2005 Range Rover Vogue SE Supercharged Zambezi Silver

Decision time.

So, the time has come to sell my beloved SC and I'm not sure what to go for next.
For my budget I can get a 3.6TDV8 Vogue SE or a 4.4TDV8 Vogue.
The question is - do I go for the higher spec or the newer engine??

Nick, you've missed out the 5.0 s/c which is the next natural progression from a 4.2..

Even with the best 'Man Logic' I cannot convince myself to get another SC - my annual mileage is just too high

anything over 10k miles P/A I'd definitely go for the 4.4 V8 Diesel, its not far off Supercharged Performance and if you are really that fussed about an extra second to 60 get her mapped by JE

calculations are in order here Nick,

2011 5.0 petrol 37k miles @ £42k http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-Land-Rover-...25871d971f
2011 4.4 diesel 27k miles @ £45k http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-11-Land-Rov...3cda4d17bd

that makes nearly £3k you can use for petrol..

simples....

That's only 4 1/2 months of fuel for me Stan (assuming I get a similar mpg to my current SC). This is why I'm planning on going for a diesel. The 4.4 makes the most sense but not sure if I would miss the toys that make the RR feel 'special'.

SC's are for sad men who don't need any money for other interests in life.
