Replying to: triathlonx (Sep 13, 2006 8:27 pm) Every so often I get the LR bug. My Cayenne is OK but I caught a superficial glance at a RRS-S on Thanksgiving evening. The exterior looked good, the interior is much better than the Porsche's, and with the blower it must go like a bat out of hell. (As an important side note, I'm not sure though how well the 20' tires are going to do in the wet or even if winter tires, e.g., Blizzaks, are available in this size. This may mean that these things are mere boulevard cruisers, poseurs, really, rather than all-weather, go in to the office early, machines.) Then I read this forum. Gee, I wish I just had the interest on that portion of the 75K acquisition cost that an individual RRS-S owner doesn't get the benefit from while his car is out of service. Lets assume that a RRS is out of service for 20 days a year. Now compute 5% of 75K for those 20 days, just like Merrill would do for a overnight sweep of uninvested funds....

One of those two has had no problems since the second month of ownership. My GM is actually talking to the owner of that Sport right now as he is buying a 2007 RRS/SC next month as well. The second one has had some minor issues over the past year but only two really serious problems. They both took a while to repair but it was more a problem of parts avaliablity for a low production new model then anything else. |

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 25, 2006 12:17 pm) Just scroll down till you find the Land Rover sales CYTD sales are up 8.2 percent for Land Rover and I know at one time we were the only SUV brand that had positive sales growth for the year. I am not sure if that is still true. Sport sales were up 26.7% last month and LR3 sales were up 27.6%. Range Rover sales were down a bit -17.4% for the month but I expected that as everyone knows the 2007 MY Range is getting a redesigned interior. |

You are not going to believe it but Saturday will make 7 weeks in the shop trying to determine why some of the warning lights are staying on. My wife and I are growing very impatient. My comprehensive coverage will take care of the costs involved to fix the damage, but I will have soon made two payments on a vehicle that we haven't seen in two months. What's the longest someone has had a vehicle in the shop while the service department "diagnoses the problem"? I can understand body work and painting taking this long, but this is silly. I think if this was a warranty issue, it would have been fixed weeks ago. I should have realized when the service department was hoping the insurance would total the vehicle instead of having them fix it that I was in for an extended service visit. I called them a minute ago and now the parking brake light won't go off and supposedly there are two technicians working on the problem. I asked the dude on the phone what's the worst that can happen. He said that they will have to trace every single wire to find out if it's being grounded somewhere and that could take a while, maybe another week or so. My wife seems to think legal action is in order but I tried to tell her that they have us by the short'n'curlies because it's not a warranty issue. Anyone with any similar situations.
