2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Buckingham Blue

TDV6 Vs SDV6 and HSE Vs SE........

Is the SDV6 worth the premium over the older TDV6? I guess 8 speed auto versus 6 speed and better fuel economy in the later engine...

What is the difference between SE and HSE? This is the SDV6 SE that I have an interest in and the dealer is very keen!

Sorry, here the SDV6 SE, its just about the cheapest 8 speed out there.

Slightly put off by, half leather, miles (44K) and SE spec. So, I guess no rear view cam, harmon karden etc...

I love it. If condition and service history stacks up this is a good price.

The other slight frustration is that it is very difficult to view that one, so I would be buying blind. The car is on the Suffolk coast, my home is north Lancashire! I have bought a couple of cars before form dealers without seeing them first, but it is not something I am comfortable doing.

I have asked for some more information like service history details and what prep work has been done, but I would like to do things like check out the tyres and brakes for myself... I hate cars where the tyres are not OEM and/or different makes. The part ex on my X5 is very very good as well!

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Cairns Blue

Get someone local to go have a look, if it's the car you want, get in another car, a train and go look. Can't understand people who are "too busy" to go look. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

You are both right of course.....but easier said than done. This one will pass me by due to the distance.

Half leather? The facings are leather, just not the full grain of the HSE.
Unless you are towing a trailer, the rear camera is not much use. The rear parking sensors work remarkably well!
Most of the extra stuff in an HSE are toys that you will not really appreciate, and at a saving of £7-8k over an HSE, I know what I'd go for (well , I did and bought an SE!)

Cheers

I've purchased a couple of second hand cars from distant Audi and LR dealers without much by the way of concern. There's a 30 day back up cooling of clause in any contract, the cars should be checked and needs to be in dealer spec condition before they release, confirm verbally this is the case before setting off to collect the vehicle and spend some time with a check sheet when there to pick up on any body or wheel blemishes that haven't been stated prior. You should be able to agree in advance that the garage should make commitment to rectify if can't do there and then

IMO, If your going to look nationally at LR network you will open up to better choice of spec and price range with the comfort of LR manufacturers Warrantee. Negotiating price & package over the phone can be much easier and less time consuming than driving from dealer to dealer, and , {tongue in cheek} at the end of the day it's just another LR,maybe yours, irrespective of where it presently resides..

Good luck in your quest

Thanks for all of your comments.

I may have found the car.... I started a new thread. By the way, does anyone carry dogs in the back of their RRS? Assume lots of room, trying to compare difference in size between an X5 and a RRS.

2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Bonatti Grey

My 4 ½ year old German Shepherd takes up a lot of the room in the boot, his ears hit the sloping roof when he sits up. He only takes a minute or so then he lays down. 2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)

I get my English Springer and Border Collie in the back with room to spare. Granted neither are big dogs and the Spaniel does just curl up at the back of the boot (he doesn't like travelling). I can even use the boot divider when we go away and need to put stuff in the boot with the dogs.

As for practicality, I can get two bulk bags full of garden waste in mine, with the seats down, for a tip trip. If you need more space than that then you're looking for a Discovery! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
