2nd hand buyer experience sought

Morning folks

AM looking at buying a 2nd hand RRS and was thinking of the below


https://www.vcars.co.uk/used-cars/cardetai...p;u=129004

Ive never ever bought a 2nd hand car always new so am completely lost at what to look for, ask etc

Any advice? Looks like the mileage is fairly high on this?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Ed

Welcome to the forum Thumbs Up

That's a lot of RRS for that money - its about £5k cheaper than main dealer prices for that spec & mileage.

I would not dismiss it on mileage alone - if it has been serviced & loved you may be getting a bargain - A WARRANTY IS A MUST - consumable items ( suspension components Rolling with laughter ) will need replacing sooner rather than later Big Cry
The alloys on that Sport can be refurbed but will never look the same - check under the rear for the spare wheel - these usually get nicked Big Cry
Landrover do a warranty that allows a pre inspection by main dealer before it is authorised - this gives a true picture of the condition of the RRS. There is a cost involved no doubt & the top warranty is approx £1075 per annum - if you buy approved used direct from Landrover this comes with the purchase for 2 years.

The money you have saved will soon be eaten into if you bring the purchase level to main dealer services - hope the above makes sense Thumbs Up

Good luck - your in the right place for advice Thumbs Up 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Cheers Peachy.

I might look at buying it from a main dealer then. That 2 year warranty looks good.

TBH - thats a good question - labour rates & part prices are high on these motors - if that was the route you decided to take - I would do a comprehensive check on whats covered & the max value of each claim - I've had £2k worth of work done since March - luckily it was covered Whistle 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
