That's going to have to go in the wiki with all the other RR acronyms: Mine has EAS, HDC, DSP, DSC, and, unfortunately, the occaisional BOD

 
RRC 2Dr, RRC 4Dr,
P38, and 2 L322s

cheeky feckers! I'll show you!!

BTW andy, this seems to be more like a good price

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Range-Rover-L322-/28...500wt_1156

That does seem a good value example but Im slightly put off by the chavy exhausts why would anyone fit something like that to a range rover?

I suppose I'd be best just to keep looking.

Im assuming many of you on here think the prices are way too high? looking through autotrader I'v seen 2003 TD6 HSEs with 120,000 with owners asking £15,995 I just dont get how they could be worth this much especially when the book price is much lower.

Its shocking that you can buy a top of the range supercharged for less than some of the TD6s I'v seen

I got my 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography with 120K on the clock for £15k. It had full LRSH and had been used as a company directors car. Everything had been done that needed to be done on it plus more. If you shop around you will find much better prices. I agree with what's been said before, it is often not work paying the extra for a diesel version as I would have need to drive almost 200,000 miles to make up the difference in money over my car. The running costs are the key to this. I average about 20mpg out of mine and I think TD6 owners get about 28ish. With diesel so much more per litre now the difference in cost per mile is negligible! I would (if you intend keeping it for a while) buy a better specced petrol variant.

At the end of the day something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

I could advertise my car tomorrow on Autotrader for 20K, but that doesnt mean that's what its worth. eBay will give you a much better idea of market value because it will tell you what people have actually paid.

Set up your search preferences and then click completed listings. You'll find that the higher value ones are all in red (unsold) and the ones that have sold in green are the ones to take your values from.

In reality Mileage on a RR is less of a factor. At 125K lots of things have fallen off of mine, but the previous owners are the ones that paid to put most of them back on.

I now have a well maintained and nice looking example that I hope will last a few years before I fancy a change again.
