A passer-by said: ‘It looks really realistic until you actually read what the words say. Then it’s obvious someone has put it there to have a dig at the dealership. It’s a brilliant idea.’

Mark Foster of Jaguar Land Rover said: ‘Land Rover operates a comprehensive warranty programme and a strong goodwill policy.

'All necessary repairs to this vehicle over 42,000 miles have been carried out under warranty.

'However, we are disappointed this customer’s experience has been unfortunate and as such we have made a goodwill offer towards helping him into a new vehicle.’

Compared to dealers who put vinyl lettering advertising the car to sell the car.

:facepalm: facepalm for you.

Maybe they don't do that in Vancouver, but they do it here and I would guess in Britain too.

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

Probably not for free and definitely doesn't help if service is miserable already.

Some people expect the best when you throw down big $$$ for luxury brand and in the end, it's breaks just like a $20 toaster.

Did he honestly expect anything different? It's well known in the automotive world that Range Rovers are the most unreliable heaviest depreciating vehicles out there. You don't buy a Range for it's reliability, you buy it for it's status and character.
