Well gents after a few months of research I’ve taken the plunge today (big toe only) pending a pre purchase inspection and placed a deposit on this

Service History is great
New Compressor
New Amplifier & Parking module due to the standard sunroof water issue - the rest has been given the all clear 🤞
New Lower Control Arms
Other bushes & Boots have been inspected & ok - we will see what Independant LR says
Was traded at JLR Brisbane on a New RRV by original owner
$43k drive away with 3 yr extended warranty 🤷‍♂️. Who knows how good that is but it’s better than nothing.
If pre inspection comes back ok - then I think I’ve done okay.

Nice car mister. Congratulations. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green

I bought a very similar car late last year and I haven't looked back. Mine had limited history and I bought it on a deal based on some issues but I love it every time I drive it. Mine is the 2012 Westminster so similar spec.

Your pre inspection will check this but no harm asking about the oil cooler, air con, heated seats etc. These are all common issues. Hopefully it will go well and you'll be driving her like a boss soon. Current yokes
