Ok I hear you BUT what did I lose - with all this depreciating asset talk as I still got my £20k back

In fact I gained as I channelled the cash in to my other car that has appreciated.

I'm doing the same with my Velar (V-Pace as you lovingly call it LOL) it's a new car and I will sell it when the new MY18 RRS is out and hopefully come out unscathed in terms of depreciation so a bigger deposit makes more sense (for me) on that one too.

Sounds good to me too RRS.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

If anything I can see the facelift RRS making residuals stronger. Look at the silly price of a new Velar (which is just a glorified F-Pace in a frock), and they are going to have to increase the RRS price so it's a) distanced away from the Velar, and b) to keep the premium model in-between the Velar and FFRR.

I still look at my GFV as an indicator of where prices are going. In Sep 2019 when my car hits 4yrs old it is going to be worth £45k. That's what Land Rover have stated, and if it drops badly I simply hand it back, which they cannot afford to do. Just think how many RRS's will get handed back without penalty if they do suddenly drop!

As said, I still think a bottom of the price band MY16 AB is your best bet. This for example: http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk/details/2757340

Unless PCP figures have been dramatically adjusted then at £58k this taken on a 2.5yr PCP will mean you are financing £15k over the term, with minimal deposit that works out at c£650pcm if you get a good finance rate.

RallyXS - I've just checked that car and it's a HSE Dynamic, not an AB. LR have listed it wrong on their website.

HSE's have a much lower RRP, hence the really low GFV you've been quoted.

Try again with a 16 plate ABD at max £61k or 65 plate at Max £58k. Also shorten the term to 3 years, GFV will be higher on 3yrs rather than 4, so a lower monthly.

Also you'll be quoted a high APR on used, make sure you ask for the lowest APR, they can do circa 6% if pushed, not the 11% house rate they normally quote. SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. But the big giveaway that it's not an AB is the side sills are not body colour SVR Carbon Edition in Estoril Blue MY 21.5

Certainly looks right, I've had a look through the AB's on there and they all have body coloured sills. Thanks. 2012 RRS SDV6

Some AB's haven't got the colour coded sill,,cannot figure out why as I thought they came standard with them.

I know they come as standard now. It's one of the things I looked at when ordering. In all honesty I found it strange it's not standard across the board. But I guess LR are making a killing painting these SVR Carbon Edition in Estoril Blue MY 21.5

Here's a quick example using bank PCP. 2016 AB, low milage. (Ignore the colour, this is just to give a yardstick to work from on car cost etc)

http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk/search#/details/2762505

So say you get £1k off the screen price and you put £2k down as a deposit, it comes back as £708pcm over 3 years. The bank PCP deals are always lower on GFV, so a GFV through the dealer will be £2-3k more. Each £1k in/out is worth c£30 off/on the cost per month. So say you get the dealer to match the APR, with the slightly higher GFV they give your payment will be closer to £650 a month...



It's exactly what I did with mine. I got the dealer to match Lloyds PCP APR, but with the Land Rover finances higher GFV it also meant it was also cheaper per month.
