    To Rover or not to Rover... LR3 purchase consideration...

    Well, what I've found is that $16-19k is about the market price for 2005-2006 LR3 SE, with average to that year mileage (up to 100k), while HSE's are obviously a bit higher priced, and condition is about 7 out of 10... While this one at $21k is at 50k mileage, its HSE and in pretty good 9 out...

    Thanks a bunch for very useful information. I will consider everything all together... I get my tires from local America's Tire store, they offer a "few day satisfaction" policy, where if for whatever reason one didnt like the tire, they'll swap to whatever else you prefer. So far my choice...

    My research had shown the cost to be about $1000 for those, IIDTool is cheaper thou, if money was not an object, is it really worth it to still go to Faultmate? As in where someone bought IIDTool, but regretted not buying the Faultmate from the start?

    My understanding that stock size is right about 30 inch tire, so going up to 31 would be perfect more or less and not put too much strain on drivetrain or gearing. Going up to 32 would require some modding & will most likely effect MPGs, and other components. correct me if I'm wrong, but...

    Specific reasons to own such tools? - read/reset faultcodes, reset check engine light?, or it goes deeper as in allows to update the ECU firmwares as well? As far as tire size, what do you say is max that can be used without ANY rubbing? I'm most likely will be using either BFG A/T or GY...

    Not to be a ************, like others said - but I've decided that I'm buying an LR3, its the matter of choosing which one of them to buy, and TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY... I just want to know what to look for as far as ups/downs during the selection.

    I've looked at LX470/LC - love the interior of the 2003-up, just that the rear trunk and overall interior space - LR3 just made it simple for my wife & I to decide to try it. another simple thing - LR3s are just not your "see it here - see it there - see it everywhere" vehicle, not everyday you...

    Thanks guys... That seems to me that most of the issues are a common thing, with any vehicle to have some hickups. What do you all say to an "accident/damage report" on CarFax? Owner says that bumper cover was replaced with fenders & grill being painted to blend the color? Other than that...
