Ranger Rover - 15k

[tanqueray]

Asking for trouble or good value? You get about a 53 plate for this money it seems.

[Schermerhorn]

Personally, I wouldn't.

You either get an underpowered Td6 or a thirsty petrol for that money. Built quality isn't as good as newer Range Rover's and parts are still mighty expensive.

If only TDV8's were at that price!!!

You can get a Disco 3 for that money though...

[rocksteadyeddie]

Yes you can but bear in mind that the running costs are those of a £60k car so deep pockets can be required on occasion. They really are tremendous though

Just don't go for the diesel. The TD6 is toilet compared to the V8

TD6 chipped.
Good by most accounts.
Never goning to win at Santa Pod though.

Td6 is tractor noisy. Ours (53) gets a lot of electrical faults and there is never a time when everything works at once, we've given up with the dealer trying to fix some parts such as reversing sensors and electric steering adjustment (which is very intermittent)!

However you do get a very accomplished car for £15k an it still has a great sense of occasion.

Someone asked a similar question at work and we got onto the topic of RR's and RR Sports.

The general consensus was that they seem to be either owned by school mums or folk who see themselves as drug dealers.

i hate that.

rr sports are cracking cars. if someone likes one, then they should be able to buy one irrelevent of the 'image'

Depends on mileage. I have a 2003 TD6 had it chipped and love it. Yes you get some problems but you do with any car. Dont know why people slate them. I love mine. even chipped it aint gonna break any records but the feeling you get from driving one outweighs anything else. If I want power and speed I use my Skyline. Simples...

I agree with you, I think they are brilliant.

My car is 53 plate, I've owned it for a number of years (although I paid more than 15k for it back then!) and it's been fine. Some niggles, nothing outlandish or wallet crippling. Expansion tank, brake discs, a couple of ball joints etc
They are all getting to the stage where transmission fluid should be changed and oil collers and radiators are failing. Not massively expensive to do but could cause expensive issues if not dealt with promptly.
