Hi all

Looking to get my first range but battling to decide on a couple of basic elements. Budget is between 10k to 15k

Primarily I have been looking at the 2005/2006 models around the face-lift period with circa 70k to 90k miles oNot the clock. But now I have seen some 2008 models with higher miles Roughly 120k ish for similar prices.

So do I go for the lower tax band car with lower miles or a higher mileage car which ishould between 2 to 3 yrs younger! Prefer a petrol as not doing mega miles....

Any advice or experience appreciated

Cheers

Maybe.... Have only just joined the forum so haven't had the Chance to get to grips with the whole conversion options... What sort of cash is a motor like that?

PM sent.

I was in the same position last year and I would recomended looking out for a early facelift 4.4 or 4.2 SC model with the newer jag engine with 6 speed box . The 4.4 is what I went for in the end and if you mange to find an 55 plate you get the cheap tax aswell as a more updated car. The 4.2 SC model seems more common but insurance was very high for myself plus I always feel with top end performance models that they may have had a harder life and taken a thrashing ie gti, m3, audi rs etc. I know this won't always be the case but just the way my head works. Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Cheers for the feedback guys! Is this a face-lift model? Is it just the lights and the front bumper that are the give a ways? I don't have an engine pic...

Seems like a good bargain 1 owner Car 120k on the Clock... 7k

The interiors different too. MY07 onwards has the Terrain Response dial behind the gear stick. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

And an entirely different interior look too (not just the terrain response)

Much nicer place to sit...

The 07my> cars have a much nicer ride quality too, well worth driving a pre & post 07my facelift car back to back sir

I started with a similar approach, but I ended up buying a 58 plate 4.2SC with the facelift interior and £500 road fund

I love the car, the ride quality is superb Regards

83k on clock PM if interested.

I was in the same boat but I already had an 03 td6 and was looking at low mileage 05/06 models but after driving a 120k miles 2008 tdv8 my mind was made up and I went for the later high mileage one there is a fair bit more to them than just an updated interior (in my humble opinion)
