Switzerland 2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I'm happy with my TD6. It has its faults, slow, could be quieter, but I'm not trading for a good few years yet - probably when the next version has got old!

I did sell a perfectly good 2006 Td6 Vogue because I wanted a 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE.
The usual need to change up and get something better got hold of me.

In hindsight it was a mistake, as I only used the car to plod to work at 65(ish)mph and the TDV8 cost twice what the Td6 sold for.
So I had an additional 20k tied up in a vehicle that looked the same. Except it was a quieter, less comfortable (later seats) and had bigger future depreciation.

I really wish I'd kept the 2006 Td6 as it did everthing I needed at a far more sensible cost. Sad
The TDV8 was better in some areas, no doubt. But it wasn't that much better to justify the cost difference.

It may sound like inactivity or just penny pinching but this is exactly why it came to my planed time to change last month I just couldn't justify it for the same reasons you laid out Fox , and I trust this one I know it well and in tree years all I have had is the usual EAS compressor fail. 2008 MY Supercharged
Rimini Red / Jet
four zone climate
remote park heater
and no ugly kid windows.

Got to say, that was pretty much my reasoning for buying the TD6. I would've prefered the TDV8, but it would've cost nearly twice the amount. Running costs - maybe a little more for maintenance for the TD6, but depreciation would've been at least twice - on a car I maybe do 8000km per year.
