Glad I had my Range Rover on the beach today...

There's always one bellend who PCP's a new 4x4 and thinks he can drive "offroad" without the right gear and with zero training.

There was a story recently (last few years) where a couple (and their new SUV/crossover) were found dead floating in the sea after some bad weather, the story was never concluded, but i'd bet money the guy thought his car could drive through something it couldn't and it cost him his life.

How would the outcome have been different if he'd bought it with a suitcase full of cash?

Clearly, someone wasn’t sleeping with one eye on the gravel....

I'm glad you asked............

The answer is quite simple, when you spend hard earned cash on buying a car outright, you don't go driving like a bellend on a beach.

If your into offroading, green lanes, etc etc, you'll have done research first and realised it was a bad idea in a stock RR. If your into showing off, you buy a 4x4 on PCP, you get it stuck on a beach, you get it towed out, you keep it a few years, then go back to Audi/BMW.

I wouldn't put any vehicle I owned anywhere near salt water, it's a death sentence.

I'd say so, as only an idiot would do that, and would an idiot have that sort of cash to throw at a new RR? I think not....

Even if someone put down a £15,000 deposit, they'd still be paying about £1,000/month on a Range Rover. Is that just throwaway money that any poor person is happy to burn?

You're a f*cking idiot \o/

Could've used the now empty suitcase as a floatation aid?.

Definitely is for a wked mk1 Discovery, favoured by the kind of person that “knows about green laning”

Wanna bet.

I know plenty of people that buy cash outright and still don't have a clue and do many stupid things with/to their cars.

What a walloper you are.

If the guy who stuck his RR on the beach is reading your posts, he probably feels better now that he's not the biggest tosser on this thread.

Maybe he / she didn't put in in the correct terrain mode, easy mistake to make...

The person buying with a suitcase full of cash is obviously a shady sort of person and wouldn't want the publicity of being beached.

One of the main reasons I prefer owning my cars outright is that I can do daft stuff offroad and not worry about every last ding and scrape. I don't care about that sort of minor damage so it would seem silly to have to keep the man at the lease company (who very much does care about it), happy too. So I'm not sure your theory holds water (like that Range Rover might be doing now).

So you'd put £50'000+ into a brand new 4x4 and then go screw it up?

I know plenty of people who put down £1'000 to £20'000 on an old 4x4 and head off green laning, but that's totally different.

I'm genuinely confused as to why you think the way a person treats a vehicle is different, related to their purchase method?

Cash buyers treat everything like a child? People who use HP will sh*t it up a little bit? PCP customers will drive it into a river?

It's utter horsesh*t.

You don’t half talk some cobblers.

[Cold]

I'm interested to know how using a car within its design parameters is "screwing it up"?

How many pictures would you like of FFRRs and Discos our and about in the wild ?
