"Here's the keys...drive safe!"

My wife drove the car daily to work for eight months.

Then she had a baby.

Now she drives a Range Rover.

She says it's slower AND worse on gas.

I want a Range Rover Honey!
My wife wants a Range Rover now! Anybody know a good dealership in Riverside/Orange County area? Or should I go for low miles used?

Low mileage used is a good option. Land Rover and Jag of Anaheim Hills usually carries a decent selection. However, I prefer Desert European Imports in Rancho Mirage.

Good Luck.
