Should I buy this FFRR?

[Turbodiesel1690]

'Yes' or 'No' answers please, will tally once thread has run its course and go with the majority (maybe)

Thanks!

[RammyMP]

Yes!

[xuy]

Not sure, I would need to see the interior colour in the flesh

[Rochester TVR]

no

[A.J.M]

Yes, even though i'm not keen on the interior.

[RedLeicester]

One of the elusive manuals!

[Turbodiesel1690]

^^^ Yes, it seems to have had an automatic box fitted since that ad, this is the ad from the sellers own website. AJM, tend to agree about interior but would be a change as all my cars so far have had black interiors

thought the Vogue SE had rear entertainment?

i'd say the price is a bit high but don't known about NI prices?

but to describe it as a 'Jeep' would put me off - lol!

the ivory interior is a plus point IF its in pristine condition (i have ivory) makes the interior more 'spacious' - black makes it look like a cave imo

This. Personal preference and all that, but my Rangie had ivory, and now the Disco has Essence of Camel or whatever it's called - makes the interiors much nicer places to be in IMHO. Disco has wood dash, Rangie had dark wood and blue dashtop, though I suspect a black Rangie would get a black dashtop.

at main dealer the other day and had a look at a L405 - everything in black - truly unpleasant to the point of claustrophobia inside - plus it had the 'silly' individual rear seats - only any use if you have a 'driver'

also the leather in the seats seemed very thin? - others have said the Oxford leather circa 2005 was the best - i'd tend to agree

Way overpriced. Far better deals around for the price of cruise.

Why not spend a bit more and get a facelift version?

The No's probably have it

I went to see the car a fortnight ago and I was seriously disappointed - I've heard so many good things abour FFRRs (including from Clarkson) that I was fully expecting to be blown away and buy it there and then. I drive a Q7 at present, the experience of climbing out of it and into a Range Rover can only be likened to climbing into Postman Pat's van. I couldn't believe how much less space there was in the RR compared to the Q7 and how upright the windscreen and dash seemed, it was nearly laughable. I took it for a drive and again was disappointed, the ride wasnt what I was expecting and the engine/acceleration wasn't a patch on the Audi.

Alot of you LR guys won't agree with this but I've made the decision to stick with Q7's - hands up the FFRR would blow a Q7 away off road, but on it theres no comparison as far as I'm concerned *Dons flak jacket and helmet*

NO - it's diesel

Dreadful advert

Agreed. Anyone who describes a car as having UNBELIEVABLE SPEC doesn't really know what the spec is.
He also calls it a Jeep.

seems pricey
as discussed ad badly written

Also I'd like to see them substantiate their claim it is the highest possible spec.
