Read moreA $45,000 used 2018 Range Rover sits in the same showroom as a $90,000 used 2024 Range Rover. The cabins look almost identical at a glance. The badge is identical. The depreciation curve says one is twice the bargain. The complaint data ranks the 2024 second and the 2018 third, acceptable only with a pre-purchase inspection (PPI).

Read moreThe Land Rover Defender, a preferred vehicle for safari participants and military operations, debuted in 1948 as a series of British off-road cars and trucks.
