Replying to: roverdude (Aug 31, 2009 6:01 am) I do stand corrected 07's LR Sports come in at 32,400 ish.! $1,500K ontop of that is a very reasonable price point for this one, especially with the stated mileage! Good call and sorry for the misinformation. I will standby my advise related to markup usually related to retail price of used at LR dealerships! This one seems to be a fair price! |

Replying to: dedoman (Aug 31, 2009 2:59 am) 2006 Range Rover HSE sport Loaded including DVD (head rests) 35K miles WARRANTY up to 60 month or 60K miles whichever happens first (including Factory warranty). Maintenance will be 50$ out of pocket (anything under warranty) or 75$ out of pocket if the RR gets maintained by RR dealership. Car color Buckingham Blue and Tan or Charcole gray and Tan It is extremely hard to decide. I heard many people saying that the RR has so many electrical problems. We currently have a six year old Nissan Quest with 35K on it. Excellent condition and assembeled in Japan (not in mississipi NIssan US plant). So far not one problem. I just maintain the car regularly (oil + filters + brakes). My wife and I are so hesitant to make this decision at this point. The RR is beautiful SUV and has its own wow factor. The car will be driven occasionally and not on Highways. the occasionally part is local trips (100 or 200 Miles far). Any thoughts or feedback would really help us. If you can give me a reality check on the electrical problems that would be great. |

great thread as I too am looking at used 06-07 RRS HSE with low miles.I am not finding many(any) in the price ranges quoted here.Most are 07 with 27kmiles for 3995 (no CPO),07 28k miles for 46995.There are some 06 around under 40 (06 w 18k for $37999). I called the one RR dealer here in NH ( higher prices) and he explained,correctly,that most 06's are out of the 4yr warreny period.The 07 will have some and adding CPO was $2k !he was also reccomending a after market warranty that they-the dealer will take,  3300 for 2 yr 24k miles. Where are you finding these mid 30's RRS 07's that are CPO'd? Have a Lexus RX 350 now and a bit spoiled by the reliabilty and wonder if i should go back to Lexus (GX or LX) instead,like the look of the RRS thou.

Want to buy a '06 but shockingly saw a RRS being pushed off the on ramp to Rte 17 near Ikea. Minor problems are one thing, total paralysis for a $60k, 3 -4 year old vehicle is ridiculous. Was this highly unusual or is the old Jaguar virus back with RSS. (You need to buy two in case one isn't working).

Replying to: rrsportsman (Oct 21, 2009 2:29 pm) First off a RRS weighs nearly 6,000 lbs. I haven't ever pushed a RRS but I have pushed a LR3 that ran out of gas and I can tell you that two strong 200 plus lbs guys can barely move one at all. We pushed it about 30 feet off to the side of the road and were totally exhausted. You couldn't push a RRS along any significant length of flat road without several people pushing. A slight down slope would help of course but would still be exhausting. The sport could have run out of gas for all you know. There is no way to tell what happened to that car. Also keep in mind the Sport has been out over four years now and there are plenty of them out there with over 100,000 miles. Any car with over 100,000 miles can have breakdowns that are unanticipated and catastrophic. Still a little unusual for one to be broken down. The 2006 Sports had some problems but were mostly early build quality issues that were fixed within the first year under warranty. I would rather pick up a 2007 over a 2006 if pricing on the 2007 was similar even if the 2007 had more miles. The 2007 got some nicer interior trim pieces and the fit and finish was better. There were some software improvements for the engine and transmission as well that may or may not be fully backwards compatible on a 2006. I like the 2007 wheels better too. Either way you have to get one certified as buying a car with that much technology with no warranty is a bad idea.

Replying to: british_rover (Oct 22, 2009 7:33 am) I was driving and was startled at such a site in this affluent community, but he was definitely trying to push it as no one could pass him to try to merge on to the highway.If you read the RRS posts on edmunds for 2006 you start to suspect there's other issues. Thanks I'll take your recommendation. |
