Time to swap Disco 3 for RRS ?

I'm looking to replace my '05 Discovery 3 over the next couple of months and cross over to the dark side with an RRS HSE. Anyone seen better OTR prices than £44.9k ? I've seen that Motorpoint having 4 listed right now at £44.6k but assume these are not UK spec anyone know?

thanks

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Welcome to the forums, I've just taken a look at the Motopoint website and found the 4 cars you mention at
http://www.motorpoint.co.uk/(S(irxfxw55cy4...p;auto=yes

They are 2008MY and "delivery milage" so although no registration number is not given I would suspect they were pre-registered. RRS went into MY 2008.5 in October so you may find they are UK sourced unsold stock. List for them was £47700 + £710 for optional 20" wheels+ £350 for the privacy glass (if it is factory fitted). Looks like you are saving about £4100 on a discountinued version so you may be able to knock the price down further.
The first Silver one (ref 238914) listed could even be a 2008.5MY as it has Alcantra trim which the other don't have....... if you go and look at them then check that one to see if it has the electric adjustment for the steering column as that was a 2008.5MY upgrade. If they all have the phone cradle holder under the centre cubby box then they are 2008 or earlier!

If they are UK sourced you could be onto a good thing! Personnally I would take one of the Zermatts over the Java!, also can you life with an Ivory interior as they look like they all have the pale interior from the photos. 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

Those Motorpoint ones are imports from the Netherlands. Sold with a 3 yr waraanrty but not to full UK spec and by the time you add on the Motorpoint charges for OTR no longer worth a punt. Back to the drawing board so anyone know dealers with good deals on RRS TDV6 HSEs at the moment?

Thanks for everyones input. Got sorted yesterday so RRS coming in March....can't wait.

Shopping around is a very useful reminder of how arrogant BMW dealers are ref the X5, very much list price take it or leave it and by the way we'll seriously undervalue your part ex.
