Well looking to buy our first RRS, been asking on a few sites and been directed to this one.

Got at max 30k to spend and looking at a diesel model, been looking at some autobiography models but not sure if they are actually worth the extra cash and do you get any with just plain black leather seats as the ones ive come across are all black and red or black and cream?

So basically is there anything i should look out for when viewing a RRS, would prob be a 2009-2010 age range

And if you has 30k what would you buy??

Thanks in advance!

Hi Taylor

Before you buy and spend 30k, wait for a month and have a good look around this site. There is years of ownership experience on here and if you do a search, you may even find a buyer's guide.

Don't be in a hurry to spend that 30k, there will be plenty of cars out there for you. Don't drive and buy the first one you see, do your research and buy from a reputable place, even if its doon sooth!

Yes i deffo wont be rushing in and spending it all on the first one i see, Will be a month or so until i have all the cash inplace anyway, so was just looking to get some advice on what to look out for etc before i even start looking, Myself and the wife have had a test drive of various 4x4's last month to decide which one we liked and the RRs come out as our fav.

As BKHK says take your time 30k can get you a lovely one but can also buy you trouble, but as I always say most of all " make sure you get one ! "

^^ I dont want trouble thats for sure!

I looked for five months to get exactly what I wanted and I am really happy with my RRS. I am a bit of a gadget man and to have factory built in TV, DVD, heated steering wheel, sunroof etc. etc. in a very tidy car with service history and the all essential warranty ticked all my boxes, except the bank account box

yeah id be looking for the factory built in TV, DVD too, wont be rushing into buying one thats for sure and will have to have a black leather interior not keen on the other colours myself

We also only wanted black leather and black interior trim. It's good to contact several LR dealers if that is who you plan to buy from and contact them every week or two as they usually have cars coming and going all the time but they didn't seem that good at telling us what they had coming in. I got to view mine before it had been cleaned up which is also useful information, to see if it is full of c*@p or kept clean by previous owner.

Yeah i have contacted a few places already who are keeping an eye

Got one yet ?
