Range Rover Questions

["Illegitimus Non Carborundum, MSO2-3/G1, 223-5287" <kozik@powdml.ENET.dec.com>]

        A couple of week ago a close friend purchased a 1991
    Range Rover.  I have not seen it as of yet, but his purchase
    prompts me to wonder about the following:
        - How reliable is a Range Rover?
        - Can he expect to go 500,000 miles if he takes care of it?
        - Will it nickel & dime him to death?
        - Can he buy parts in the after market, or will he have to
    stick with the dealer?
        - Given easy use, what can he expect?
        - Does it have safety features, such as steel beams in the
    doors, that will protect he and his young family in the event
    of a crash?

        Any comments on these or other points would be very much
    appreciated!
