Hi all.
Well last few years has been a mixed bag of cars for me.

2009 (59) UG focus RS mkII, Then 2011-2012 the beast a 2009 (59) Nissan GTR black edition and end a 2012 a Jaguar Xf 2010 ( Don't know why i bought that car ) Nice car just felt about 70 in it.

Now i'm looking for something different and really like the look of a RRS. Don't want to spend over 40k as its just a second car for me. Seen a black (which is the only colour i want ) 2008 (58 ) TDV8 HST at £29000 with 24k on the clock 1 owner. Do you think this is a ok price from a dealer with 12 months warranty. I don't have to buy from the dealer as i can buy out right but like the peace of mind you get from an approved dealer.

Also apart from the looks of the HST is it really worth paying that bit extra for one or would you just stick with a HSE model.

Anyway thats me saying Hello and picking your brains.

Cheers Gary.

Sounds good to me mate and get a remap also as I have done. I came to teh RRS from an M3 and love it!!

Hi and welcome.  TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx
20" HST alloys, Privacy glass, Side steps, Xenon Adaptive Lighting, Adaptive cruise control

Thanks Sherlock. Will 100% get a remap. I do like more power .

Just thought I'd add the cars not from a LR dealer, Its another make main dealer, Would this put you off buying it ?.

I bought mine off an independent 4x4 specialist and purchased a warranty separately. so no it wouldn't put me off provided i did my homework. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

Just a quick update. Just spoken to the dealer and he's just got the car in and its ever thing he said. Full LR service history but with 4 stamps last done September 2011 so it ready for one.

Now i know its low milage at 24k, But would it worry you that its been 16 since its last service ?.

I forgot to ask him what the milage was at the last service. Which i will do tomorrow.

Update. Well the HST turned out to have 50,000 miles on the clock so that was a no no.

So a few days later me and the wife went looking around sheffield at a few dealers. Went to one dealer and he had to a 2007 and 2010 and after seeing the 2010 next to the old shape i could not bring myself to buy a old shape.

So we looked at the 2010 and the next day went to look at another one at Land Rover dealers in Chesterfield. Test drove a white 59 plate TDV8 which drove nice but looked a bit dull .

Next to it was a 2012 black autobiography and to say it was love at first sight was an understatement !.

So had a test drive and that was that a deposit was left .

Picked the car up friday and love it , But to say i started looking to spend around 20K on a car and ended up spending 56k is mad.

I will look to get some photos up when i clean it as i've had it on the fields today and got a bit of mud on it .

we lcome to the forum mate and glad you got what wanted, i want a gtr lol

Cheers mate. GTR is a fantastic car and i found that it would leave everything behind at the lights apart from the big power bikes and its still give them a run for their money, But found they cost a small fortune to maintain. Still glad i've own one. If its power for yours bucks you want you can't get better than a GTR.

i have a r34 as my sunday toy, its running just under 500 bhp but i love the look of the gtr but if i was to have one i would need to sell my rangy and 34 to fund it
