Usually when we feature a Land Rover in this space, it's a classic Defender. There's a good reason for that, they're cool. Today, we're going with a more-mainstream Land Rover offering -- a 2012 Land Rover LR4.
This appears to be a clean, well-maintained daily driver that needs no work. Yes, I know, a 12-year-old Land Rover with no apparent issues seems rare, but if the seller is being truthful you might be able to snag a bargain, though the miles are kind of high.
Our seller says the timing chains and air suspension are working well and the mileage is about 175K. It's a base trim.
The asking price is $9,000 and this Los Angeles-based rig can be seen by clicking here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
- SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
- Buickman trade frequently!
- Lou_BC I guess I should pry all of the logos off my vehicle. That is a form of advertising. Anyone wearing 'branded" clothing?
- Loser Ve few people understand the importance of rotating the air in your tires every 5,000 mile. Then at 20,000 you need to remove the stale air in your tires and install fresh air.

I really like these, but can't shake the voice in my head that says, "$9000 will just be the starting point. You'll have 20 grand in this baby inside of 18 months".
I have owned a 2012 LR4 since day one and it has been the best vehicle I have ever had the pleasure of having in the garage. I know how easy it is to hate on Land Rover but this LR4 is comfortable, has a ton of storage room and is so versatile. With 110k miles, mine is now relegated to ‘other’ car use but is still the go to for off road adventures and snow runs. Nice to see one featured here - I think they are so underrated.
