Hi as I am looking at a ff/disco and rrs is £12000-£13000 a realistic budget to get a good sport ?

More often than not, you get what you pay for.

Cheap ones are usually cheap for a reason. Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

Previous: Mercedes CLS, BMW 330cd M sport, Nissan 200sx, Impreza STi, EP3 Civic Type R

From someone that has been looking for a sport for 6 months and just purchased your budget isnt going to go far.

the best advice I've picked up from just browsing here it afford the best you can and make sure you try to get a warranty as these things do go wrong and are complicated (which means expensive!)

I thought it was worth paying that bit more to get mine from a LR dealership so that it has a proper warranty.

I have just purchased and my wallet is feeling a whole lot lighter - took me about 6m to find mine. Also I reckon I have had birthday pressies for the next 10 years at least. I bought from a LR dealer for pretty much the same reason as CHIN. Most of the advise here is spot on and in the main helpfull.  SDV6 HSE, Indus Silver/Ebony

Health to enjoy as they say my side of the Irish Sea.... 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

I'd say you wouldn't have to push the budget up too much more to get a decent one. Factor in a bit extra to get the common problems sorted though. As said, this site is great for advice on problems should they occur

If you do end up getting one so cheap, chances are you'll be spending lots on immediate servicing and replacing wearing parts, new belts etc etc.
If you can like everyone's said, dig a little deeper, plenty to choose from, with less problems.
Just my opinion.

Thanks for all the opinions so far
I'm in no hurry to buy, just need to weigh up my options first.
Not wanting finance so I will just wait a while longer.

Hi Brian, I have just gone back to RRS ownership, from a SC to 2.7 Diesel (been chipped) and man do I love it. Don't listen to the doom mongrels or be put off by the negative comments. My car was late 2006 £15 k but a friend has just purchased a 2.7 for £13k and it is in show room condition.
There are good cars out there but I agree shop around until you get lucky.

Trust me you will love the car.
