?

Tricky one as its not yet let me down, bought 2.5 years ago with 59k for £20 now worth £12 / £13 at best

It’s a difficult call as it could go on for ever or it could go from being worth £12/13k to £4/5k on the next drive. Only time will tell whether it’s a good ‘un. Keeping it is an unquantifiable gamble, replacing it will cost money, it always does. All part of the joys and frolics that is LR ownership. Thumbs Up

Not sure that helped any. Laughing Laughing

Mine is also a 2010 and is on 105,000, last year I did consider changing it, but couldn’t really afford to buy what I would like, although there wasn’t really anything that stood out as a replacement, which made the decision to keep it easier.

Due to this, I decided to keep it and will probably just wait until something extremely expensive goes wrong, as it can’t be worth much now. Since making the decision, new suspension arms have been fitted, along with replacing the handbrake and the air compressor, so I am hopeful mine should be fault free for a bit, well a few days at least.

The same applies to a newer one as well. But you’ve just invested more money in it. I suppose you maybe able to get a warranty to take some of the worry away.

Keep it. What you lose in depreciation on the next one will more than cover any big bills. The key is to not skip on maintenance.

I can see the case for keeping it and I ran my first 2006 D3 to close to 150k miles. However, I knew that I could always replace it with another one (albeit a D4).

If you really want to keep driving a D4 for the foreseeable future, then I'd buy a low mileage (sub 20k) D4 with the EU6 engine. I'd probably pay a bit more from a LR main dealer and get the 2yr used warranty and then keep extending that.

Thumbs Up
 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

I would agree with LT apart from the fact that the warranty won’t cover the crank snapping!
