But you don't say what you have now, so it is hard to say whether the deal sounds ok....

or what spec the range rover is - they go at very reasonable prices second hand at the moment as there is quite low demand

I've seen a few RR sports that sort of year going for £16,000, as usual depends on the condition i suppose.
I like the RR sports, i've thought about buying one myself, but as mentioned, you have to be prepared to keep shelling out even after you've bought it. They do drive lovely though, but considering what they cost new, i suppose they should do.

The trouble with buying an 06 model is i guess the warranty is out on it?, which is probably why the last owner has now sold it? :wink:

If it were me i know what id be doing mate, 23k for a soon to be 4 year old motor :shock: and lets be fair LR products are hardly known for there reliability...the spending on them never ends..Just my 2p worth.You wont be gaining anything really other than getting your moneys worth from the AA :lol:

The RR sport is quite a lot better than some of those disasters from the 90's in terms of reliability.

Personally I dislike the Jag style cockpit with the huge centre console, the 20 to 23 mpg isn't so good either. On the plus side it is a nice looking motor with an up-market image.

Prices - looks about right. Even at this stage don't forget the depreciation on the RR will still be high, in 3 years time it will be 6 years old with £400+ road tax and a high insurance group.

I too seriously thought about it when I bought my Navara. Don't discount the other choices, new Pathfinder? V10 VW Toureg of the same age?

Good man for keeping the nav :thumbright: what is the 2nd cars primary use then? thrashing about offroad??

I had the RRS HSE for 3 years in fact its just gone back! i loved it as its abilities where awesome, it would go anywhere even with road tyres on, it just wafts down motorways and it was so comfortable, as said above though, it cost me a small fortune in that time, not with reliability issues but just running the thing!!!
