Welcome

Have a look at (think) @gstuart buyer guide it’s here somewhere.
Personally (thats me) I would not go near a V6 in the JLR flavour. Too many unexpected engine failures.
Now that isn’t to say they all break cranks, and many have put many reliable miles on them.
We own 3 LRs so I am by no means saying they are not a car to own. But they can be high maintenance.
