2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged
Maintenance 2014/15 AMG

Hey Guys

I am wondering if you can shed light on the maintenance schedule and dollars associated with owning this beast. My 2012 RR Sport Supercharged will be up next year and now that these are 4matic I am strongly considering one. With the RR the maintenance is not cheap... i.e.. $1600 for brakes, 50,000 KM service was $1700, windshield was $1650 and I am looking to not get into a car that cost anymore then this to maintain. I will go and visit the dealership soon but hoping to gain some insight from owners and maybe a few of you from the Canadian market.

Cheers

Hello! Welcome, Where ya from? Servicing any luxury car is not cheap. That being said, brakes are hella expensive on an E63, like around 5 grand. Theres definitely a price to pay to drive one of the best cars on the road. Don't let the maintenance scare you, buy the car youll love it, that's why you work hard, so you can do what you want with your money. When you're dead you wont care about how much your brake job was. Live your life!

Hey I am from Edmonton! Are you referring to the regular brakes on the E63 or a Carbon Ceramic? I agree with you all luxury cars are not cheap and it is part of the deal but $5000??

Thanks for your reply

Whoa. 5k. How much is a break job on the C63? I'm still hoping to purchase one soon.

Considering I put about 5k miles annually that's not to bad. Should be awhile.

Well that is more money then I thought for sure! On average how many mile before brakes are needed? I know it depends on how you drive... Any other major expenses inside the warranty period? What about negotiating the services in from the dealer? Anyone successful in this matter? I had a buddy just purchase a new Panamera GTS and he was able to get all maintenance covered...

Thanks!
