Chesterfield Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yay - another one of the fold that will look like a drug dealer in their daily hack. Expect to not be let out at junctions. On the plus side, you normally win the single lane of traffic jousts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 If Carlsberg made Saturdays.... So after a 3.30am start and a great day out at Japfest, i had an appointment to go and view a Range Rover Sport in the midlands on my way home. 45mins later i had agreed to buy it and paid a deposit I'll be picking it up one night in the week... very excited! ...and then whilst driving home i saw that City lost the cup final. GET IN :lol: Here's some pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks fellas, im really pleased with what i've seen of it, and as you say Taddy, it does appear to be a bit of a bargain. Nice one, yesterday i couldn't tell if you were more excited about going out on track or heading off to see the new purchase. Enjoy. To be honest i wasnt in the mood for going to Japfest once i'd seen the weather, but i absolutely loved it and im glad i did. It was great to see everyone again. Then similarly i thought about not bothering with the track session but im glad i did as it was absolutely great - most i've ever enjoyed a track session.... so after that i was thinking.... 'what do i need an RRS for, maybe i'll not bother going to see it'.... but i did and... im glad i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Looks mint for a 2005. Anything other than black makes the range sport look weak Was the zed traded in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope... the Zed's going nowhere!!!! Im never selling it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 adverts been pulled now - but saw it earlier.................in excess of 100K mileage though ?? - i can't remember whether it was a derv or petrol though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 adverts been pulled now - but saw it earlier.................in excess of 100K mileage though ?? - i can't remember whether it was a derv or petrol though ? Yeh 108k miles, Diesel. Im not overly concerned by the mileage... i'll be doing about 8-10k a year in it so i should get at least 2 or 3 more years before it starts losing major money due to the mileage. There are loads for sale with 140k plus so i dont believe there are any questions about longevity. Also the rate of depreciation with these is scary, so buying right at the bottom of the market should limit my exposure to that. I honestly think this guy has under-priced this car... he paid £19k for it in Nov 2011 with 85k on the clock and im giving him £13.5k. It's got a full landrover service history and compared to others i've been looking at i think this car could be worth up to £15k. The tell tale is that the guy said it had only been for sale for 1 day when i got in touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1 HNK Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Get a warranty Chris. My cousin has just sent his back after he bought it used from guy salmon. Owned it 10 months, in the dealer for repairs 6 months (I'm not making this up) total bills came to £12k luckily it was under warranty. He had enough and they have him a refund. I know they have serious problems so get it covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking into the AA breakdown warranty which is only £71 a year, and they give you 5x £500 claims per year. But you only have access to this if you have called them out for a breakdown or for homestart. I need to do some reading to see if it's any good.

marzman Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just picked the Range up tonight... what a car! Even for the 2.7 diesel it feels pretty rapid. Plenty of power yet a near silent drive from within the cabin. I got 29mpg on the way home too. Lots of extras on it... voice control sat-nav is a nice touch, and it's even got a fridge! It's really easy to drive too and incredibly comfortable. I'll see if i can take some pics tomorrow. I now own my 2 of my 3 all time dream cars (Zed and RRS) ... the only other car i've had on my dream list is an F40, but i don't think i'll be getting one of those any time soon.
