Hi guy's

Just found this site & it seems really helpfull!

I have just been offered a RRS limited edition XS from my local dealers for 40k & would appreciate any feedback on the deal.

Thanks

300 Available for the UK Market

In Java Black, Stornoway Grey, Zermatt Silver or Rimini Red

Based on the TDV6 'S' with the following options:

19" Alloy Wheels
Metallic Paint
Premium Navigation System
Personal Telephone Integration (PTI)
Ebony Leather Seat Facings
(no other factory options available to order)

£39,995 On The Road (at current VED charges)

Build of these vehicles is due to commence in February 2008, so hopefully in time for the 08 March registration.

Unfortunately no pictures as yet! This information is obviously hot off the press and may possibly be subject to change. I will of course keep you posted with any public information.

Does all that add up to better value for money than just upgrading a RRS S model?

Also am I missing out on any essentials from the HSE?

I think the HSE is a better buy and will be worth more come selling time than this slightly upgraded S spec.

IMHO I would advise spending the extra for the HSE.

By buying the XS you are giving up the option to spec the car to what you want or what a future buyer would expect your RRS to have

You will be losing out on quite a few standard features that are on the HSE ie. heated seats, 20" wheels, dynamic response, climate pack etc etc and not allowed to have any other factory options ie Logic 7 stereo, sunroof, factory tints etc etc.

It's a bit too much of a compromise I think.

HSE is the way to go  TDV6 - gone

Totally agree, I think the XS is a bit of a non starter.

Ok, so you get the benefit of a new car, however for the same price you can pick up a 6-12 month old HSE with all the extras you could want.

Plus the added benefit of the hse holding its value better i expect.


Nope, I think that you should go for a used HSE. There is a lot out there for £40k, and if your concerned its not an 08 plate, just buy a private one for couple hundred pounts. lots for sale for £300 with letters like b60 RRS.

My 2 pence worth !

been a freelander 2 owner,

I do like the idea of a cheaper RRS coming out I would have loved one this time around, but,

I do think the compromising on the XS is a little much if no extras can be added and would look to purchase a used HSE if possible.

Maybe when it time to change there'll be a TDV8 in my price range, and hopefully the boss lets me upgrade the company car bracket

IMHO leave the XS alone - far better buys out there. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
