Brand new Discovery Sport HSE - £1.5k deposit and £213/Month

[HannsG]

With a GFV value of £31,000 after the 12 months is up. This is on 6,000 miles - includes tax also

This is after the wife went in to enquire -we get 20% discount on most models from JLR / Ford.

Is this a good deal? Looks good enough for me, however I would much prefer a higher mileage allowance.

Also the model on offer is a 2.0 Diesel. Would seem dog slow? I think its a decent looking motor, but not really something I would probably drive much. Leave it to her and ferrying the kids.

It pretty much has a lot of kit, moon roof etc, just no rear TV screens. But hey ho

Thanks

Drove one a few months ago, no doubt practical but dull as ditchwater.

Four grand for 6,000 miles in a year.

Ended up getting a better deal on 10k, the initial figures were pure speculation until I went in and negotiated.

Discovery Sport HSE (Black Edition). Not keen on white, but her choice and she has it for twelve months until we chop it again. Also I ain't spending £800 quid on a premium colour when its only going to be on on the drive for 12 months.

Below is for illustration purposes. Ride was a bit harsh in the back during the test drive. Surprised, but I'm putting it down to the massive wheels. The 2.0 Ingenium engine or whatever. 180BHP was not as sluggish as I thought it would be. Must have a load of torque.

Certainly no petrol though. Which is what we are used to.

We've got the HSE Lux and think it's bloody brilliant. Genuinely enjoy driving it, and averaging around 37-39mpg.

Is this a rebadged freelander?

That's good to know. She will be driving mostly local to be honest, the odd 120 mile round trip on weekends.

I'm not sure what the basis for this car is to be honest. Is it a D5 model?

I hope you enjoy it but my mate had one last year, same model in red. Same sort of deal JLR deal with 20% voucher, £1500 down, 10k a year and was about £370 a month! Sadly, he was disappointed overall, and even handed the car back early at 11m , as he'd hit the mileage limit and didn't want to get the excess charged. he was very disappointed that the deposit was lost well and truly, the value at 11m was less than the GFV, so he had no equity to go into it's replacement as he had hoped, and as he had with his Jag beforehand. He was also a bit disappointed in the car period. For a 45k car, it was quite bland, not particularly bad, just not good, and pretty awful on fuel.
He's swapped onto a Mondeo now!
I suspect your deal was better money wise, so I hope you both enjoy the car at least!

Freelander was on the combined Ford, JLR, Volvo EuCD platform (mondeo etc). The DiscoSport is on a common platform with Evoque which is a JLR platform as far as I understand. So no.

That plate doesn't bode well for reliability.

Is that a genuine question? Thought this was a motoring forum.

It used to be. However, he has a point, LR seem to be churning out as many 'variables' as possible , resulting in most of their products looking like evolved Freelanders.

Disco Sport replaced Freelander a couple of years back.

[HannsG]

I suppose the only real question I have is am I meant to service this car within 12 months before selling on or PXing. With regards to the GFV?

Wife is most likely only do 6K worth of mileage to be honest.

[RS Grant]

Car will tell you when it requires an inspection/service/check surely? As long as there is nothing showing on the OBC when you hand it back then they can't say anything to you for not having it done. That said, it might be worth checking cost of servicing because if it's done on time rather than miles then it could be cheaper to hand back slightly early rather than keep it an extra month and be stung for an annual service right before you hand the thing back.

[VAGLover]

Is this PCH or PCP
