#21 of 24 RRS being pushed off the highway..... by rrsportsman Oct 21, 2009 (2:29 pm)
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) You are assuming an awful lot for very little information.   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) Perhaps you're right he was simply out of gas within 500 feet of a few gas stations. 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.
