Looking for another RRS and seen a couple online at British Car Auctions. Would have to bid and buy online without viewing.Cars ive seen are around 2 years old so covered with LR warranty. Anybody on here done this before? MY 09TDV8

It might be covered with a L/R warranty, but if it hasn't got its service history upto date then L/R take a very dim view on any warranty claims related to mechanical items. Personally i would never buy a vehicle that i haven't seen in the flesh, especially from an auction. Ask yourself the question, why is a two year old RRS in an auction and not on a L/R's foercourt Unless its a repossession. I'm sure there are some genuine RRS go through the auction, just try and do your homework on it first.

Agreed - do homework and assume nothing

Check not imported and condition - I once bought a 6 month old D2 ES from LR and had to reject it due to being absolutely trashed as if had been holiday hire car

I've also travelled 100's of miles to view approved used LR that were in terrible condition so be careful buying at auction - age is no guarantee  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Agree with Ady & Muddy - 2 year old will cost over £35k at the very least - that's a lot of dosh to splash out without viewing or at least some kind of comprehensive report.

Good luck  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Nobodys keen then Worth an ask though. Was talking to a buyer for BMW at the weekend and a lot of main dealer cars come through auction. When you see a car at a main dealer and the last owners address is quite a distance away chances are its come from there anyway. Would only buy with FSH anyway. MY 09TDV8

I bought my 1st RRS without seeing it but it was from LR and 6 months old. There were a couple of things that needed attention and they sorted it though they were 110 miles away.

Wouldn't do it on auction car without ticking boxes and assurances - it saving is worth it why not view first and bid from the car park ?

I know a lad with a forecourt and he once told me that if anything is not exactly as listed then you have the ability to return / pull out

from my experience of auctions, the best bid is not exactly the best price you can get. it's a competitive event and many bidders want to win at any cost. i attended several auctions with the aim to buy a sport, and each one went for a premium compared to what I thought it was worth. in the end i went to a dealer, had a price in mind and tried my luck at haggling for 1) lower price and 2) better warranty. it worked ! Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
DONE: Meduza front bumper, AB rear bumper, AB tailpipes, calipers repainted, rear upper tailgate upgrade, side steps, AB front grille, AB side vents, rear LED lights, clear side repeaters, integrated daytime running lights, LED headlights.
TO DO: color code sills and pillars.

When we bought our 10 plate TDV8 a couple of years ago, I noticed that a lot of Land a rover dealers had cars with similar indexes for sale. Our dealer told us that LR had disposed of their TDV8 fleet through the auction network which were subsequently all bought up by the dealers.

I don't know if this was a 'closed' auction or not.

yep many auctions through BCA are private, the good ones get snapped up by land rover dealers:

Been told its surprising how many cars go on main dealer forecourts for a premium price that have come through auction. Keep my options open and carry on looking. Better find one soon though, er indoors thinks we should buy an X6 Why the would I want one of them. MY 09TDV8

agreed, X6 is just so g@y  Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

Oi you lot.....

Mrs Hirst is obviously a very discerning lady who appreciates men with good taste in motor vehicles.

I agree, not everyone likes the X6 but, have you seen the bum end on the new RRS? However, Mrs Hirst and I share similar tastes, perhaps you should listen to her advice David?  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Looking like its a main dealer or private sale then. Just need to find a good LR main dealer now. And I still don't want an X6  MY 09TDV8

David, didn't you go and have a look at the 5.0L A/B at the weekend?
