Welcome to the forum

Alloys look like they are replicas & therefore by nature "inferior" check on the log book to see if its a Factory issued HST.

Unfortunately the bonnet badge - lettering is a big No No for me

Keep your head up & please don't get disheartened by my comments - there is literally 1000's of hours of knowledge invested in this forum & we are all here to help not hinder

Good luck with your search & purchase  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Howdy!

I prefer factory cars to ones that have been adjusted like this, but that's just my preference. What's the "Maranello" badging? Not keen at all and I don't like the wheels or the chrome mods personally.

Apparently you need to make sure these say "HST" on the V5 as many get badged as such but are a lesser models underneath, meaning lower value. As it is the price seems a bit high to me but no doubt there's wiggle room. I can't help thinking a better deal would be to get a TDV8 HSE (if necessary) and then choose the wheels etc you want yourself.

A 3 month warranty would not be for the faint hearted on a car that age methinks. And don't forget to have them clean the fridge if you buy it!  L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Thanks for your replies. The bonnet lettering would definitely be going

That's massive money for a 2008. Buy something less tricked up and newer. This car wil depreciate like a falling brick. It's also hideous in my personal view. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

24k?
17k more likely

I knew it was overpriced but I just assumed it because it was trade not private. I need trade as I'll be financing it. Think I'll look at other alternatives like the X5 and Q7.
Thanks for your replies

Don't get dis-heartened - test drive all 3 then make a decision - I travelled over 180 mile round trip just too view my second Sport - even then I had reservations but it was worth it in the end - if you see any you fancy post the link you may not like the feedback BUT it's your cash if YOU like it - that's what matters

I personally never look twice at a BMW or AUDI but then again I've never drove either - don't want too

Good luck - take your time  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
