Thx for all the well wishes, in the future if my garage space and $$ allows it, I would definitely get a f13 gen m6 again for the stable. Right now, its time to try something new!

I've owned 3 generations of Range Rovers - and while they CAN have issues, its best to buy with a 3 year warranty. I bought my first RR 10 years ago, which was a 2007 RR Supercharged, at 135k miles. Iffy, I know, but it lasted me just fine after my regular maintenance overhaul, and I eventually sold it to my friend who still drives it, and has it at 240k now! Had a few issues like suspension bushings, engine dash electrics (all wear items) but that things still chugging. Then i bought a 2010 RRSC w warranty, I had one issue which was the air suspension pump, which went out, and warranty replaced it. Again, a wear item.
Now, i'm on my 2015 L405 RRSC, and again, bought it with warranty. I haven't had any problems on it for the last 2 years. My recommendations for buying a RR is, buy used, to save on $$ . And buy a SUPERCHARGED spec motor. They are built tougher and are tanks.
And lastly, buy a RRSC with over 50k miles. That way you know that thing is well worn in and issue free. Thats what i've always done and its been a great ownership experience for me. Yes, you DO have to put in some maintenance $$ as I do plugs, coils, transmission, diffs, all the fluids and proper service upon ownership, but after that, its just oil changes for a smooth 100k miles. Def have warranty as piece of mind, cause things can and do break on em. But there's nothign else like a range, its just the most comfortable car on the road. And that v8 with 510bhp is no joke!
