hello im looking into getting a range rover sport 4x4 as my first car,
i live on a farm and my mum and dad have said they would help me buy it i already have 10 grand saved myself from helping on the farm since i was 15. i am 17 in JunE and looking to get one of the first sports models i think it would be deiesel one 2.7 litres.

my questoin to yous is what shoud i be looking out for on them? i dont really have any tech expereince but dont want a dogof a car, tranny and engine details my people arent car savvy cording to famely

Some details--

insurance is no bother covered under farm nfu cover

cost to buy is 17000grand for cheapest models so parents and grandmother given me extra to cover it.

fuel will be free from farm also

I would of had something else but only want a sport rangerover.

still at school so looks good in carpark :-)
cheers
JOSH.

I thought my journey into work was easier the last couple of days.

Then I thought, must be school holidays.

no you don't

if you lived on a farm you wouldn't touch a rangerover sport with a bargepole

You'd be wanting something a bit less errmmmm shall we say Jordan

I'd recommend the following:

1, Think about spending your (imaginary) £10k on some spelling and grammar lessons

2, Ask yourself where you are going to get the extra £5k or more that you'll need to insure a RRS at 17

3, Remove your original post that tells the world you're going to be running red diesel

4, I know it's the school holidays, but maybe pinch yourself and wake up - It's gone 4.30 pm

Don't forget to let us know when HMRC seize it from you.

£17m is a bit much for a rangerover, no?

Back to school / prison etc.

Just a pint ont he free deisel comment.

I have family who are farmers and the daughters get free diesel, but it's the correct colour. The farm has two tanks, one of red for the working vehicles and one of standard for the road vehicles. he daughters are allowed to help themselves to the normal diesel.

Anyway, back to the flamming of the troll.

Is it really? Is that legal?

Ah you see now that really isn't allowed.

Knee deep in clunge in no time, definitely.

To try to answer your post, no idea what to look for, probably typical car stuff. Wheels are round, has doors, that kinda thing.
