Hi all,
Going to look at a few Evoque's today for my OH's mother.
Is there any decent buying guides / is there anything I should know?
I've read the what car review but what if like to know is common faults? What to check in the SH has been done?
She's sent me links to a couple and they all seem to be the top spec oil burners, 2.2 SD4 Dynamic Lux. Is that the one to get?
It'll be second hand, up to £35k so the one she wants to look at first is on a 61 plate. I'm guessing the LR warranty will be over?
Any helps or links I'll be really grateful for.

We've come away and she's got a few options.
A new one but they're saying its 7-9 months!
They have 2 nice second hand ones which are top spec, Dynamic Lux's, 2.2 auto's. One is White with most extras including pano roof and rear screens (which will serve no purpose what so ever!). The other is my favourite one in grey with surround cameras etc.
Both have the 20" wheels.
I couldn't of been more impressed by them to be honest.

The facelift is minor though.
The pricing is crazy, even the sales girl at a well known LR dealer said anyone who spends £60k on one of them and doesn't buy a RRS is off their rocker.
They certainly feel more than a £30k car though. One of the Directors at my place has just got the new Vogue and the other has the older Overfinch. I've spent a lot of time driving the Overfinch and the Evoque with all the options doesn't feel any less of a car inside in terms of quality IMO.

Just thought I'd say... She ended up buying a 63 plate Dynamic Lux in grey with a black roof and full black pack. She also got the dealer to paint the wheels black and change the RANGE ROVER lettering to black.
It looks bloody gorgeous and I'm so impressed with the interior. It feels very premium over what I expected.

It has the pano roof, no idea about heated steering wheel, I've not had a proper play with it yet but she didn't know how to unlock the doors from the inside the other day so I doubt she has a clue!
She's having another alarm fitted to it but it does have keyless entry.
Insurance was less than her previous Shogun.

A Cobra one recommended by Harwoods. It has glass shatter sensors etc. I'm guessing they can program it in to the original key? Maybe not.
I was certainly very impressed by them, I've always liked them in coupe form but in the flesh the 5 door looks so much better. I never expected them to be as nice as they are inside. Everything you touch etc has the feel of a proper RR.

She ended up spending a bit more for a 63 plate top of the range one in grey with every optional extra (I believe) and then had the wheels painted black to match the styling pack and the Range Rover lettering swapped for black letters.
It looks amazing IMO and is a lovely place to be compared to its competition, again IMO.
