Ex Land Rover car.. just rang them up and confirmed this is actually a TDV8 ex Land Rover car, so probably ragged to hell, but still VERY cheap TDV8 HSE… Is pictured with 19" wheels, and the dealer told me, they have added the 20" wheels on, and have put the privacy glass on. Bit funny to me, considering the car probably won't even book on an 06 plate, but a cheap car for someone..

Other examples, of UK cars..

Another bit of Land Rover research:

All Land Rover Experience vehicles, including RRS TDV8's are taken back by Land Rover after about three months and then put out into the second hand market via their dealers as ex demonstrator cars Most have very low mileages.

Nothing wrong with this, other than the fact that most of that low mileage will have been off road demonstrating the extreme capability of the car - twice a day, 7 days a week for a period of 12 weeks or so. A bit different from the normal dealer demonstrator use and nothing to inform the potential purchaser where it has been used. Some will say "so what - the car was built for it" but personally if I had a choice I would avoid such a background - unless I knew its background and the price reflected this.

rrsjo is this a new thing with the 3 months, I have been in cars at Rockingham that were far older than 3 months.

It may be that the actual LR experience centres have this in force but places like Rockingham I think are like franchises.

Of course all you have to do is avoid silver cars that were LR 'company' releases

Yup! That's right - they all seem to be silver!

Done Rockingham three times now - asked a few questions whilst there.

Kam - you have a mail from me.

Cheers MAW, you have a reply..

Was sent this from a very reliable source today reference this demo thing today..

"LR Experience Centres have their cars for a minimum of 6 months and maximum of 18 (contracted to them as LR Exp Centres are franchises), however the cars that are used on new model launches are generally under 6 months old and can be any colour. This is not to say they all go off road either as some may have been the on-road demo cars.

Best bet is to have a good look underneath (raise the suspension and get on your knees) as that’ll show any signs of off road abuse."
