[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1037344, member: 74754"] All I can report is that our 2004 has had zero major problems since new. It currently has over 250k on the clock. But we don't defer maintenance. I think once a car sells "cheap" it goes into "weak" hands. People who can only afford the price to buy the car, but likely to defer maintenance. They basically run them until the wheels fall off. If you stay on top of maintenance issues, even a Range Rover can be reliable. This weekend I'm rebuilding the suspension to restore ride quality. I'm also in a state where snow and ice are rare, so the underside of my '04 is clean and absolutely rust free. That probably has a lot to do with its condition as well. I'd never buy a used car that has spent any significant part of its life in a snow state. The rust issues look nightmarish. [/QUOTE]
