2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Another purchase question?

Hi peeps,
Just said hello in the 'intro thread'.
Looking to negotiate with dealer tomorrow (Mon) for the purchase of a 4.2s/c with 7k miles on it. Late 2008 model with great spec.
Dealer looking for £35k...................so what do those in the know think? Any room for manoevre?
Advice appreciated and hopefully confirm purchase tomorrow.
Thanks for time

Deal done.
Took two days, but worth it. Difference of £3.5k from starting point and the deal done.
Now I know that the dealer will have done well out of it, but I'm happy and pleasant people to deal with..........
all makes a difference.
So here we are.

Well done. You will have to post pics up. Was it from main dealer? Very low miles too.

Yeah, I wanted to check the details as the mileage was very low. No problem, they gave me the paperwork.
Car was leased by Taggarts (one of Arnold's many co's) to M.D. of Weir Pumps in Glasgow. Chap spends 6 months of year out of country, rest of mileage was Home-Office-Home. So Happy Chappie.
(His company has just been taken over in a mega-deal).
Will post pics when I get it next week. (Reg change)

The very one. They re-sprayed the bonnet for me as there were a couple of stone chips.....great job, not a mark on it now.
Looking forward .......

Ahhhhh. I stand corrected. Sir A. has done well for himself, a major player. I've bought a dozen cars over the years for the family and never had a problem. (Fingers crossed)

Arnie has done very well as he left the RAF as aircrew after national service and started out as a car mechanic and is now owns the UK's largest family owned car dealership in private hands. I believe there is only one cars sales franchise he doesn't have - Rolls Royce. I live in the next village to him and I've never purchased a car from any part of his vast empire. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
