I would say that would be a personal choice but if the 2010 has loads more options and maybe better history I would go for that as long as the belts arc were done too |

You need to buy on condition, but I'd be tempted by the 2009 all other things being equal. Two owners and a full history suggests better care has been taken. Four owners and more miles on the other one makes me wonder if it's been moved on a couple of times when the money got tight, IYSWIM.

I’d also go for the earlier one!

Good advice here, I bought my 2007 TDV8 in September this year came with every receipt & fully stamped service book the owner appears to have had OCD judging by the condition & cleanliness, it was a private purchase so obviously no warranty, but I had a budget of £15,000 & only spent £7,000 on it so plenty in the kitty if anything crops up, has now done 89,000 miles, and makes me smile every time I drive it. |

I have a list of things to check, gathered from the collective knowledge and wisdom of this site and expect (hope) the driving experience to be a great one. And yes, I know buying a good RRS is a crap shoot what with crankshafts and a hundred other things, and that running one is not for the faint hearted or fiscally challenged.

Forgot to add - the 2010 is currently a grand less than the 2009! |

The feel good factor can wain quite quickly if you are getting niggly faults that have festered for a while over the life of the car, which means the 2 owner 2009 car could be the thinking man's option. Provenance is everything in my opinion when it comes to buying higher value, complex used vehicles.

There are some very nice well specced/priced owners cars for sale on this forum, depending on budget and requirements I would say that buying an enthusiast owned example is far preferable than any other way. I speak from experience and picked up a members car on here which is superb.

Hi, as already said try them and see what you think, you seem to already have a good idea what to look and listen for Decide what spec you want from memory of our 2010/60 No sunroof but did not want one either, it did have the "Extended leather" on dash ect and was nice, but doubt I would pay any more for one now at 9-10 years old, TV watched it twice in over 2 years both times while waiting to pick up swmbo All models that age have the Towbar receiver, check behind the panel for the electrics and a removable bar is about £150 s/h (RRS, D3, D4) (removable worked for me "infrequent use" and it was "maintained" only you can decide for you. Space saver istr was standard full size spare an option and my choice on tyre size would be 255/55/19 (50 profile is the standard on a RRS on 19") think the DVD was standard as well but as said it did have the TV. Regarding warranty, the 12m inc with the 2010 car does not sound that good if £2500 limit AND you have a 50% possible betterment very easy to spend £1k on a few bushes, brakes, service ect so there may not be that much between them Enjoy the search and echo some good cars get advertised on here dont rush in but if a car is nearly right and the expected spend gets in how you want it Porsche Cayenne 2022 gone Porsche Cayenne 2020 gone Corris Grey HSE Dynamic 2016 gone Ipanema HSE lux 2010 gone Rimini HSE 2005 !! |
