Hi people,
Here we go, I am looking to buy a ex-demo rrs in the next couple of weeks (too impatient to wait for newbuild lol) I have narrowed the search down to two but can't make my mind up between them. So if I list the main differences a little help/experience would be appreciated.

Car A
MY14/64 plate, 7500 miles, Fuji white, Ebony/ivory interior, Perpendicular Park assist, Blind spot monitor, reverse traffic, TV, Fixed sidesteps.

Car B
MY15/64 plate, 250 miles, Corris grey, ebony/grey interior, HUD, In control apps, Deployable sidesteps.

Both are Autobiography 3.0 sv6 and the prices is almost the same with B being £1,000 dearer.

I know its down to personal choice but a few pointers on the options usefullness would be appreciated.

Oh and 1 other thing, I have never driven an rrs/auto before, does the epb come off automatically on a hill as you accelerate....

Thanks for your time and patience.

Option B for me, please!

Justification:
HUD is cool
I never watch my TV
In Control is the future of everything
White SUVs can look a bit like rolling kitchen appliances
Deployabe sidesteps are a bit like transformers robots in disguise
7500 is "a lot" of miles, and 2015 MY better year to have, will be worth more in future
Blind spot is cool, but you'll still use your mirrors, right?
I've never had an issue parking perpendicularly all by myself


In previous model RRS, I have never had a scenario where park brake has not auto released. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

White SUV look like rolling kitchen appliances

I'd have to go for option b for the tumble dryer on wheels reason unless of course you live in Billericay in which case option a is the car for you

Have they both got the 306bhp engine? If the MY14 doesn't have it then that's the decider in favour of MY15 in my opinion.

Even if they have the same engine, option B for me too: newer, less miles, Grey looks nice. Blind Spot Monitor is useful (especially if you drive to the continent) but not enough to go for an "older" car with more miles IMHO. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
Gone: MY16 RRS2 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic, Carpathian Grey & Santorini Black Sliding Pano/Ebony & Ivory 2 Tone
Gone: MY13 RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Black Edition, Orkney Grey/Ivory
Gone: MY09 RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE, Santorini Black/Almond

White all day long - best colour on the RRS IMHO especially with the black detailing

Have a look at my gallery for pics.

Having said that I would go for the car with the newer engine for sure.

Agree with RRSman white range rover sport all day,comes down to the engine

Just checked the engine specs and both show as 292's so I guess that doesn't help..

There is only one way to settle this. Do you watch TOWIE and/or holiday in Marbella?

Definitely white, but mileage and a year younger for a grand is worth the punt


 None currently




Gone
rejected RRS autobi Dynamic MY14.5 (Peter Vardy 👎)
D3 XXV full conversion
4.2 SC FFRR
4.4 FFRR
Freelander 1

White is a bit too common IMO....but then so is Corris Grey.  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

How many previous owners on car A? 2 or 3 - if it is a demo it is "old"and has a lot of miles. If 2 previous then one should be a dealership. Negotiate hard on price as I bet the previous owner got £10-£15k less than you are being asked to pay.......... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I hope my kitchen joke is not triggering any "race hate" on this site!

One thing's for sure, I wish it was my decision to make.. Doesn't look like I can change my doggie doo brown one for another couple years  L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Let me try this again:

Each to their own of course. I just can't help thinking of Katie Price every time I see a white Range Rover for some reason.
