    Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Can you guess what it is?

    Range Rover was giving me too much suspension problems. I couldn't stand going back to the dealer anymore so I decided to get rid of it today.

    Will be posting more pics of the new ride tomorrow morning. Late and I'm tired

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Speaking of susp problems ...hope you got an ML with the just recently revised Airmatic air susp compressor. Prev ones are binding and failing - car drops all the way down in front with no warning. Affects MLs and GLs.

    Considering he just got rid of a Range Rover because of suspension difficulties, this could get interesting .

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Congrats once again Mike S! Looking forward to seeing more pics. Enjoy her over the weekend...

    Who says it's an ML!

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...


    So it's a GL then? Congrats my friend ... I meant you lucky son of a ....

    You kept the audi RS4 and the range like what, 6 months?

    Why do you buy these cars if you don't even know if you want them or not? You have to take a hit each time you trade a car in. It must cost you a ton of money, especially where you live.

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Maybe he is brutally wealthy and money is not an option

    Perhaps it's not even a SUV.

    Congrats again, Mike (how often did I have to say that recently? ) and - just for the record - you know my friend...

    Cars are not an investment, they are toys. Sometimes you make a mistake and get the wrong one. One can never really know if you want the car or not from a mere test drive, sure it gives you a rough idea, but totally different when one has to live with it everyday. After spending several months with the car I can make better decision on whether if I want to keep it or not.

    If I am in a position to change it, then why not. I'm thankful and appreciate each day that I can do so though....

    Thanks Rossi, don't worry I will get pics first thing tomorrow morning! It's dark here at the moment

    Btw, it is a ML. For the record it would not matter if this car did have the suspension problem. This car I just bought with a little premium on top. My real ML63(a white one) is arriving end of April. It would be the 2nd ML63 that dealership has delivered

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    So you just bought your dealership's first ML63, and you have an order in place for a second one? Now I'm just curious why you bought this instead of another SUV, or could you just not wait till april?

    Right, Mike. If I would think of them as an investment, I would give me the bullet...right into my forehead.

    How long is that in case of Mike? Fourteen days?

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    I think Mike's mind is at his LP640!!

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Mike hahahaha, what can I say , you know how to live life ....

    Too sad you sold your range rover sport!!!, I would have said bye bye to the touareg!, anyway!..

    What where your problems with the suspension?
    We will probably go for the new range rover sport tdi v8, or new cayenne S facelift.....

    you are NUTS!!!

    Did I said you are nuts???

    many congrats!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    for the zilion time, congrats mike... but honestly , admit that even without the suspension problem you woul have traded it for the 63.... the suspension issue is to clear the conscience... i use that tactic every once in a while

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Can't wait to read your review. Congrats

    The Range Rover had some "Fault with suspension when cornering" light that had come on twice. I had left the car with the dealer several times since November, they had replaced who knows how many parts. Sadly, the problem never went away despite all the reassurance that it had been sorted out this time. The car also only had 10,000miles on the odo and it already had all these problems.

    I love the Touareg, that car will be here for a long time. Awesome vehicle. Range Rover is a good looking car and has a nice interior, but that's as far as it goes.I would take 1 Touareg over 2 RR's anyday!

    Don't worry, I will post lots of delivery pics when I get the LP640 They say I will have the car by the 9th week of the year

    I'm kind of glad the Range Rover had the suspension problem, because the ML63 is so much nicer to drive! It has got soooo much power. Once it has been run it I'll put it up against my Cayennne Turbo and see what the outcome is.

    Hope you guys still remember what happened to the RR when I raced the Cayenne Turbo

    @rhino: of course!

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Mike, congrats on the ML63. That is an awesome car. I think it will outrun your Cayenne Turbo unlike the RRS.

    Thanks Way!

    Here are some more pics of the ML...
















    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    nice pics!
    i really liked the 3rd one from the end, where the rim and the caliper are reflecting the sunset

    NICE!!!

    Come on! Andi isn't that bad, a little bit disoriented maybe, especially at work, but basically he's a nice guy.

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Mike..To me you are a better reference then any magazine reviews and test !
    If you keep the car longer then 6 month it realy proofs something ! Real long term tests in real life ! Great to have you around!

    Congrats on your new SUV....hope you will not have to look at it too often as the styling is so .
