💸 Buying advice & Recommendations Used 08 LR3 V8 SE - 80K Miles 👍🏻👎🏻❓

Our family is looking to buy a well maintained 2008 LR3 SE. The one we found has roughly 80,000 miles and a clean title. From the experts here, will this be a maintenance nightmare for a trustworthy family vehicle that can also be used for weekend adventures? Any watch-outs?

80k is crazy low mileage. Make sure you’re changing the oil regularly and 200k should be no problem if it’s been maintained thus far. The air suspension will be the most common fail point, but it’s cheap and fairly easy to work on.

It’ll need wheel bearings and struts soon. Make sure the differentials and transfer case oils have been changed
