The Mercedes slightly less so, but they hold their value forever and are still far better than anything LR has made.

One other downside with the LR is that they depreciate to nothing. It's pretty easy to find a decent condition RR or LR3 in the low teens now, and you can't hardly give away a Discovery.

My wife drives a 97 Lexus LX450 with the TRD supercharger, factory locking front and rear differential, and factory winch from a Landcruiser. It has 250,000 miles on it and runs awesome.
