Thread: How Much Do You Spend on Your LR?

Bit hard to answer, as I have two of them. And I assume that you do not include in this figure fuel, registration and insurance? How about oil, grease and filters? Do you include tyres? How about spares bought just because they were a good buy and you will probably need them some day?

The easy figures I can find are total expenditure for 2011 - for the County was just under $4,500, and for the 2a was just under $1,100. These include registration, insurance and fuel as well as maintenance.

To get an average figure you would have to go over several years, however. The County obviously does a lot more kilometres than the 2a, and also it is comprehensively insured, where the 2a has only third party property.

That's right, don't include fuel, rego, insurance etc, just the cost of repairs and maintenance averaged over a few years.

I have one to two services done per year on each of the two LRs. The service is seldom less than $500 and probably closer to $1k and that covers standard consumables and the odd replacement item due to ware beyond the things changed at each service.

my 94 D1 es was very cheap to own and would have cost less than 1k a year in servicing.
The D3 tdv6 hse is at the other end of the spectrum costing $12,500 in just 2 years at service time and that was with no breakdowns.

Except for serviceing I spend bugger all on mine. Pat

tOUCH Trobbo! I think you've just taken away my hankering for a D3!
Is that Stealer servicing?
My D2a is just going through costing me a lot...complete Td5 engine rebuild, will be about 5k I reckon. Just before I got it the transmission was replaced at about $4k I imagine.
Now I know the diffs and driveline are all effectively new so should be ok for a few years at least...... here's hoping anyway.

more than the average bear

Mmm a lot more than the wife thinks



And to be honest I don't count and keep score and never have and never will. Economy is not the reason I drive a Land Rover.
