Range Rover Suspension Failure and British Car Reliability

Adam Curry recounts mechanical issues with his 1999 Range Rover, including a melted fuse box and a failing air suspension system. A mechanic advised a $1,700 conversion to a traditional suspension to avoid the car bottoming out during the cross-country move to Texas. The hosts joke about the notorious unreliability of British automobiles and compare the technology to older Citroen models.

Range Rover Purchase, Negotiation Tactics, British Engineering

A 1999 Range Rover with only 43,000 miles was purchased for $10,000 cash, down from an asking price of $11,900. The host shares a negotiation tactic: avoid mentioning a cash payment until the final price is settled to prevent the dealer from hiking the price to compensate for lost financing interest. Despite potential camshaft and electronic issues common in British cars, the vehicle is intended for use as a mobile command center.
