Just moved to Los Angeles (Pasadena) the land of SUVs and RRS, they are everywhere. I am looking at the 07 RRS with Luxury Leather Pkg, Sat Radio and 20" upgrade as well. I drive 30-40,000 miles per year (medical sales) and the RRS would be my only transportation...Is this vehicle reliable enough for such use? (my gas is 100% paid by employer)

And question #2...The MSRP plus the three upgrades listed brings the cost just shy of $65,000. Every dealer tells me (and some independent people as well) that when it comes to RRS, especially in Southern California, that they do not have to deal on price and pretty much get sticker for these babies. One dealer came down 1500.00. I am paying cash which they often don't like. Am I crazy to attempt to buy this baby south of 60 grand?

Thanks in advance for any consideration to my questions. Great forum too.

I guess I find myself in the same shoes as many prospective RRS buyers; I am in love with it and have my head half in the sand regarding the reliability issue. (same paradox as meeting an extreemly beautifl woman with a very low IQ - could be a love hate thing)

Go for it!

BTW in UK we basically pay nearly double for our cars!  RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.

IN PAIN!

Go for it - there can only be less RRS's than there are X5's and XC90's on the roads out there. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

I got $1500.00 off from MSRP on my 2007 RRS HSE with lux package at an Orange County Dealership in California. Shop around first and ask who gives the best deal and best discount. They will top the discount of what other dealer had given you specially if you will be paying cash. Some sales guy hate people asking discount and become sarcastic like what I had experience. I will never recommend him thats is for sure! Also try Costco Auto Service. "DESTINY IS NOT A MATTER OF CHANCE ITS A MATTER OF CHOICE"
