2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Buckingham Blue

Welcome mate

I paid £300 for my first service, get around 25mpg if i'm being good on a long run around 21mpg round town ( yes i know when i do drive her that is) think i get about 300miles from a tank

It all depends on what you want to spend on wheels and tyres?? A lot of people have the LR SC 20"s

Or if you want to go the full hog Overfinch 22"s witch are around 6k i think

Hi Steve and welcome

You dont need to be a lottery winner to own and run an RRS, but deep pockets does help

As for wheels and tyres, its all down to personal choice really i run 20"Stormers with 295's and i love the look of them but there are some on here that run 22's, it also depends on what you want to use your motor for, ie off roading or just road use

As for the price it sounds about right

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

Steve, the RRS TDv6 was the lowest cost car I ever had. Only lost £3,500 in depreciation after 14 months and 22,000 miles. When buying second hand, I would make sure you get a full history on the vehicle (your dealer will be able to print off the vehicle's life story of warranty claims, servicing etc). If the vehicle has had more than a couple of issues, I'd walk away and look for a good-un. RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Hi Steve, I have only had my TDV6 Java for about 6 weeks now and its awesome. I have added a few mods of my own but to be honest the previous owner had allready done a lot, the biggest expense for me was a set of 20" Stormers which ENVOY sorted out for me, and they finished the car off. I recommend these!

As far as expense goes, I was running an M3 before this and apart from saving on insurance I am getting a lot more mpg, (avge 23 around town). So thats not bad at all.
