2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

Top 10: depreciation beaters

Number 4 in the top 10, beaten by the M5, Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 K and Jaguar XK

Range Rover Sport 2.7 TDV6 S
So your accountant tells you to drive something that won’t lose too much capital value. Get yourself a nice diesel, he says. And forget the idea of a sportscar, adds the wife; a big boot and five roomy seats for the kids are essential. And it has to be safe, and it has to pack some clout at the Gymkhana. No problem, you think; buy a Range Rover Sport, which’ll do all that and, as it’s worth 61% of its list price after three years, save you a packet. Perfect. And your reward? The finger from some anti-SUV type. Typical.

That's good but I doubt mine will be worth 61% of what I paid for it - never is when you trade in with a dealer 'oh sir, yes there were good but because of the mayor of London you can't sell these for love or money!' I can hear it now! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

He thinks they are a footballer wife's car - this come from a man who drives an XC90 as his family car, which as we all know is just a wives car! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Depends what day you catch him on (as with all of his opinions), but he thinks all RRS owners are footballers or drug dealers. But then he did love doing the Challenger tank thing... fickle man.

But thats only because a Volvo XC90 does not have sufficient cabin capacity to house my lardy frame
