Should I still buy it? (SC V8 vs XC90) | |
Hi all
I am in a bit of a difficulty in making a decision. Basically I can buy:
1) rr sport scv8 autobiography dynamic 2014
Or
2) volvo xc90 brand new with 3 year warranty, 3 year service and have £6500 to spare
Big concern with LR is reliability having owned 2 Discoverys in the past (3 and 4). I have owned volvos in the past and like their safety and features.
Before anyone says anything, I know the RR is hands down a more luxurious car and that the engine is a gem.
I am not comparig them in terms of cars as much as I am in terms of the deal.
I am very concerned having heard horror stories on depreciation, thst "car will drop £1-2k a month, etc"
I know about fuel economy and it doesnt bother me as much as depreciation.
Volvos are not brilliant either but it is brand new... One car is about £49k the other £55.5k
Thanks for your help and pls let me know ur views

Well this is an interesting choice, a 4WD vs a Soft roader. If you are going for the soft roader then there are a lot better choices than the Volvo IMO.
V8 or V6 Diesel Touareg , SQ5 Audi . Macan , Q7 perhaps , all these are cheaper new than the RRS. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.
