Hi I'm new to this forum. Can anyone give advice on whether I should go for a 2004 Vogue for £21k or a 2005 Sport for £25? Is there much difference? The Vogue's seem to be better value for money and there are a few out there that you get a lot for your money for around £20k. The sports seem to hold their value better.

Also is the V2.6 HSE the same as a Vogue? As you can see, don't know much about them!

Advice is appreciated.

I'd go with the sport for £25 seem like a bargain  Chawton White TDV6 HSE with Alpaca and Rodium, Automatic Climate Control,
Privacy Glass, 22 inch, Hawke Alloy Wheels, Brembo Front Brakes, Premium ICE Pack, Clear repeaters, Chrome Driving Light Surrounds, Tasmods, Chrome handles, HST Grille, Chrome Side Vents, JE ECU Upgrade

How about driving each one? I think you'll find a few differences.
If I was spending £25K on a RR, I think I'd look at this one closely.

Can you let me know why people seem to prefer the sport when the vogue seems to be so much more luxurious?

Thanks

Also the Vogue is for "older" folk.  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

That is comparing apples with oranges - what is it you want? Are you just after a Range Rover or do you have more you want from it - if that unsure you have to drive both but even the appearance is so different, list what you are looking for and how much you have to spend and you might get better feedback as to what to do or where to go....

I didn't think there were many differences, they both look very similar to me but the vogue looks more luxurious inside and has more extras.

We're after a car that's reliable, comfortable; not bothered about driving fast and how quick off the mark it is! Not too expensive to run (you'll probably say looking at the wrong car!)

Budget is 25k max. Did see a Sport with a bit of warranty left last week for that price but by the time we'd decided to go for it it went, so willing to wait for the right car.

The car we started off considering was a Freelander 2 but it doesn't have the luxury feel of the others even with the HSE. However, if a car doesn't turn up may end up getting one, although am reluctant to until I see the new model.

I'm not sure you can compare a Freelander with either RR, if you are looking for a landrover then look at the Disco before you go down the route of the Freelander. I had a Freelander as a loan car a couple of months ago and hated the ride compared to my sport.

I would also consider how long you are likely to keep the car for, I suspect the sport will hold its price longer than the Vogue version despite it having more toys for the money........and you can't get away from the fact that the Vogue is a more mature (read here....older person) car........I've just turned 40 and feel that I am still 5-10 years away from moving up to the 'full fat' version of my much loved car.

Hope this helps.

Best to drive both. engines are different Vouge will have straight 6 and is not as good as V6 RRS. Vougue will have more practical applications in terms of space and loading options, both will return mid 20's. The RRS can be take get a little time to adjust to and get comfy in whereas the FFR is much more accomadating. This age FFR will not have the terrain response fitted if you ever go off road.
May be more luxuirious inside but more frumpy on the outside. Both are great vechicles, check the history see if its main dealer try and get list of work done, tend to find a good un is a good,un and bad ones just money pits.

Be patient, spend a little time looking and you will get what you want, which really isn't a Freelander by the sounds of it

Also bear in mind this forum is far superior to the other sides

Hi I brought a 2005 Sport back in March and haven't looked back, its GREAT.

One draw back the wife loves it too.

I think the Sport wins and as you say, will have a better resale value.
