TIL you can spend a quarter million on a Range Rover. Seems crazy amount of money for an English Jeep, if you ask me.

People don't just drive Range Rovers like entitled assholes.

Range Rovers are status symbols because they are expensive.

They stopped being "english jeeps" at least a decade or so ago. These days the Range Rover aims hard at the high luxury SUV market, one stop down from ultra-luxury SUVs like Bentley and Rolls.

I never realized they were any different form your typical SUV, lol. I would've guessed they were $30k before looking it up. Crazy that cars have such variance...

  You barely can buy any car for 30k let alone something large or luxurious

    Really? My Crosstrek was that price and seems perfectly fine, and a huge upgrade from a Civic or whatever. It's got fancy-to-me things like power windows, heated seats, and Bluetooth, lol. Meanwhile my partner's car doesn't even have air conditioning or a working door remote. What kind of luxury do you get for an additional $200k? I can't imagine anything in a car that I'd want to spend that much money on. I keep thinking it might be nice to get an electric or plug in hybrid at some point, but even then I wouldn't want to spend more than $40-$50k.

      > I can't imagine anything in a car that I'd want to spend that much money on. Sounds like you have either imagination or money problem. Or both, lol.

        Money, definitely lol. But even if had a million dollars, I wouldn't want to spend a quarter of it on a car. Now, a bicycle...? Maybe :p

They have so many issues with theft in the UK, which in turn pushes up insurance rates/reduces the pool of insurers that Jaguar Landrover have started offering an insurance product https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/jlr-takes-action-to-stem-range-rover-thefts https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/jlr-takes-action-to-stem-ra...
