You obviously have much more money then I have.

The Russians do build some tough, durable and reliable things in spite of what some people think.

The info on the range rovers I get is from all the car salesmen I know. They won't even take them in on trade ins because when people bring them in the range rovers usually require a few grand in repairs just for minor things like broken lights or non working instruments on the dashboard. The parts are very expensive. Also I have been told that they are prone to electrical problems that are a pain to fix. Now I am talking about the newer ones and I see the ones you have owned are older.

In regards to old soviet vehicles I would like to have a LuAZ 969M or a GAZ 69. They are both simple and you can pick them up pretty cheap.

I rented a Range Rover sport for a week, it was a piece of junk.

Putin taking a Lada Riva SUV made the news some time back

You have to know where to buy Land Rover parts and how to do your own work.

DAP in Springfield, VT, Rovers North in Westford, VT, and Atlantic British in NY near VT border.

There are other suppliers in England I use sometimes.

NEVER buy from Land Rover! You'll need to mortgage the house.
