Hi, I'm new/ hope this is in right section/ hope you can guide me:
I'm looking at facelift version RR Vogue Diesels around the £15k mark and with FSH/ 70 to 80 k miles.
I've previously bought - when they were about 12 mths old - Disco 3 HSE and recently sold a Q7... Both great cars but the Q7 (even with an approved warranty) was astronomical to run (£4500 spent on issues in previous 12 months!).
There are nice looking (non pimped) RR Vogue TD6 and TDV8 around the £15k mark (intend to keep car a max of 2 years and estimate I'll do no more than 15k miles in that time).
What make engine is the TD6 in a 55 plate facelift (BMW or Ford/ other)?
Not worried about fuel consumption but I am mindful about resale price and feel £270 v £475 for road tax might draw more private buyers towards a mint/FSH 10 year old RR when I come to sell (I wouldnt really want to get less than £10k in private sale in a couple of years/ is that realistic?).
I've got £900/ year set aside for maintenance (should that be enough)?
RR are great looking cars but are they reliable/ don't have the time to be forever at the garage???
Hope you can help/ thanks
