Hi - first post here, been lurking for a while! Went for a drive in mates RRSport 2.7 and I want one! Current car getting the chop at end of November, so very keen to find a good example before then.

Spec required:

2.7 Diesel
HSE
Colour: ideally Silver or dark Blue
Age: 12-24 months

Cheers

You'll be looking at about 35k upwards. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Doubt that you will find a 24 month old RRS as they have not been around for that long. Would suggest that you are looking at nearer 40 k for a decent example.

June 05 = 17 months. There are some early examples from about Feb 05 but don't touch them, tend to be press cars.

I was thinking about a RRS VO that I saw for sale until I found this on the web.

And the dealer didn't have a clue, or wasn't telling me! Might drop him a line tomorrow as the car is still up for sale! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Thanks for the advice - so around 12 months would be good then, guess first ones off the prod. line might have teething problems.

Looked on What Car depreciation index - and yes I know these things can be a little hit and miss - but it says £35K for a 2.7 HSE with no additional options - so 40K seems a tad high??

Dealers are currently offering £40k on 12mth old HSE's as p/ex as we speak , even with mileage as high as the top twenties

I think the MY07 price hike to £48k is doing wonders for the RRS TDV6 HSE prices used.. i got bloody £40K for mine back in April..!! oh well.. was 4.5k for me in 8 months, not as good as Schmoogle..! but better then u know who..

I was curios today and asked my usual dealer for a trade in price against the TDV8 on order and was offered, over the phone admittedly, £38,500 for my decidedly high mileage but still good condition, never ever polished by me, TDV6. I’m keeping it for another year and letting wife and people use it but I was gobsmacked by how little it has lost in nearly 14 months. Sorry MDP (is that now a tla for major depreciation problem?) (apologies if someone got there first with that one – I’ve been away for some time you know).  11 XFR
