Default 04 Range Rover or 05 LS430?

Guys I need some input im thinking bout selling my 02 GS and getting either a 04 Range or an 05 or 06 LS..

I know if I went with the LS I would have piece of mind knowing that nothing major would go wrong, comfort ya know all the good stuff lexus has to offer

I dont know much bout the Ranges quality, one of my friends from work has one and he said he's never had a problem with it yet but a few of my friends said to stay away from it and just get the LS

So basically I was just wondering what my fellow CL'ers have to say or if any have had any experiences with it...Thank You

Wow, completely different vehicles you’re inquiring about. I would first ask myself what am I looking for in my next vehicle and then narrow down the selections from there. You selected one of the finest and most reliable car on the road vs. the worst of the worst in reliability ratings inan SUV. Not too often this question comes up. Personally I would take a 4Runner over any LR, but that it just me. What are really looking for in your next vehicle?

I just really looking for realiabilty and just alittle more room then the GS..I love the design of the Range but if its not the most realiable car then thats enough for me not to be interested in it anymore.I guess its gonna be the LS hopefully i can find the ultra package within the next few months...Thank You guys for your input and everything

To be Honest I would take a look at the Audi Q7 and if you don't like that then get the LS.

I would stay away from most Range Rover's they're junk......imo. My neighbor finally got rid of his to get a Camry, it gave him so many problems and was only 2 years old.

if u are looking for reliability, definately avoid range rover
go for LS or LX
