Range Rover Deals

[Royl]

Has anybody heard of Land Rover giving massive reductions on the Range Rovers to shift the current model before the new one comes out?

I was speaking to a Porsche dealer today who says there are up to 10k reductions to be had on current model range.

Cheers

[Triple7]

Yeah, been that way for the past year!

There are some very good deals available on Westminsters at the moment, think £57000 with two years interest free finance as a starting point, if you have no shame you could get an even better deal with some hard negotiating.

i think it would be a mistake to buy the old shape car for a discount of £10k . surely that is not generous enough .

would you be keeping this for a very long time or do you change cars often?

[Royl]

I've obviously been out of a loop too long!!

[Royl]

I'd certainly keep the car for 3 years!

I'd rather get a deal on a car now with the dealer taking the hit and save a few quid than pay over the odds on a new model car where i will ultimately take the hit in 3 years time. Does my approach make sense?

[jas xjr]

i think there would be a massive hit after three years . the £10k would be a drop in the ocean .

would contract hire or leasing work in this instance ?

if buying outright it might be worth trying some brokers rather than main dealers

If you finance the car on a Land Rover PCP or APP, then you have the GMFV as a stop-loss. You will then know exactly what the max cost could be at the start. With that in mind, I would put in the minimum deposit as you can afford and have a higher monthly. That way, if at the end of the finance deal the car is worth less than the GMFV, you will have only lost the small deposit & monthly & can walk away.....

[Royl]

Cheers for the advice guys

[Mattt]

Although surely the GMFV will have already priced in the horrific depreciation the old model will suffer?

[budrover]

I have a friend who has got a new westminster and banging a thousand miles a week on it ... great car and cheap range rover motoring.

I recently bought an 11 plate 10k mile 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE from a main dealer (absolutely as new) which depreciated >£20k from new and received retail for my RR trade in. Suggest you check out the difference between the Westminster and the Vogue SE before deciding....

With the equivalent new model (L405) costing £20k more than the old model (L322) I suspect that the old model prices will firm up again once the last of the L322's have been sold. Although, having said that, buying a new FFRR is always a depreciation disaster.

No.

There isn't enough margin in the car to do that deal.

Pre-registered or ex-demo perhaps but then you won't get the 0% drip.

I agonised for an age over this but went for the latter

What is the difference, just out of interest?

I wonder how many design faults/recalls the new model will have. Presumably, once the horror stories of diffs seizing, gearboxes failing (or whatever they are this time round) start, it will cause the L322 values to bounce back up again?

I find it thoroughly depressing just how poorly tested and built these 'premium' products are.

It's all here

For me the seats in the Vogue SE made the difference. Also, personally not so keen on the Westminster front end added bling.

That's odd then, because that's what I was offered the other week, I ended up buying a 18000 mile sport hse which I pick up tomorrow afternoon and let someone else take the new car bath.

[Royl]

Well the dealer tried his best to insult me with 1k off list for a Westminster. I laughed and told him to let me know when he's ready to be sensible. He's calling me on Monday.

48 month residual of 23k - shows how much confidence they have in their car.

What is the best discount anybody has actually received on a Westminster? I know 57k is mentioned above but is that heard of, or actually been achieved by anyone??

Thanks in advance guys.

I spoke to a dealer today about a Westminster.

I was offered £2,000 off list price, plus approximately £1,700 in free insurance (gap insurance, alloy wheel refurbishment, tyre insurance and paint and leather coatings / protection etc) and about £,1000 off a tow bar fitting and privacy glass.

24 months financing, a deposit of £20,000 and 23 payments of £498 at 0% with a GFV of about £36,000.

I walked away... just not attractive enough a deal. £11,500 in monthly payments, plus a likely loss of £15,000 (based upon an actual value of £40,000 in 2 years time) = £26,500 for two years of ownership.

If you can tell me what dealer that was i'd love to buy their stock as mine costs me more than that from the factory.

THE COST OF BUYING NEW AND RUNNING ONE OF THESE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IS JUST RIDICULOUS AND ITS A SHAME BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE AMAZING CARS.

I THINK I'LL JUST STICK WITH MY 56 PLATE SUPERCHARGED WHICH HAS DONE THE BULK OF ITS DEPRECIATION. FUEL COSTS WERE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE DECISION TO CHANGE BUT WITH THE COST OF A NEW CAR, I'LL STILL BE AHEAD OF THE GAME WITH PAYING MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COSTS AND THE ADDITIONAL FUEL.
