Make me a douche not withstanding current douchness? I want one. The wife says it is pretentious. Tell me the good or bad. Are they as reliable as I have been told or is that a thing of the past?

I'd talk to a few mechanics, see what they think.
Buddy of mine had one for a few years. It spent more time in the shop than on the road. He hated it, but his wife liked the "look".!
Ended up getting rid of it at a loss and bought a high end Toyota...

You couldn't run fast enough, to catch me, to give me a RR. Seen too many problems w/ them. Kinda like the boat owner.............2 happiest days.

We looked very hard at buying one a while back. We did the research, talked to owners, service folks at more than one dealership, took a look at the Consumer Reports on them over the years, and then ran away!
Bought a Mercedes ML350 instead. Much better vehicle.
YMMV

I know the price on an OE cat is like $2800.00, and that was several years ago.

I would definitely check on reliability. Try Edmunds or Consumer Reports. I've heard they break often and fixing them is expensive.

The current issue of Consumer Reports says they suck from an owners' cost standpoint. I'd get a Toyota Land Cruiser for that kind of jack.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

Triple dog dare you to buy one............ Snicker..... Kidding aside, they seem to be hit or miss as far as reliability, mostly miss.

Having owned an 08 Land Rover, I'd not ever buy Land Rover/Ranger again...

that brand was tops in customer complaints. Most of the problems were electrical.

Consumer Reports has panned them for years. Cost of ownership is sky high and reliability is very low. My sister had one long enough to develop a special kind of hatred. Her face would redden at the mention of the name...

I always thought they looked kinda cool, but never considered getting one. A side note....this fall, while coming through Rapid City, there was a huge fireball up ahead of me on the shoulder of the interstate. While even part way down in the median while going past, you could still feel the heat with the windows up, and barely read what was left on the rear hatch...r n%3r Ro^*r.....
