02/03 Range Rover Vogue
Discussion
Hi All,
This is my first foray into the Land Rover forum! I’m thinking of buying a 02/03 plate RR Vogue. Probably with around 80K-90K on the clock. The 4.4 V8’s seem to be trading at around £10-£14K which is a lot of car for the money. I believe they were around £65K new.
I guess the main running cost of these is the fuel comp? I’ll only be doing 5000 miles pa so I’m not too worried about that. If I only spend £12K then deprecation won’t be too bad either.
Anyone have any experience owning/running a RR this age/mileage? Are they a money pit? Anything to look out for? Did a search but couldn’t find much info…
Cheers!

I would suggest test driving a few before committing yourself. That way you will get a feel of how a good one should be.
Front diff was a huge problem, but LR eventually decided that they could replaced as a recall. Check that it has been done, or use it as a bargaining point, and make sure you get it done as soon as possible.

Cheers eliot,
It appears they are both £210 at the moment but not sure how that will change next year and the year after? It doesnt give you that info.
Can someone also please put the vogue models in spec order?
including Autobiography etc?

Vogue (sensible)
Vogue SE (only on later cars, Vogue with a few choice extras thrown in)
Autobiography is purely the name of LR's custom extra division - means nothing and everything, except to imply that something has been done to the car over and above the "normal" options list: this could entail custom ordered leather colours, exterior colours, wheels, stitching, etc etc etc. Thus some Autobiog cars will look totally different from any other Landie you have ever seen before, others you'd have to take apart with a toothcomb to find anything out of the ordinary.
PS - I seem to remember there was very briefly an SE below the HSE, which had absolutely nothing on it... didn't last long though IIRC.
