      I have no personal experience with Range Rovers, so discount this as you see fit.  My brother owned a Discovery, the purchase of which he called "the biggest mistake I've ever made."  Mind you, this is a man who is divorced, failed out of college, and has a tattoo of Tigger.  Yes, the cartoon tiger from Winnie The Pooh adorns his left deltoid for the rest of his life, and the purchase of a vehicle was a bigger mistake.

      You probably, however, are more interested in the experiences of an actual secondhand Range Rover buyer, so this series of articles might be helpful.

                          HAHAHAHA and i was born and raised in singapore. no other country can beat the tax there.

                          About 150% Additional registration fee of original manufacture value. plus Certificate of Entitlement of owning a vehicle which is a bidding rate. currently that is around 50-60k depending on your engine output. and 20% duty.  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

                            And the funny thing is everyone is still driving Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and other exotics.
                            I lived in Singapore for around 5 years and was always amazed at people who had cars.  Really no need for it.

                              We pay car tax of 10-50% depending on emissions. (I'm always at 50%). Tax is calculated on top of estimated market price of the car plus sales tax 24%. Additionally we pay annual tax on using the car and $6,24 per gallon for gas.

                              My range rover supercharged is tagged around $330,000 at the local dealer.

                              Beat that 😉

                                Don’t overestimate parts reliability on Toyota Land Cruisers, Doug. I had to replace the hand brake on one of my 100 series at 315,000 miles.

                                  no definitely not much of a need. apart from that top 1%, most people use it as an ease of convenience especially when they have families. with a country that small, the public transport is what i'd say pretty decent. though for lamborghini/ ferrari's and exotic owners, when was that ever a need? hahaha.

                                  wow. i never expect car prices in most other countries to be that high, especially when you really need it to travel. though most scandanavian countries have a very good quality of life, so i'd expect even the public transport to be pretty decent.

                                  that said, not sure if it's the exact same model, but this is $511,999sgd so about 380,000usd. http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11237  😉 😉 😉
