I would really love a P38 Rangie. But a good one for £2,000?!?!?! Not in my experience. But it would be magnificent. Driving high, looking down imperiously at all the modern day crossovers, enjoying the comfy leather seating, admiring the walnut veneer whilst driving across your neighbours paddock. It would be absolutely lovely. And then it would break down. Then you will have a £X,000 figure garage bill. You would be slightly less in love with it. But you soldier on and start to love it again. Then a fortnight later, there would be an electrics meltdown. Back to the garage, and another £X,000 bill. The rose tinted spectacles are beginning to fall away. You get nervous when you drive it. It no longer feels quite so special despite the badge and luxury appointments. You hear a noise. What was that? You start to worry. Better take it back to the garage, just to check it. They confirm the worst. And then there's another bill. The used Honda Jazz at the dealership down the road begins to look increasingly attractive. But your heart says, 'yes, but what looks better on the driveway...' And it is a Rangie after all. Read more

LR = complete piece of junk.

It's one of those cars that has gone from something you see every day to one of those cars you just don't see any more. There was almost 200,000 on the road in 1994, yet by early 2014 there were just over 2000 left.
