hi all

seen a few RRS's for sale on autotrader, most are at dealers, looking for 2007 HSE, with low miles, 20,000 or less, in black, privacy glass, side steps, 20" wheels, wanted to spend about 30k, is this a realistic figure, coz i have found a few that match the spec i want but they are asking for 33k but are willing to come down on price by £500, wot do you guys think?

cheers

If your willing to pay £30k then stick with it

was hoping to get this one but the dealer doesnt want to come down on price by much, my friend recently got an audi rs4 and got a 10% discount, tried it with this dealer and he didnt wanna know

just before christmas the prices seemed to have fell by about 4 or 5grand but now theyve gone back up in price-i paid 33k for my 08 and now the same spec car seems to be about 37k... RRS-2.7hse overfinch engine upgrade-java black-ivory leather-22"overfinch supersports-hst bodykit-colour coded handles-side steps-09 clear rear lights and indicators-chrome wing mirrors-piano black interior and ivory overfich speedo dials.

dont these people realise that there is a recession going on and prices should be going down not up!!! maybe the next budget will bring prices down again, lol.

So many new buyers came to the sector when RRS prices tumbled - opened the car up to a whole new market - and then demand for cars increased, thus pushing up prices as cars were in short supply........simple really.....cars are making over book now.

Nice car by the way Mark - is the interior Hawke supplied? What about the red brake calipers? Do you mind if I ask how much the wood and steering wheel and calipers cost?

By the way, the Toyos on your car are great - I have the same tyres, and I'm nearly at 24,000 miles in them and still have 6mm in them.....great

i paid £31k for a 57 plate with 15k, tdv8 HSE, excellent condition, from a dealer, with 6m tax and a tank of fuel, this was in January. I probably could have saved more but I really couldnt be arsed to keep looking!

I still have a little giggle at the thought of getting an nearly new TDV8 HST from a main dealer for only £40k just before Xmas!

A mate visited the loacal car auctions last week and older HSE models were fetching high £30k's FFS.

I'm sure prices will tumble again once the new model comes out but my car is a long term keeper so who cares.


Daz 2017 4.4 Autobiography FFRR - love this car
Gone - VW T5 Transporter
Long gone - 2009 Disco
Long gone but never out of my thoughts - 2008 TDV8 HST

I think that the fact that fewer new cars are coming off the production line should help stabilise prices of good second hand RR's. My view is that prices tumbled as a result of rising fuel prices, followed by credit crunch and then by recession. I paid £42k for my 57 plate TDV8 with 10k miles about a year ago. Whilst I've probably had 20-25% depreciation in a year, hopefully the rate of depreciation will be much lower over the next 2-3 years.

Guess that was the best time to buy, lucky to get a TDV6 for that price now.

going off topic for a sec now, wot do you guys think of this offer -

am i right in thinking that this thing lets you lower your car but still lets you drive it at motorway speeds?

It's quite safe, but does hamper any offroad capability.... not really a lot of point in it to be honest...
