[Taking a chance?]

I'm considering a new Defender.  I've been watching spewtube videos and reading articles on JLR general reliability.  Some ugly stories out there.  My nearest dealer for purchase, service and warranty issues is 100 miles away.  I have wrenched all my life but electronics diagnosis is not my forte.  Given that, if you were in my boots would you buy a new Defender?

Hey there. We are 168 miles from our dealership. Same for our BMW. With services being every 15k, it’s not a problem. We were concerned but our dealer offers a “valet service” where they bring me a loaner and take my car for service and return when done. BMW does this with no charge, and Rover charges $200. With 320 miles round trip and usually unfavorable driving conditions up and over the Rockies, it is well worth it!

[Any new owners state side?]
