How much of the car do they need to replace before they say, "That's not the car we sold you."

Pinata in the shape of a Range Rover... ...breaks with one hit.

Ah the range rover. Hammond and May on top gear discussing how they both had one. Hammond : "Did yours ever, what's the word... Work?"

$3900 for a 6 year warranty for an ancient range rover? what were they thinking? LOL

Sell it back to CarMax

I wouldn't be surprised if CarMax goes out of business soon at this point.

I live in Australia. When you take a 4x4 into the Outback here, your life can literally depend on your vehicle. And nobody-NOBODY-takes a Land Rover product. They take a Toyota.

The dealer knows you have warranty. So they find every possible issue.

I'm surprised CarMax hasn't offered to buy back the car and give you another car.

Richmond, VA (Associated Press) March 30, 2017 -- *Pre-Owned Auto Reseller CarMax Forced to Declare Bankruptcy Due to Massive Losses from Extended Warranty on a Single Range Rover.* _Story developing..._

If you wanna go off-roading take a Rover. If you wanna come back take a Toyota.

In the meantime, my corolla haven't had one problem in 8 yrs.

This is the best CarMax commercial ever ( no seriously, its awesome). Its making me seriously consider getting a CarMax warranty for the next vehicle ( if I go that route).

Doug, the day the warranty expires, sell it back to CarMax. Depending on how much they offer, and taking into account the value of the warranty repairs, you might even come out ahead!

Hands down my Favorite Doug DeMuro review. His glee at reading off EVERY SINGLE repair that was covered was priceless. thanks, Doug. We completely felt your joy here.

Awesome...never thought I'd admire someone for buying a warranty...

doug, a key to the warranty is before it expires pay the dealer to do the "certified " check. They will find all kinds of stuff they never looked for or you even knew was broken

There won't be any CarMax party because all the party supply money went towards your repairs!

So basically.....don't buy a Range Rover. Thanks for this video. Mind has changed.

I owned one and I had it! This car has more problems than the Mercedes and BMW combines! It's not worth to own it beyond two years old!

I bought a 2009 Maserati Quattroporte from CarMax in 2012. I bought the same warranty, as of today " after adding all my receipts " minus the $50 deductible, it has totaled $19,303.12. not bad for a $3700 warranty add on!!

It is painfully obvious that Cherry Hill Land Rover is extremely fraudulent and not actually replacing parts. That is why the horn and steering column motor keep failing, they have never been replaced with new parts, yet the dealer keeps billing CarMax for fake repairs.

I've heard Land rovers reliability is pretty sorry, now i'm pretty much sold on that rumor.

Leased a 2018 Range Rover , after 4 months of sensor failure after sensor failure , leaving me stranded 3 times , returned it to dealer , and with help from a lemon law lawyer , got my money back , went for a Toyota Highlander , never looked back , and will NEVER get another Range Rover !!!

Sell that junk before the warranty runs out..

You know how your body replaces all your cells every 7 years? Well a range rover gets itself entirely replaced every 7 years

Why range rovers have the lowest miles per gallon SUV? Because they spend most of Of those miles behind the tow truck. 😝

Scotty Kilmer was right. Range Rover is an endless money pit.

Man, Range Rover makes Chrysler cars look reliable.

CarMax doesn't pay for all the time wasted

" Carmax is going to have a party ... probably have a pinata in the shape of a range rover " HAHAHAHA 💲

KZfaq apparently knows how to play jokes, because I got the most hilariously overblown ad for a local Range Rover dealership after the video ended. Looked like a wonderfully luxurious place to buy a lawn ornament

Damn that warranty saved your ass!!

Yup, I bought a 2007 BMW 335i from carmax and I also bought their warranty. Warranty was about $3000. They have paid at least $15,000 in repairs, just two moths after i bought the car, I blew one of the turbos, they replaced both turbos, a $7000 job. that by itself has payed off for the warranty. CarMax warranty is the best, it's through CNA btw.

I sold my 2011 Land Rover LR4 to CarMax in January. It had a huge dent in the side, needed a new transmission because it couldn’t pass smog and the transmission was so bad it bounced like a low rider. I was told by the dealer it would cost 40k to repair everything. CarMax paid me 10k.

Doug , your the greatest ...my wife says , I wanna trade my Benz for a Range Rover. So I Meet this guy who is literally is trying to give it to me , and he says I’ll trade tomorrow. I’m thinking in my head , wow I’m going to be getting a great suv. But as always, I pray about things first, and got on KZfaq and first video that comes up is yours. So after this , I won’t even look at the rover , unless Its given to me. Lol - Thanks bud

Who would ever want to buy a range rover after seeing this?

*B U M P E R T O B U M P E R C O V E R A G E*

Range Rover = complete piece of crap, but it looks nice.

He gets so excited about the frequency of repairs and the increasing amount of money saved, overlooking the hassle and frustration of getting a vehicle fixed. This all points to an advert for Carmax..

Why do British sports cars have a passenger seat? So the mechanic has a place to sit.

So they rebuilt your car basically lol

this is the definition of laughing all the way to the bank lol.

Sounds almost play-by-play like my 2004 Mercury Monterey mini-van (Mercury badged Ford Freestar). I bought it when it was three years old, when the original 'owner' returned it at the completion of their 3-year lease. It had only about 20k miles on it. The dealer did a 'certified' checkup and repaired everything on the list, including putting on new tires, brakes, replacing a cracked center console section, hiring a firm to re-sew some upholstery that was damaged due to the previous owner's kids yanking on the pockets on the rear of the front seat. The dealer also provided a Car Facts report, which looked clean. I think I paid $13,000 for the van. The dealer offered a bumper-to-bumper aftermarket warranty policy for $1,300, which I took. Had never taken an extended warranty or anything of the like before, and considered them to be probably some kind of rip-off, or at least a risky crap shoot like playing the lottery. Within the first couple years I had it, the warranty had kicked in over $8000 in repairs for things like the tri-zone air conditioning having all three loops' metal piping rotting out, power locks failing, power windows failing, steering issues, brake master cylinder failing, some sort of electronic engine control module failing, two wheel bearings failing, etc. Ten a year later the engine suddenly lost power in the interstate highway in the middle of a snow storm. I was able to limp the van to the nearest deal, which was closed, and take a taxi home. Turned out something in the ignition had fried, and it was necessary to replace almost everything in that system, including all of the individual ignition coils, which required dropping the engine to get at the rear ones. That repair was over $2000. So the warranty had kicked in something over $10,000 so far. Just before that warranty ran out, the brakes had another expensive issue, the transmission had an expensive repair, there was another electrical issue, and a couple other things I forgot about now. All paid by that warranty. After the warranty ran out, the van has luckily been pretty reasonable in terms of reliability. I replaced the tires because the ones the dealer had put on when I bought it were hard riding and noisy on the highway....the Michelins I put on have been great. Ford sent me a safety recall due to fears that corrosion would compromise the rear seat's attachment to the body, and the dealer had the van for a full week to implement the 'kit' provided by Ford to remedy this issue, but that was Ford paying for the repair and not the warranty folks (they also paid for a five day rental of another mini-van). About the only other stuff that has gone wrong since then is the rear brakes have caliper issues; they keep failing to retract fully and the brakes drag very slightly, resulting in two instances where I had to pay for replacement of rear rotors and pads and calipers. Contrast that with my 2003 Honda Accord which I drove over 200k miles in 10 years, and the 2013 Accord I bought to replace it, 70k on that so far. Did not buy an extended warranty on either, neither of them cost me more than oil changes, filters, tires, and very rare brake repairs when those wore out. Never any issues I noted that would cause me to see a mechanic or the dealer. Both cars had a couple recalls each, always for some fairly minor things that had apparently happened to others but not to mine, e.g. replacement of a wiper motor because some owners had experienced internal motor corrosion that could cause the wipers to fail when most needed. I still drive that Mercury mini-van, since I use it as a sort of enclosed cargo vehicle and on occasion when i want to haul visitors around to see the sights.

"I might keep it because it has a lot of new parts on it." Yeah....new parts that consistently FAIL within a year.

If there's no oil under a British car, there's no oil in it.

LOL... I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing someone got good use out of their warranty. I can't wait now for someone to call me about my cars extended warranty expiring. I used to HATE those calls, but now I can't wait to get one. LOL

I took over a lease on a 2015 Mercedes C300. This is my list of replacements and repairs done all under warranty on that vehicle over the course of just this February, one month! Every week was a new trip to the dealer... Replacements: Front driver's side window (wind noise) Driver's seat headrest (broken adjustment) Driver's seat back pocket (broken by dealer) Left front axle shaft (strange noise) Right front axle shaft (strange noise) Left front upper control arm (strange noise) Repairs: Panoramic sunroof rattle (x2) In-dash rattle(x2 but has returned) trunk rattle (clip fell off inside trunk lid) So all in all, my first German car experience... Well, I love my car actually, it is truly a pleasure to drive, but damn would it be expensive to own out of warranty.

Note to self; short CarMax stock.

Fuck yeah. The Range Rover videos are the best.

I’ve been wanting a Land Rover forever!!! Now with your video I think I’ll get one!! I was freaked with the cost to keep it going but now!! Thank you!!

Wow first time seeing this and this is literally my exact situation. I bought a 2007 Chevy avalanche and I paid 18 or 19. The truck literally had 2 engines, trans, and bunch of other work. Roughly 20k worth of work. I saw Scotty Kilmer talkin shit about car max warranty and I’m like dude you’re crazy lol. Glad you covered this!

how are the newer models of range rovers? also not reliable?

are the bumpers included in the warranty?

There is some kind of illusion that goes round that Japanese and German cars go on forever and never go wrong, they are like the old man with the broom "this is the most reliable broom I have owned I have had it for 20 years - it's had 4 handles and 10 new brushes" LOL

Your dealer's service dept smiles every time you show up ;-)

I own this piece of shit but I love it so much. I no longer take it anywhere to be fixed because I have fixed nearly everything to a point where I know all the parts and how to replace them in my driveway all alone with my tools. Rule number 1- Know junkyards in your neck of the woods and be a mechanic as soon as you buy one. Commercial mechanics are super thieves and should be avoided at all cost. With cold front blanketing East Coast, I didn't want to fix my last breakdown in my driveway so I took it to a supposed 'great shop' in my neighborhood to fix steering column! The parts and labor they quoted was $7700. Like a joint user, I said F it and drove it to a nearby LKQ junkyard and pulled the part myself and paid $31. Drove home and after 4 hours of jamming afrobeat while working on my rover, the machine was ready! I saved $7669.

You convinced me two things, never buy a Range Rover and when buying a used car from CarMax get the warranty!

It's very sad for me to watch this video. I' ve been dreaming about Range Rovers my whole life and I was planning to get one as my first car (an old and used one of course). Now I know It is not gonna happen, but thank you Doug for preventing me going broke

land rover makes x3 times more money from replacement parts that's their way of maximizing profit I suppose

Doug will get banned from CarMax because of this car.

I would sell it back to CarMax

In 2009 I bought the 2006 Range Rover for wifey. Let me tell y’all this has been the best car I’ve ever own. In almos 10 years with our RR and only minor repairs and regular service done. We had few offers and we can’t get rid off her. Love the ride every time we drive it and still looks great.

Still love the Range Rover, I know there problems but I just can’t get over how much I love this car

Although the warranty did save you, but I see that you don't factor your time and hassle into the costs. All that trouble is not worth it.

man this is a quality car

This is Doug's BEST video ever!

This is my favorite series on the internet

warranty to warranty bumper

Thanks Doug, you've cured me from ever considering a Range Rover, though I've always wanted one! Carmax really needs some better management that understands when to just buy back the car and crush it and take the deduction. They also need to develop a list of dealers with such flawed repairs and variable billing for the very same ones.

It's refreshing to hear of a company that stands by it's warranty, even when there are big ticket repairs. I'd love a Range Rover, but the running costs are too high, they are too complex to work on, and if you want all the toys to work, it will drive you nuts. Having said that, you really have to drive one to know what people see in them - they are superb.

Who currently owns Range Rover ?? Drove a petrol sport once and wasn’t particularly impressed with the somewhat standard but wielding cumbersome handling . High seated position was advantageous but seemed to give a feel of unease like a pendulum effect. Reliability was never the ultimate forte of a Range Rover but listening to Doug his experience is plain diabolical. Car max honouring their warranty as any reputable company would is worthy of a award for perseverance. I’m not about to say Doug celebrity status might have an influence as this after the numerous claims would’ve surely been exasperated. Lesson here people if you don’t have a Range steer clear and avoid the possible addiction. Car max I take my hat off to you because many a warranty firms would have thrown the towel in and left their customers stranded rather than risk bankruptcy after all it is a business. Doug great informative video as always .

I need to get into the range rover parts business

Buying a Range Rover ...... Dumb. Buying a Range rover with an extended warranty.....Genius.

Car max warranty is second to none, they send to certified mechanics if their techs can’t make the repair themselves. Can’t beat it!

The manager on carmax be praying that your car will not need any repairs when they were selling you the warranty hahaha

What the fuck is wrong with that piece of shit. Doug I've had 99% less troubles driving a 99 Mercedes M Class and that car is now 18 years old? (Lest we forget how supposedly unreliable the 98-99 M class is?) This piece of malarkey is what 12? and has shit itself more times than any car I've owned. Time to switch it up Doug

FINALLY THE VIDEO WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR

I'm sure CarMax greatly appreciates you helping them promote their business. As far as a Range Rover, keep it.

I was laughing so hard during this video 🤣

When you see the notification saying that Doug uploaded a new video, you know it's gonna be a good day!

the take home, DO NOT BUY A RANGE ROVER!

Doug, you really make CarMax feel like melting right now.... ha ha

I started smelling lemons around the 1:57 mark. And the more I watched, the stronger the scent of lemons became

Is there not a warranty on all the garbage parts you are buying? Why is CarMax replacing something numerous times, and is the dealer not paying for it.

Sell it back to CarMax when the warranty expires...make them pay for it again!

Thanks, from a retired British car owner!

You go back to CarMax and ask "Can I buy another extended warranty for my Range Rover, please with sugar on top?"... CarMax: "No, and hell NO".

Most awaited Video on a Range Rover of all time

It's amazing this pile of shit is worth $9k.

This is without doubt your very best video to date... It made me laugh my arse off.... you did a great job explaining all the issues with your wonderful R.R

Glad I bought a Shogun now. It was a toss up between the two but having worked at land Rover and seen how they're made plus the reliability issues the shogun won it!

Has Britain ever made a vehicle worth more than the metal it's made with?

Im driving a 2006 Honda ridgeline. 189,000 miles on it. in 12 years changed a radiator and stabillizer links. Using it for work (masonry). Thats i call reliability.

I strongly suspect this warranty was paid without issue strictly because this is a journalist’s vehicle. The same wouldn’t be the same for the rest of us.

One of my friends who has always had higher end cars...had a 1999 Mercedes C280 Sport black on black back in 2001...He did buy the extra Mercedes Starmark warranty..they paid out over the course of the warranty over $19K on repairs! He loved to get the loaner cars though...He had a Range Rover given as a gift from a client once...(nice clients)..he sold it as the warranty was up!! He knew what a money pit they were..Every car even the 2012 BMW he bought in 2014 he bought the extended warranty..I said I don't think you will get any use from the BMW warranty as they are good cars..WRONG!! It's been in the shop many times as well!! Thanks to Doug's video I can confirm that Range Rover is a unreliable auto!!!

This car needs to be crushed into a cube.

"It's got a lot of new parts" that all seem to fail despite being new

Yes Doug. Everyone knows Range Rovers are crap for reliability. ;)

"CarMax will be covering a 12 year old Range Rover under warranty" such madness cannot be comprehended nor understood.
