Hi all,

I have owned my new Range Rover sport for 2 weeks almost.

I bought this from the main dealer, and the price I paid was based on the fact it only had one previous owner.

The V5 comes through and I note two previous owners. This annoys me as the car is worth less than I thought.

I emailed the dealer tonight so will see what they say tomorrow!

What would you all do? According to WBAC and Autotrader the additional owner makes the car worth approx £500 less.
The previous owner was a hairdresser and was owned by the company.mi wonder if the owner before was the company owner and then transferred it into the company name! Who knows.

personally i would care if they transferred it around to whoever if main dealer sold you the car on basis it had one previous owner and you have proof of this i would be telling them to take the car, and then see what they are offering as some way of compensation although I reckon you may encounter the 'we never said it was only one owner" response resulting in a stand off

hope you get it sorted

So i own the car. I have the one owner comment in an email from them and also they stated the same thing again when I went for a test drive.

Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?

i wouldn't say you are if you have it in black and white from a main dealer the car only had one previous owner and its had 2 they have lied or they was mistaken either way its not what was agreed was it, i would personally make a bit of noise you may get a free service or even some money back and it may also make them have words with salesman and make sure he's not doing this regularly

mine was similar in that it came back on hpi and everything as one owner and garage said one owner then i get v5 and it says 2, luckily i paid a very good price as it was only 500 more than webac offer and from a dealer where i px's my old car as well for what i thought was a very good price

So its worth £500 less. Im not sure what you paid for the sport but if you were happy with the price and the condition of the car i would let it go. Is £500 worth the drama and stress? Maybe it is. I doubt they will take the car back but maybe you could push for a free service or something?

Is one owner who red lined and abused the car better than 2 careful lady owners?!?!?!?! 2012 Evoque
2014 Sport Autobiography
2015 SVR for the fun stuff
2016 Evoque SI4 Dynamic Lux for the daily drive
2016 Defender 90
2018 SVR

Update,

Dealer called me, he did some digging and it seems that the two previous owners are one and the same.

He sent me a copy of the original V5, and its seems the previous owner has changed address but also slightly changed her name, as in put her company name in there too, hence why it now shows as having two owners.

So all good in the hood as they would say!

i've seen this many times before and encountered it a lot when shopping for my rrs. before you owned it it had one previous owner on the V5, that's correct. But now that you own the vehicle, the then "current" owner becomes a former owner, making it two in total. It's a very cheap marketing tactic. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

luke I agree with you, I have noticed that a lot. Always check the V5 form should say 0 previous keepers if your looking for a one keeper car.
Only reason I bought mine was because it was one keeper car and owned by TV presenter, Andi Peters.

true. the fact that a main dealer was involved in this con trick is reprehensible. this wasn't a mistake. They should give you a free service. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
