Australia 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Before you buy, check the service history. If its patchy, run away. I would also get an indy to give it the once over.

There is plenty that can go wrong and many that never go wrong. Save some money for possible repairs. Find a good indy for your maintenance requirements. The ride might be hard on those wheels.

Use search function here and spend a few days reading.

I hope its good to you. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

I new when I took it on the ££££ but I can live with it for how nice it looks
Only thing is the wheels as when I test drove the car it felt as if I was going to lose it going round a round about so I think they will be going straight away
Saw the car last Tuesday
Test drove on Wednesday
Bought it on Wednesday

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Bonatti Grey

Had my RRS SC since february, wife has drove it once and I have not let her touch it again. She drives a Ford KA ffs Rolling with laughter

My only advice is go into this with your eyes wide open, they are expensive cars to run and maintain but the grin factor every time you drive can not be beaten.

Get the best warranty that you can afford.

Most of all, enjoy it ! 2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)

Scotland 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 SE Santorini Black

Good stuff!

That car was sold by a neighbour of mine, usually deals in top end stuff and is very selective in what he buys, so should be a good un!

IMHO, wheels do nothing for it, so yes, change to a set of standard 20s and it will look and probably handle better with decent rubber Thumbs Up

(Pics taken just along the road from me)

I'd second the above..............I was one of the unfortunate ones with my '07 tdV8. It was an absolute pig of thing. Had it for over 2 years and everything that could go wrong with it went wrong with it. I'm not even going to list the parts that were replaced and the money that was spent keeping it on the road but if I did it wouldn't be far off what the car was worth when I finally got shot of it at the start of this week.

I hope yours is good to you. Love the colour buy the way. Best of luck.
