Really want back into a RRS but I'm unsure what to do with the new full fat being realesed. I know I will only be able to get a few options on the new full fat if I'm buying cash but I am willing to consider finance. Tell me what you would do.

I think i'd go FFRR with the list of options you've specced its going to cost you near the starting price of a FFRR + you won't loose as much in depreciation on the FFRR with it being a new model just my opinion anyway.

Thanks for the reply buddy,

The price from buy a car is just over 63k

Big daddy has a starting price of 71k that would be basic. Used the build yours on the LR site and mine came in at about 105k

remember that the FF handles quite differently to the RRS

I too am tempted though! ============

I think the OP is weighing up the new FFRR..... Which by rights may leap-frog the RRS in the handling stakes.

Yeah, but what about the new RRS

As much as I love the look of the new FF, it's just too rich for me
I think there will be a 25-30k difference for a RRS versus the new FF in the spec above, only you can decide if it's worth it.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring

GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black

I'd buy the newest model you can afford.

If the new RRS is released and differs significantly from the one you'd have just bought you'll be annoyed.

At least the new FF is currently future proof for longer than the RRS.

For the money I'd go fully loaded RRS but consider dropping the rear screens as different options are available - iPad for instance, at a lot less cost.

From a financial perspective I wouldn't touch a spanking new RRS certainly not if your in it for 2-3 years.

FFRR if you can afford it then jump ship to the RRS in 2013/14 depreciation on both vehicles will be minimal.

Of course not everyone cares about the financials

.....cash or financed, its always the same outcome, a loss  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

45 others have been and gone!

Or get someone else to pay for it, but then the taxman wants his share.
