Okay so this is going to sound really crazy(and stupid).
-i'm only 14, (going on 15in a week)
and i want to save up for a 2000 range/land rover for when i'm 16.
Is there any possible way,
without working full time, wasting away the summer?|||Good choice in a first vehicle. Don't let ANYONE tell you different. If they try to, they do not know what they are talking about. A Range Rover, if owned in the company of other Rover enthusiasts, will set you on a wonderful path in life full of great people and great fun and adventure.
Fortunately, you don't need to save up much to get what you want. Resale values on those are pretty low, and that works great for purchasing.
That particular model is called the P38. They have an undeserved bad reputation. Land Rover bit off more than they could chew with the air suspension, and it tends to fail eventually. Simple to fix, though.
One set of coil springs, and you never have another problem. Great excuse for a lift... :D Just buy one, and don't worry. If it ever gives you trouble, grab a set of coils. They are widely available.
As for how to save, break off a piece of whatever money you get your hands on and put it away. Whatever you can afford to go without, break it off and put it away. While you are at it, offer to do as many small jobs for people as you can, you get more per hour doing that than anything. Mowing lawns adds up like crazy at your age, and you only need a cheap used mower.
You aren't crazy at all, you know what you want, and you are trying to come up with a way to get it. Keep this attitude in life, and nothing will be beyond your grasp. Check out online Rover clubs for more advice and help. Discoweb is a great place to meet great people if you are willing to learn.
You may have to work part time somewhere to help generate the money along with the small jobs and other things, but it will be well worth it. Trust me. That Range Rover will shortly become the most wonderful thing you could ever own. And owning one feels just as good as imagining it. Every day I get into a Rover, I smile as wide as I did when I first saw one.
You want to try and come up with several thousand dollars. 5 will get you into a decent one, 6 will start you off with lower miles. Ebay isn't the place to shop, enthusiast forums is where you need to look. Better Rovers with good owners and pretty public histories are sold cheaper there. Like I said, check out discoweb.
You are on the right track, man. You can have your Range Rover. Go ahead and consider it yours, and do what it takes to get it. You have the time to pull it off, and so far as I can tell, you have the attitude to do it as well.
If you have any Rover specific questions, I'd be glad to answer them, just contact me here. As far as I can tell, I'm the only Rover guy that hangs around answering these questions anymore. :)|||i'm 14 too, the only difference is that i'll be 15 on Tuesday and i wanted to get a mustang (well i already have it).
but my advice is to buy an old model or a crashed one.
and during you are 15 try to get new pieces and repair it
srry about the grammar I'm Italian
answer my question please !!! i need help with my MUSTANG!!
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>|||first of all kudos to you. i love the rovers too. but unfortunaltly since you will be 16 when you buy it your insurance will be huge. i know thats not what you want to hear. but i am 19 i just bought a used 2008 volvo s40. and since im young y insurance payment is huge. plus if there is a problem with your car it will be very expensive to fix.
good luck hope this helps|||um, dont even think of buying an old Land Rover, or a new one, why? they unreliable, and they are so expensive to maintain and repair. These like cars look wonderful and cheap to buy, but these cars won't last in the long run. They got too many problems, and I'd go for something else. If you want reliably Foreign cars go for BMW, or Lexus, both very good car manufacturers, but note they do cost a lot too. My advice on how to save money. Save allowances, lunch money whatever, and see how much that adds up, a lot right? Get a job too, it'll help you save a surplus of money for a down payment or the car itself, and gas maybe. In addition, try not to spend too much on the car, save some for a rainy day.|||Yes it is possible you can find Land Rover Discoverys for pretty cheap keep in mind they will run forever and can take a beating. But you might also want to think about your insurance as the other person said and service. Please do not listen to anyone who says they are not reliable, the fact is they are if you take care of them correctly... I just got a new Range Rover Sport it is my second one and I love it I also have a Defender 90 for the weekends...
