Hi Guys and girls
Just joined and live in North Wales
Just about to buy on of the following and really unsure which to go for and would appreciate some thoughts

No1- RRSort 2010 facelift with 57,000 miles 3.6 tdv8 HSE
No2- RR VOGUE 2010 4.4 tdv8 86,5000 miles

Both are at the same money £11,000 (negotiated down) I fancy the RR but like the miles on the RR Sport but RR is 8 speed vs 6 speed and smaller motor

Use of either would be general running around but mainly distance and family weekends around

Help i dont know which !!

Welcome aboard
i would go for the proper Range rover, much more room and nicer motor the mileage is nothing to worry about.
the sport is just a disco in a different frock and requires body of for a few jobs like turbos.

I'd go for the L322, but that's me. I can't choose for someone else and can't help , as I never understand people asking strangers which car to buy.
But each to their own.

Thanks Guys
Seen both and it's the RR the ride is best, but ended up buying a 2009 RR Westminster 3.6 tdv8 for a great price, saw a few write ups and many think the benifit of the 4.4 don't out way the premium in price over the 3. 6
Collect it Sat
As a side note prices appear to be dropping like stones currently as the Southern based ones are costing so much in congestion zone charges
Guy I bought mine from says the phone hasn't rung and I bid him down nearly 3k and initial price was acceptable already, I'd had also spoken to a few other owners all London area all same story

Welcome

The TDV8 4.4 with 8 speed is a a great car. I may be a bit biased
