P38A Range Rover 2000 Vogue, 4.6 Petrol (Thor)

Just testing the water ...

I am retiring at the end of the year, I don't think I will be able to run the P38 on my pension. Seriously considering putting it up for sale, or swap for economical hatchback (were sadder words ever written?) of Focus/Fiesta/Golf/Polo type with cash either way. It's a 4.6 petrol auto, Oxford Blue with Lightstone leather, stainless exhaust, 118k miles, MoT to April 2019. Engine starts first time every time and pulls strongly. Does not overheat or lose coolant. EAS working as it should. A few marks consistent with age and mileage, but overall it's in good condition and looks smart. Interior is clean and fresh. I suspect ashtrays never used. Good service history (12 stamps) and a stack of receipts and bills to show it has been looked after. I bought it in February this year as a long-termer, and spent over £1000 fixing a few issues (new DSP, battery, t/box seal, arb bushes, ABS sensors and full service). It's now running great. For a number of reasons I have brought my retirement forward, and unfortunately 17 mpg doesn't quite fit with my new income!

Overall it owes me about £5000, but I am realistic and would be happy with £3000 ono. I have an eBay ad ready to go, but I am spending a week or two thinking it over. Any interest here would help me decide one way or the other. I'd much prefer the car to go to an enthusiast or forum member if possible.

Could you post some pictures

Sure can. I am at work at the moment, but will post some tomorrow when I am home.

Sounds nice.

Now on eBay, item number 163330763757. Asking £2950 or best offer.

Don't do it..

Buy a shyte heap to run around in and put the P38 on a classic car policy for peanuts and drive it on weekends or when you feel like driving a proper car..

I have only just sold my second car and vowed never to run two cars again! At one point there were three motorbikes and two cars (not to mention three bicycles), and it just got too complicated. Choosing how to get to work was a nightmare. I am now going for simplicity as well as lower running costs.

I appreciate your feelings, but my mind is made up. :-/

No interest at that price, so back on for auction, starting price £1499, no reserve. Item number 163345191289. It's got to go

I have a Toyota Yaris if your interested and you fancy a swap plus cash.
Nice simple motoring and very very cheap.

Could be interested ... can you PM me some details please?

Thanks to all for the advice and comments. The truck is now sold privately.
