the Jag 3.0v6 is as sweet as they come.

It's a Citroen sourced engine as it happens...

Lion V6 GenIII made at Ford's Dagenham plant.

It's a Ford engine that is also used by Citroen and Peugeot as well as JLR. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Have a 59 plate MY 10 & sorry only 6 speed auto !

When I enquired about buying my leased car they were talking about £29k for 62k mile 3.0 HSE registered end Feb 2010 with rear screen DVD.

Needs all the rubbers doing as bangs a lot over bumps etc & but apart from that straight car with full LR service history for what its worth. Paul

The "Lion" V6 was / is a joint Ford and Peugeot venture. The Lion being Peugeot's Logo. Its a brilliant engine, very smooth power delivery in 2.7 form. The old BMW 3.0D in the FFRR L322 was horrible by comparison.

Just to give you an idea on my RRS from leasing company

Re: XX59UBW - LR RANGE ROVER SPORT DIESEL ESTATE 3.0 TDV6 HSE 5dr CommandShift
Based on a mileage of - 62,000

Further to your request for a purchase price on the above vehicle, I confirm that the price will be £27,950.00. Also payable is £316.00 Road Fund Licence. This price is valid for 30 days from the above date.

plenty decent 10MY cars for well under 30k, saw one today for 23k cap clean , I was soooo tempted but with 5 cars mrs pea wouldn't be best please.

Its no contest IMO the later car is a much better vehicle, IF you have the cash id go for the later model. Having said that i guess the older models will depreciate less with the 2014 RRS imminent.

Thanks everyone

very helpful advice

When I moved into the 3L 8 speed 61 plate (MY12?) my initial view was it had become the car it should have been on launch (I'd had a 55 and a 58 plate prior).
