Seems very expensive, but exclusivity comes at a price.. im sure not a lot of people will buy them.. but if the residual value is that low even after paying all that tax, its a big hit. Wil you keep the car for a long time and run it into the ground or shift it after a couple of years? have you got any LR dealers there who can fix the gremlins if it goes wrong?

YOu're getting 2005 cars, are they pre owned then or what? wouldn't be surprised if mine was actually headed onto a container on its way to malaysia right now then if thats the case!

In Pakistan, you can personally import cars, i had the idea of taking the sport badge off the back of the RRS, and buying a cheap BV03 LHX (example) plate and exporting it into pakistan as a 2003 Range Rover Diesel, and hence getting a much lower hit on the import tax, as the tax goes down relative to age of the car and book price, as the RR full fat has been around a while now, it would pass off as one, to the Mr. Dumb ass government official over in Pakistan who looked over the car.. amazing what a snidey £100 would get you as well over there! still an idea.. and one a friend of ours was considering doing, but didn't have the minerals in the end to risk it..
He paid £60K for a UK Merc E320 instead! and is now paying equivalent of £70k to get an X5 diesel over there RHD from Germany..

It does actually say May 2005 on the engine bay though, so would also have to get that off before trying this.. or alternatively you could just drive it over and take it off road to avoid the border gates!! but trouble is then you would have an illegal car, so you would have to clone it up to another RRS over there, but if you bought one properly, and cloned the other.. 2 for the price of 1.5?

Why not import a 2nd hand RRS! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

could you not approach that grey importer and say.. if i get you a batch of used RRS' from England, could you get them in.. and i will take one off you're hands after paying you're fees obviously?

im sure you could sell a batch of them off.. and make a bit of money for your effort too!

i wouldn't mind sourcing a few used ones for u from here.. they seem to be getting rather popular in the motherland.. saw 8 today!!

Bobby - are you thinking about pulling out of buying your long awaited RRS? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Guys, its not that easy. Please remember that the LR brand is the least popular 4x4 in this country. Its name is synonymous with problems and poor resale value (sorry guys, but thats the truth).

Just imagine - LR is not represented in our largest state where, incidently, you'll find the largest concentration of 4x4s!! Practically every house has a 4x4 parked in the driveway - and there is no Land Rover agent!!!

So this brings us to the question of independant dealers buying new/second-hand vehicles in the UK and importing them into this country. Why would that dealer do that if in the time he takes to sell 1 RR he could sell 10 or more Toyotas?

Another consideration - 'grey' imports will not be recognised by the local LR dealer and there will not be any warranty. All of you out there who are die-hard LR users, surely you understand the importance of warranty?? OK. The local dealer says they will honour the warranty if the owner pays them between 10,000 to 20,000 GBP to 'legalise' the vehicle. Then again, warranty will commence from the date of original purchase/registration in the UK. So if I manage to squeeze in a 1 year old car here today, I will only be entitled to the remaining period of warranty. And I pay full price!!

The car that I have ordered and which is in our ports today is a 2005 build. I checked the VIN. But I have to pay new price + exorbitant tax on new car + dealer profit etc etc.

The MD of the local dealer is in the UK now. Something regarding the launch of the new Freelander. He has told me to wait for his return when he will try to sharpen his pencils (don't read this wrongly, VA) and offer me a better price. So I will wait to talk with him again before I decide whether to break my long association with LR or .... Malaysia Boleh!

Bobby,
I’m wondering what will be the new prices for 2007 LR models
In our country the Japanese or number one sales cars, past two years LR did a good success with intrusting RRS and LR3 but still Nissan and Land Cruiser and of-course Lexus took the lead

We have difficulty thinking of 2007... still to solve the 2005 issues.

Yes, its the same here. Japanese are tops, X5s done quite well too. Of course the Koreans are around in quite a number.

Can't say anything about the LRs though... been missing the past year. The base LR3 will be going at around 90,000 GBP. so take a guess!  Malaysia Boleh!

Thanks VA.

I think I've waited long enough. Now that the RRS is finally here I have to decide.
I'm afraid if I wait any longer, I will lose my zest to drive!!  Malaysia Boleh!

Bobby you say 2005 ?

My car ( sept 2005 ) is classed as a 2006 model year by LR as I understand all of them are ...???

Bobby if you buy anything else - you will only live to regret it & be bitterly disappointed -

RRS is the best 4 x4 x FAR

All the best

My god, Bobby... you have been through the mill with this haven't you. Let's hope your local dealer can work some magic with the numbers, but it does look like you're going to be stung by a very high price if you do go ahead with it.

As usual, keep us posted and we'll be wondering about you!
